I do have two questions related to the managesieve setup in dovecot
- I did setup a global sieve filter, that is invoked if a user has no other sieve filter. If a user installs a sieve filter and activates it (PUTSCRIPT, SETACTIVE) then the sieve filter gets compiled (.sievec) and deliver does use it.
If I want to deactivate the filter (SETACTIVE "") only the symlink (to the .sieve script) is removed, the .sievec file remains intact. On the other hand the dovecot documentation reads (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve):
To stop using sieve, both the .sieve source file and the compiled .sievec file must be deleted
How can I let a user switch between the globally installed sieve filter and an own filter. Activation seems to be ok, but deactivation would not result in the switch back to the global filter if I believe the docs. The old and the new Sieve plugin (should) both require the original
Wolfgang.Friebel@desy.de wrote: script to be present. The binary is ignored otherwise. I don't know why this is listed on the wiki. I suggest you test this first and remove this from the wiki. Otherwise, it would be a bug anyway. I did check the sources and, by the looks of it, this should work correctly.
- To use the SASL authentication with managesieve the name of the service has to be given. In the managesieve RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sieve-managesieve-09 I can read (page13): The service name specified by this protocol's profile of SASL is "sieve". Ohw, good point.
On the other hand I can find in managesieve-0.10.4 in client-authenticate.c
#define MANAGESIEVE_SERVICE_NAME "managesieve"
The name is important for the Kerberos5 auth I am doing, as I have to provide a service key for managesieve.hostname@REALM instead of sieve.hostname@REALM. Currently I have adapted my auth to the "managesieve" service name but maybe that should be changed.
My Installation: dovecot 1.1.8 patched for dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4 Authentication using SASL (GSSAPI), contained in the perl Module Net::ManageSieve on CPAN. Yes, it needs to be changed. I am wondering though whether it is a good idea to adjust this for v1.1.8.
