[Dovecot] Getting started with sieve and conversion from procmail

15 Nov 2011


      Hi,
I have a fedora15 system with dovecot-v2.0.15, dovecot-pigeonhole and
and amavisd-new and would like to implement it on my system using
postfix. I've read the basic wiki documentation, but I really can't
figure out the proper starting point in my case. I've enabled
"protocol lda" in 15-lda.conf and added "sieve" to the list of
mail_plugins.
I'm trying to adapt postfix to use deliver as its LDA for multiple
virtual domains. I've added the following to master.cf:
dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
flags=DRhu user=dovecot:dovecot argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f
${sender} -d ${recipient} -a "${RECIPIENT}"
Is that the proper format? Is it okay to use the dovecot user here, or
should I create a new user? What permissions does this user need to
possess?
I've added the following to main.cf:
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
virtual_transport = dovecot
I have a number of procmail scripts and I've converted them to sieve,
but they didn't convert very well. Can someone show me how to convert
the following:
:0
{
:0 fhW
| /home/alex/bin/process-mail.pl
}
The script skipped right over that. I'm also trying to convert the following:
:0

(RCVD_IN_DNSWL_HI|RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW|RCVD_IN_HOSTKARMA_W)
!USER_IN_WHITELIST
!BAYES_00
!URIBL_
!KHOP_RCVD_UNTRUST
!RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED
!SPF_SOFTFAIL
SPF_HELO_PASS
SPF_PASS
{
LOG="DNSWL: "
:0:
whitelist/dnswl
}

The script only produced the following:
if true {
if true {
if true {
if true {
if true {
if true {
if true {
if true {
if true {
if true {
fileinto "{";
fileinto "      LOG="DNSWL: "";
fileinto "      :0:";
fileinto "      whitelist/dnswl";
fileinto "}";
}
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
