Hello,

I’m experiencing some strange problem with imapsieve mailbox rules matching.

I have Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 LTS with Postfix 3.3.0, Dovecot 2.2.33.2 and Rspamd 1.7.9.

The problem occurs with Microsoft Outlook 2016 mail client.

When moving with Outlook, APPEND event is logged instead of MOVE.

However, when moving with another client, MOVE event is logged.

So without APPEND event in causes in plugin section of dovecot.conf no rule is matched at all.

If I add APPEND event into causes in plugin section of dovecot.conf, then for some reason imapsieve matches both rules on move from Inbox to Spam and no rules on move from Spam to Inbox.

Matching both rules attempts to run both learn_spam and learn_ham. First one works and second logs error (which is correct).

On attempt to move message from Spam to Inbox imapsieve not matching any rule at all and thus learning is not working.

Could you please let me know how to fix this?

More details.

Here is what I have in my plugin section of dovecot.conf:

---------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------

plugin {

imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/var/vmail/sieve/global/learn-spam.sieve

imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND

imapsieve_mailbox1_from = Inbox

imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Spam

imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/var/vmail/sieve/global/learn-ham.sieve

imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY APPEND

imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Spam

imapsieve_mailbox2_name = Inbox

sieve = file:/var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/scripts;active=/var/vmail/sieve/%d/%n/active-script.sieve

sieve_before = /var/vmail/sieve/global/spam-global.sieve

sieve_global_dir = /var/vmail/sieve/global/

sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment +vnd.dovecot.debug

sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/bin

sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms

}

---------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------

I also have Trash, Drafts, Sent and Spam mailboxes defined in dovecot.conf.

So when I try to move actual spam message from Inbox to Spam folder, this is what I see in dovecot.log:

---------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------

Debug: imapsieve: mailbox Spam: APPEND event

---------------------------------------- %< ----------------------------------------

So before I added “APPEND” into above imapsieve_mailbox1_causes and imapsieve_mailbox2_causes imapsieve was not matching rules at all.

But after I added APPEND, here is what happens.

In case I move message from Inbox to Spam both rules are matched and dovecot attempts to run both rules:
