Hi list,
I’m trying this again from a different account because of lots of SPF warnings.
I have Sieve scripts that duplicate e-mails. I don’t want that. My dovecot version is 2.3.4.1 (f79e8e7e4), Pigeonhole version 0.5.4 on Linux 5.4.189-2-pve x86_64 Debian 10.13.
My scripts get called on an imap COPY action (imapsieve extension). The mail is fed to an external script (spam/ham training or retraining) via a pipe :copy action (vnd.dovecot.pipe extension). An header is added to keep track of what happened (editheader extension).
I use "if header :contains” for my (simple) logic. If contains header X, do this, add header Y. If contains header Y, do that, add header X. I end each "if” part with “keep;" and “stop;” commands.
Simple versions of the scripts, without the if-then construct, seem to work ok with imapsieve. As soon as I try to use if-then-else I find a duplicate of the processed e-mail; the original mail seems to be untouched, the duplicate appears to have been processed. With macos mail not all duplicates show up but with Roundcube webmail I can see them all.
The scripts are like this:
# without if-then require … pipe :copy … addheader … keep;
# with if-then require …
if header :contains pipe :copy … addheader … keep; stop;
if not exists pipe :copy … addheader … keep; stop;
keep;
The scripts get called from “imapsieve_mailbox1_before” for example.
Cheers, Ferenc
