what is the root of a maildir? it is often better to give examples instead of (ambiguous) descriptions.
Ah, sorry, thought it was obvious in the config output. At the moment, I am using this, because this is the way I originally configured it when I set up Postfix: /var/spool/vmail/colin This is where I have my .dovecot.sieve, in conformance, I hope, with that what is written in the wiki:
"If you do not define sieve variable and do not return it from extra field then by default .dovecot.sieve file from user's mail directory will be used. I.e. if user's maildir is /var/mail/virtualuser1 then user's sieve configuration will be here: /var/mail/virtualuser1/.dovecot.sieve"
In my case, would that not be /var/spool/vmail/colin, in which case I shouldn't need to define under "plugins" in "sieve" in dovecot.conf ?
Note that you need to deliver with "dovecot deliver" (postfix does not do sieve) and you need to enable sieve in your configuration (see the wiki for more).
Yes, I realize that postfix does not sieve. By "dovecot deliver", do you mean lda? This is what I have in dovecot.conf:
protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster /at/ lim.nl # script_path = /var/spool/vmail/%n/.dovecot.sieve mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda mail_plugins = cmusieve mail_debug = yes log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver }
As I mentioned in my original post, I haven't seen anything written to /var/log/dovecot-deliver, hence I can't figure out whether sieve is working or not.
Thanks for your help.
