Dear all,
I migrated a dovecot installation that was using pam to a virtual setup where users are stored in a SQL database.
I see that my old pam based installation on the filesystem directories are starting with a dot. The new server does not have the leading dot.
So even if the configuration is mostly equal, I cannot find a reason why dovecot changed its behavior here. I do not define a separator in the dovecot configuration and the same dovecot package on FreeBSD is used for both installations.
My problem is now, that I use a rather complex sieve script to automatically sort mailinglist based emails automatically into subfolders. But as this script is using a dot it is now not moving the email into a nested directory like: github/haproxy/haproxy
but is generating a flat directory (depth 1) as github.haproxy.haproxy
I cannot change the behavior of dovecot, as I have several users running there and I do not want to cause problem for them changing the dovecot configuration.
So I must modify the sieve script. As I do not really know the sieve syntax, I would like to ask if hopefully someone here can help me. I think is is necessary to change the dots to slashes before the fileinto is executed.
The sievescript I use to sort mailing based emails into subfolder is: # # 2016-5-2 Script to sort mailing list mails automatically to folders # ## require [ "regex", "include", "variables", "fileinto", "envelope", "mailbox", "imap4flags", "vnd.dovecot.debug" ]; global ["sender_userpart", "sender_domain", "listname"];
# split out the various list forms # Mailman & other lists using list-id if exists "list-id" { fileinto :create "${listname}"; stop; } # Listar and mailman like elsif exists "x-list-id" { debug_log "Mailinglist: x-list-id found"; if header :regex "x-list-id" "<([a-z_0-9-]+)\\\\." { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } else { keep; } stop; } # Ezmlm elsif exists "mailing-list" { debug_log "Mailinglist: mailing-list found"; if header :regex "mailing-list" "([a-z_0-9-]+)@" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } else { keep; } stop; } # York lists service elsif exists "x-mailing-list" { debug_log "Mailinglist: x-mailing-list found"; if header :regex "x-mailing-list" "^\\\\s*([a-z_0-9-]+)@?" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } else { keep; } stop; } # Smartlist elsif exists "x-loop" { debug_log "Mailinglist: x-loop found"; if header :regex "x-loop" "^\\\\s*(a-z_0-9-]+)@?" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } else { keep; } stop;} # poorly identified elsif envelope :contains "from" "owner-" { debug_log "Mailinglist: poorly identified matched"; if envelope :regex "from" "owner-([a-z_0-9-]+)-outgoing@" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } elsif envelope :regex "from" "owner-([a-z_0-9-]+)@" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } elsif header :regex "Sender" "owner-([a-z_0-9-]+)@" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } else { keep; } stop;} # other poorly identified elsif envelope :contains "from" "-request" { if envelope :regex "from" "([a-z_0-9-]+)-request@" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } else { keep; } stop; }
Thanks a lot!
