Hi,

Is there a clean way to match on an email address the way procmail ^TO_ did? that was a macro which expanded to (^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To|Cc|Bcc)|(X-Envelope |Apparently(-Resent)?)-To):(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?)

so you could write

^TO_dovecot dovecot

and grab messages to the list. In sieve, I find myseld writing ["To","cc"] and wonder if there's a better way.

I’ve been using:

if header :contains ["List-Id","Mailing-List", "Sender","X-List-Name","List-Post"] ["<mailto:php-general@lists.php.net>"] { fileinto "lists/php/general"; stop; }

For all my mailing list traffic. That seems(!) to catch most of them.

Thanks! Is there anything shorter, or a macro capability? I ask because I manually maintain the file, and really this

if address :is :localpart ["to", "cc"] "csprs" {fileinto :create "csprs"; stop;}

is easier for me to read and edit than that.

I haven’t found one. You might(!) be able to use a script or something to generate it.

I just keep repeating the block of code.

Yes, it can be on one line, but I like readability (

For all my mailing list traffic. That seems(!) to catch most of them.

I can't remember where I got the original algorithm (and, in particular, the ordering) from, but I've been using the attached sieve script for a while with numerous mailinglists. It uses the 'regex' module to parse the mailing-list name from the headers (with various attempts to handle most of the major mailing-list applications). The listname is lower-cased (for consistency) and the message is filed into that folder (creating the folder if necessary). This means that, when I sign up for a new mailing-list, messages just start appearing in their own folder.

Thanks! This is super-interesting.

As I try to set up include, I get failures which may indicate a need for more coffee, but in /etc/dovecot/cond.f/90-sieve.conf I have:

plugin { # Directory for :personal include scripts. The default is to use home directory. sieve_dir = %h/.sieve

# Directory for :global include scripts (not to be confused with sieve_global_path). # If unset, the include fails. sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/ }

In .sieve/mailinglist.sieve I have your file.

In my main .dovecot, I have a line

include :personal "mailinglist";

When I run sievec, I see: sievec(adam): Debug: Effective uid=1000, gid=1000, home=/home/adam .dovecot: line 181: error: included personal script 'mailinglist' does not exist. .dovecot: error: validation failed. sievec(adam): Error: failed to compile sieve script '.dovecot.sieve'

I've tried include "mailinglist" and "mailinglist.sieve"; I've tried it in ~ and the .sieve directory.

All this follows https://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Examples, with the exception that I'm using .sieve rather than sieve as the directory name.

Can someone point out where I'm failing?

This took about 30 minutes of debugging so I figured I'd share.

The list-id block was giving me false positives, so I changed a keep to a fileinto :create, as shown below.

Adam

# Mailman & other lists using list-id elsif exists "list-id" { if header :regex "list-id" "<([a-z_0-9-]+)[.@]" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; } else { if header :regex "list-id" "^\\s*<?([a-z_0-9-]+)[.@]" { set :lower "listname" "${1}"; fileinto :create "${listname}"; stop; } else { # keep; fileinto :create "bulk"; stop;

}
}
stop;}
