Hi Pascal,

thanks for the quick reply.

I enabled mail_debug and restarted dovecot, but still no entry in the log file. I assume that deliver isn't properly set up. I'm using qmail and configured /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery as follows:

| /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mymail@mydomain.de

Running ps aux | grep "deliver" gives me this: qmail-lspawn | /var/qmail/bin/preline -f /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d mymail@mydomain.de

I checked both paths of preline and deliver and they're correct. And I use the fixed mail address passed as -d as seen above. The user is set up in the static userdb file: mymail@mydomain.de:{PLAIN}mypasswd

As I understood the mechanics of qmail / deliver interaction it looks correct to me. But something must be wrong :-(

Greetings, Steven

Enable mail_debug, at least in the protocol lda {} section. That will log information like module loading and what the sieve plugin wants and finds/gets.

...

For testing purposes I created a very simple /var/mail/mydomain/.dovecot.sieve with the following content:

require ["fileinto", "regex"];

if address :is "from" "test@test.de" { fileinto "INBOX.Webi"; stop; }

Then I sent a mail from test@test.de (the real address is ommitted here) to my mail account, but the mail is not moved to the subfolder Webi. In the log files there's no single hint what's going on. And in /var/mail/mydomain there's no .dovecot.sieve.log file. This directory is owned by popuser and that user has rights for reading and writing to this directory (and read rights for .dovecot.sieve), therefore it should not be a rights problem.

Does anybody has suggestions what could be the cause of this?

Also check your mail log, after enabling mail_debug.

Regards, Pascal

Please stop top-posting.

My apologies for that, I'm new on a mailing list.

Qmail‽

Fist configure a 'master socket', so deliver will be able to perform user lookups. see http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#Virtual_users

Then save a message as /tmp/testmail Finally execute:

/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d<recipient> -f<envelopesender> </tmp/testmail

Don't forget to check your logs.

With the manual call it worked. In the log files I can see that the sieve script was loaded and executed and the test mail was stuffed into the right folder.

The only problem now is that deliver isn't called from qmail. Do you have any idea why that's the case? I did everything as explained in the Wiki.
