Yesterday I was told that at a customer the vacation scripts don't work anymore. Looking closer it seems the whole sieve-funtionality is missing (eg. filtering mails into folders).
I am in the process of analysing, and don't have a clue yet.
Editing scripts via managesieved works (for example from roundcube).
The scripts are in the right place, afai understand.
I compare this with another setup where things work and don't see the difference.
All this worked perfectly until maybe summer.
This is Debian 12.7 bookworm, the dovecot repo still points to bullseye.
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dovecot.list deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/dovecot.gpg] https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/debian/bullseye bullseye main
There is rspamd in place with postfix if that is somehow relevant.
The installation is on premise and has maybe 60-100 mailboxes in now 2 domains.
That was the largest change this year: add a so-called "alias domain" in postfixadmin: mailbox@new.domain points to mailbox@old.domain
I assume the sieve scripts should simply be executed as before.
The basics of mailing etc work fine!
I'd appreciate any pointers.
trying to enable debug logs etc, for example I don't get anything into "sieve_user_log"

I fiddle with dirs and subdirs ... and sieve-test.
These tests look perfectly ok, although mails are NOT filtered when I send testmails via client or so).

i have

mails is here in ~/.maildir so sieve data is not in maildir home
$home for my users comes from a db query and not from /etc/passwd or so
that query should be OK as normal mailing etc works great
I changed the setting slightly:

But it seems sieve isn't really working to me.
I temporarily disabled that learning stuff with rspamd and modernized the used scripts etc

Hi Stefan,

so in this directory:
/home/vmail/%d/%u/sieve
now there's:
- the following symlink, right?:
.dovecot.sieve -> scripts/managesieve.sieve
- and this file too?:
.dovecot.svbin
But it seems sieve isn't really working to me.
Really strange ...
And another question - did you also change your 20-lmtp.conf, especially 'mail_plugins'?
Now your 'doveconf -n' shows (which seems OK to me):
protocol lmtp { mail_debug = yes mail_plugins = " notify quota acl sieve" postmaster_address = logs@xunil.at }
but in your first posting you had this:
protocol lmtp { mail_debug = yes mail_plugins = sieve postmaster_address = logs@my.tld }
And one last question: are there any log entries regarding LMTP and Sieve while delivering a new mail to a mailbox with active filters?
I just check one of my Bookworm systems with a quite similar setup but with the original Debian Dovecot packages:
# 2.3.19.1 (9b53102964): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.5.19 (4eae2f79) # OS: Linux 6.1.0-26-amd64 x86_64 Debian 12.7 ext4
and don't have any problems with Sieve - it just works.
Regards, Markus

Hi Stefan,
I think you havent;showed us any logging yet. Can you show logging from a complete delivery starting where postfix accepts a message, until dovecot puts it in your inbox?
In my logs, I can clearly see sieve handling my incoming messages, yours should show that too. So please show us the logs for a complete transaction.
Kind regards, Tom
