Hello everyone,

I'm fairly new to Dovecot, but I've gotten the majority of things working except for Sieve. I'm running Dovecot 1.2.9 coupled with Postfix and SpamAssassin all with a virtual domains setup. I am receiving mail and it is being processed by all the plugins that operate through Postfix. The quota configured in Dovecot appears to be working because my mail client shows the configured quota. But the Sieve rules are not processing. I created a rule as follows to filter spam:

require ["fileinto"]; # rule:[global-spam] if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "[SPAM]", header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES") { fileinto "Junk"; }

If I mail myself a message with [SPAM] in the title, it goes into my inbox regardless. I've run 'sieve-test' with the same email and it says it will file it into Junk. The Junk folder exists. I even tried adding :create and the "mailbox" plugin, but that didn't do anything either. Here is the relevant majority of my dovecot configuration:

login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3-login login_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login mail_privileged_group: mail mail_location: maildir:/home/dovecot/mail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir mail_debug: yes mbox_write_locks: fcntl dotlock mail_executable(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3 mail_executable(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve mail_plugins(default): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(imap): quota imap_quota mail_plugins(pop3): quota mail_plugins(managesieve): mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(managesieve): /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/managesieve imap_client_workarounds(default): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): outlook-idle delay-newmail tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): imap_client_workarounds(managesieve): pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh pop3_client_workarounds(managesieve): namespace: type: private separator: / inbox: yes list: yes subscriptions: yes lda: *mail_plugins: quota sieve* quota_full_tempfail: yes deliver_log_format: msgid=%m: %$ rejection_reason: Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r auth default: mechanisms: cram-md5 plain login passdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf userdb: driver: sql args: /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf socket: type: listen master: path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode: 384 user: dovemail group: dovemail socket: type: listen client: path: /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-auth mode: 432 user: postfix group: postfix plugin: convert_mail: maildir:/home/dovecot/mail/domains/%d/%u/Maildir

• sieve: /etc/dovecot/sieve/domains/%d/%n.sieve*
• sieve_global_dir: /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/* quota: maildir:User quota_rule: INBOX:storage=500M quota_rule2: INBOX.Trash:storage=100M

The sieve plugin exists in /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_sieve_plugin.so, so I would assume I'd have to use *mail_plugin: sieve* as my configuration setting.

Like I said, I am receiving emails to my domains without any problem, but sieve rules are not being processed. I can see the rules set up by using the Roundcube plugin, and I can create and edit rules through Roundcube, but nothing different happens when I send myself an email. It all just delivers to the inbox.

Thanks for your help,

Steve K.
