[Dovecot] SIEVE: Any information at all?
Hi,
I am quickly losing the will to live over the lack of any kind of information
at all about the SIEVE support that is listed in the dovecot features list.
Does anyone have any information at all? I've grepped through the source,
looked through all the configuration files, and googled a fair bit and come
up with nothing at all.
How would a user with maildir enable a sieve script? Does it run on port 2000? How can I test functionality?
Thanks, Leah
So, of course, as soon as I posted this I finally found some information in http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA. It looks like the sieve implimentation doesn't run as a daemon at all, is this planned for the future? It is nice as some mail clients can talk directly to a sieve server...

You're mixing Sieve (a RFC standard scripting language, which the LDA uses) with ManageSieve (a file transfer protocol, like the world needed another one.)
A Sieve LDA running as a daemon is pronounced Ell Em Tee Pee Dee. As far as I'm concerned, a ManageSieve daemon is pronounced "redundant".
That said there are people working on managesieve daemons for Dovecot.

Gotcha. I would like to have some way for users to manage their sieve scripts through a web based front end. With Cyrus, we use smartsieve. Is there anything out there that would work to manage the sieve files on a per user basis for the Dovecot style setup?

We use avelsieve with our own backend based on their file backend, but essentially, we're using NFS and symlinks.

Has anybody thought of implementing a sieve front-end as a module in Roundcube webmail?
Failing that, does anybody use anything other than a Squirrelmail plugin for manging their sieve scripts?

Yes. We have a webmail program that generates scripts based on metadata stored in a specially named IMAP folder, and once generated, uploads them to the appropriate mail server via an internally-used method.
I know that's not a helpful answer :)
I suspect I'll write a managesieve-like daemon at some point, although one that will mainly be useful for my own mda. I'm curious as to what clients support the managesieve protocol now, such that there is this clamor for it?
