Hello everyone,

I've been following the "poolp" guide on how to deploy an email server on OpenBSD:

• https://poolp.org/posts/2019-09-14/setting-up-a-mail-server-with-opensmtpd-d...

I'm currently at the very end of the guide in which he is using sieve with Dovecot to do some final filtering.

The unfortunate thing is that when I run these two commands in the '/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve' directory: sievec report-ham.sieve sievec report-spam.sieve

I'm getting the following error: # sievec report-ham.sieve report-ham: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability vnd.dovecot.pipe'. report-ham: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability imapsieve'. report-ham: line 15: error: unknown command 'pipe' (only reported once at first occurrence). report-ham: error: validation failed. sievec(root): Fatal: failed to compile sieve script 'report-ham.sieve' # sievec report-spam.sieve report-spam: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability vnd.dovecot.pipe'. report-spam: line 1: error: require command: unknown Sieve capability imapsieve'. report-spam: line 7: error: unknown command 'pipe' (only reported once at first occurrence). report-spam: error: validation failed. sievec(root): Fatal: failed to compile sieve script 'report-spam.sieve'

What's interesting is that this same post has the same exact error, and I tried his workaround which did NOT work unfortunately:

• http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/sieve-compile-error-td70414.html

This is what was present BEFORE my changes in ' plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms

sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment

imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve

imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve

imapsieve_mailbox3_name = Inbox imapsieve_mailbox3_causes = APPEND imapsieve_mailbox3_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve

sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve }

This is what was present AFTER my changes in '/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf' (aka I followed this post's workaround http://dovecot.2317879.n4.nabble.com/sieve-compile-error-td70414.html): plugin { sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms

sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.environment +vnd.dovecot.debug +vnd.dovecot.pipe

imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Junk imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY APPEND imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve

imapsieve_mailbox2_name = * imapsieve_mailbox2_from = Junk imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY imapsieve_mailbox2_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve

imapsieve_mailbox3_name = Inbox imapsieve_mailbox3_causes = APPEND imapsieve_mailbox3_before = file:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve

sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve }

Any ideas on what I can do?

Please let me know if this is better suited for the OpenSMTPD mailing list instead though.
