Hello Dovecot users,

I finally managed to upgrade the ManageSieve implementation to dovecot-1.1. This also resulted in major restructuring of the code. The actual ManageSieve implementation is now available as a separate package and the patch now only contains the changes to the dovecot-1.1 tree that are necessary to use the ManageSieve service. The patch and the new package no longer contain another copy of the CMU Sieve code; the package depends on dovecot-sieve-1.1 for the sieve implementation.

Change Log v0.10.0

(Changed version scheme from vY to vX.Y.Z)

• Upgraded to Dovecot 1.1: - The actual managesieve implementation is now a separate package. The dovecot tree still needs to be patched though to make dovecot recognize the new managesieve service. - Incorporated changes to imap/imap-login into the equivalent managesieve processes. - Removed cmusieve implementation from managesieve sources. It is now linked externally from the dovecot-sieve-1.1 package. - Restructured README.managesieve file into separate README, NEWS, TODO, DESIGN and INSTALL files.
• Added support for new libsieve implementation (to be released). This package can be compiled with either the new or the old Sieve implementation (autodetected). If the new Sieve becomes stable, this package will be merged with it to make a single package for Dovecot Sieve support.

Installation

Patch your dovecot-1.1.beta15 source tree with the following patch:

http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1.beta15-managesieve-0.10.0.di...

The patched Dovecot can be compiled and installed as usual.

Download and unpack the dovecot-1.1-managesieve package:

http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/1.1/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.0.tar.gz

The README and INSTALL files therein should provide enough information to build, install and configure the ManageSieve service. After patching, your Dovecot source tree contains an updated dovecot-example.conf with a configuration example.

The documentation is still pretty sparse however, but I intend to build a wiki page in the near future.

Have fun testing the Dovecot ManageSieve service. Don't hesitate to notify me when there are problems.

Regards,
