[Dovecot] sieve newbie question
Hi all, can you clarify my doubts about sieve? I understand what is it, but what's the different between use exim with rules + dovecot and use exim + dovecot-lda + sieve rules? i can create many kind of rules on exim, then i don't get the difference.
if someone is so kind to explain me the main points i'll appreciate it!
Regards, Matteo

Generally, rules at the MTA (exim) level are global. Rules at the LDA (dovecot-sieve) level are user-controlled. Mail user agents that support sieve allow users to set their own personalized filtering and sorting rules. I am not aware of any mail user agents that allow individual users to set filter rules at the exim level that would only apply to one user.
Perhaps this background reading would be useful in furthering your understanding:

Ouch. The difference is macroscopic :-) It could be view as open standard alternative to exchange rule created by outlook...
Thank you Brian for your patience to explain me the obvious!

That's not completely correct, because exim supports filtering at user level if allow_filter ist set in a redirect router, e.g. the one reading the user .forward file.
