I tried installing Dovecot Sieve Plugin. When I enter the command:

% ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-1.0.7

I get the error:

Error: C processor "lib/cpp" fails sanity check.

I think the problem may be that I am installing wrong version of Dovecot-Sieve-Plugin. Here is my system, just in case I am right:

CentOS 5.1 postfix-2.3.3 (Note) dovecot-1.0.7 (Note) dovecot-sieve-1.1.5

Note: Both postfix & dovecot are installed from CentOS 5.1 distro. I am sure that there are also updates.

Can somebody help with this problem? I am pretty GREEN, therefore, if you can provide with 4-5 installation lines, I will really appreciate it.

Thanks.

I understand that there is a package which is part of Dovecot to handle "Auto Responses" known as Vacation.

Where I can find more info on this package & especially how to install & configure it?

Hello All:

After all the responses I received on this post, I installed 'Vacation' as follows:

-Download Sieve Plugin from http://www.dovecot.org/download.html into 'Desktop'.

-Compile Sieve Plugin with Dovecot: % cd Desktop % tar zxfv dovecot-sieve-?.?.?.tar.gz % cd dovecot-sieve-?.?.? % ./configure --with-dovecot=../dovecot-?.?.? Note: We have the find the V# of Dovecot! % make % make install

-Edit '/etc/dovecot.conf': protocol lda { mail_plugins = cmusieve }

-Create a file ".dovecot.sieve" in '/home/test/' & add the following in this file:

require ["fileinto", "vacation"];

# Move spam to spam folder if exists "X-Spam-Flag" { fileinto "spam"; # Stop here so that we do not reply on spams stop; } vacation # Reply at most once a day to a same sender :days 1 :subject "Out of office reply" # List of recipient addresses which are included in the auto replying. # If a mail's recipient is not on this list, no vacation reply is sent for it. :addresses [test@tib.com] "I'm out of office, please contact Joan Doe instead. Best regards Test Msg";

-Restart 'httpd'.

Results: I do not receive 'Auto Response'. Can somebody look at the above and see what am I doing wrong?

I have also tried by adding the above file into '/home/test/Maildir/' without success.

This is my first install of 'Vacation'.

Thanks.

Hello:

1. I am new to LINUX and thus I am using only those applications which come bundled in with CentOS 5.1. Have no idea how to update to dovecot-1.1.1!!!

Do you know if Dovecot-1.1.1 works with CentOS 5.1?

2. I assume when you said logs, you mean 'var/log/maillog'. If so, here is a piece of it (it is quite large):

Logs? Also, you might ant to seriously consider upgrading to the latest (1.1.1 currently), it has come a long way since 1.0.7...

On a side note: There are not such problems when using OS virtualisation (as in Linux-VServer1, for example) - run an ntpd on the 'host' and have the same time in all guests. It also has very little overhead. So if it's an option to use OS virtualisation instead of "real virtualisation", maybe you can save yourself the hassle with time jumping backwards.

Hi,

According to your log file and configuration, postfix uses its own LDA 'local' to save messages to the fs. To use the sieve functions from dovecot, you need to configure postfix to use the dovecot LDA 'deliver', by adding

mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver

to postfix' main.cf, or read http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix

Time is critical on servers... you need to fix this. Are you running ntp client (NOT ntpdate)? Is this running in a virtual machine.

I don't see any complete logs of a single message that should have resulted in a vacation message.

Also, dovecot -n and postconf -n output might help too...

? Hopefully you don't have BOTH 1.0.7 and 1.1.1 installed? ;)

After the above software is installed, 'pop3' does not open.

Proof? Logs showing dovecot startup failure? Th logs you did show showed dovecot starting up successfully...

I research the internet and found discussion on this problem. It has something to do with IPV6 causing the problem. On the internet it is suggested to change [::] to '*'.

This is well documented in the example dovecot config file:

<see attached>

So, just change:

listen = [::]

to:

listen = *

or you can specify per protocol, again, as documented...

Weird... I had to attach the snippet from dovecot.conf showing the documented configuration for the listen directive - it kept bouncing telling me not to post my entire dovecot.conf file... maybe this 'filter' can be tweaked to allow small portions of it to be included?

Doesn't dovecot -n show your settings?

Probably rare enough situation so I don't think I'll bother changing the check for now.
