[Dovecot] Sieve plugin - install help - filters ignored
Hello,
My setup consists of the following:
- Freebsd 6.2 system with software installed from ports tree:
- Postfix 2.3.8,1
- postfixadmin 2.1.0_7
- mysql 5.0.33
- dovecot-1.0.r25
- dovecot-sieve 1.0.1
- clamav 0.90_3
- SpamAssassin 3.1.8_1
- amavisd-new 2.4.5_1,1
My mail setup is a virtual user setup with all users/domains sharing same UID:GID. Postfix and dovecot get their User information from mysql tables that are administered with postfixadmin.
Mail is filtered through clamav and spamassassin using amavisd-new setup as a content filter.
All users mail is delivered such as their maildir is /usr/local/vmail/%d/%u using dovecot's lda 'deliver' agent.
The system is working fine as configured.. Mail goes where it is supposed to.
Trying to get sieve support and unable to get this going. First step is simulating home directories.
From dovecot-mysql.conf ... changed user_query to user_query = SELECT maildir, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, @home := maildir AS home FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u'
Added the following to a users maildir: .dovecot.sieve
require "fileinto";
fileinto "test";
Restart all daemons..
Mail still delivers to inbox. Nothing appears in /var/log/maillog or /usr/local/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log that shows anything but the message being delivered to the inbox.
HELP!
Brent.

You didn't mention if you added: "mail_plugins = cmusieve" inside protocol lda?
Also mail_debug=yes can be helpful in figuring out what goes wrong.

I'm a casual reader on this list. I didn't know what Sieve is so I found http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve.
I have linuxconf's vdeliver LDA habd off to procmail and then it does all kinds of recipies.
I take it that Sieve is a way to script in logic right before the "deliver" agent write the message. It mirrors what procmail can do to some extent? Kind of?

mail_plugins = cmusieve was in my config file..
I added mail_debug=yes and found the problem. My sql query was setting the users Home incorrectly.
I changed: user_query = SELECT maildir, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, @home := maildir AS home FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' To: user_query = SELECT maildir, 5000 AS uid, 5000 AS gid, CONCAT('/usr/local/vmail/', @home := maildir) AS home FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u'
And the plugin loads and the mail is filtered!!
One problem with the CONCAT method is that there is an extra '/' in the users home path. However, the filter still works As expected. Should I be concerned?

I think that's because your maildir contains a '/' at the end. That's not needed, so removing it would fix it. It doesn't anyway break anything.

Hi @ll this maybe off topic but i have integrated a python sieve server in my postfix(admin),dovecot,sql,lda setup and it works with avelsieve plugin sqirrelmail(latest) vor virtual users. on opensuse 10.2, it currently only does not create folders on the fly with sieve rules , but this is related to avelsieve, but filtering vacation,forward works. Neale anounced it a few weeks ago, for local users, but we tested hard, and Neale coded fine to make it work with virtual users, after all he didnt anounced this back to the list, so perhaps anyone might give it a try too, but i would not recommend to include it on production system without testing it before heres the link
