speaking of sieve scripts... how to selectively not send vacation autoreply
Don't need to block anyone like in the "Re: Dovecot Oy merger with Open-Xchange AG" thread, but when I have my vacation recipie active, I'd like it to NOT reply to certain addresses.
I tried the following, you can see the section with
if header :contains "addressIdontwant@repliedtoo.tld"is commented out, once I'd added that section, no Vacation messages went out at all. Googling and reading the wiki and recipie suggestions doesn't make it clear how to exempt a list of addresses from ever receiving a vacation response. Suggestions on additional reading or solutions?
require ["fileinto", "vacation"];
if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "Subject" "**SPAM**" {
fileinto "Trash";
stop;
}
#if header :contains "addressIdontwant@repliedtoo.tld" {
# stop;
#}
vacation
# Reply at most once a day to a same sender
:days 1
:subject "Changes to email addresses effective Jan 01/15"
# 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 ["user@repliedtoo.tld"]This is on a Dovecot 1.x system that is slated for an upgrade soon.

The commented out condition in the rule you posted seems syntactically wrong to me (not sure, never used Dovecot 1.x so can't rule out the possibility it's valid there.) Also I think you can find answer to your question in one of RH's posts in the thread you mentioned.

You should really inspect your log files or test the scripts with the sieve-test command line tool. There is a syntax error in the part you commented out:
error: the header test requires 2 positional argument(s), but 1 is/are specified.
At delivery, this means that the script is not executed at all and the message is just filed into INBOX.
Regards,
Stephan.

I wasn't even aware of the sieve-test command, that'll really come in handy, thanks for that tip
I believe I based my entry on the
if header :contains "X-Spam-Level" "**********" {
discard;
stop;
}here and until you mentioned it, I did not realize the *'s were a second argument, I'd assumed it as part and parcel of the same argument.

I'll try the recipie RH posted
if address :is ["From", "Sender"] ["h.reindl@thelounge.net",
"nick.z.edwards@gmail.com"]
{
discard;
}modified as below
if address :is ["From", "Sender"] ["addressIdontwant@repliedtoo.tld", "otheraddressIdontwant@repliedtoo.tld"] { stop; }
