From the Notes section of my sieve file, because I always forget this

# MORE NOTES: # Using :localpart takes just the local part of an address # header selects a header, address selects an address # Looks like this is the spec: # :localpart = :user+:detail # address are :localpart @ :domain, or :user + :detail @ :domain # See RFC5233

I use this bit for figuring out what :detail something (might) be going to:

 # Check to see if we have detail. . .
 if address :matches :detail "To" "*" {
      # Save name in ${detail} in all lowercase
      # Joe, joe, jOe thus all become 'joe'.
      # Note that we set it to lower, not first-cap
      # because we're going to use this name for a mailbox
      set :lower "detail" "${1}";
      set :lower "user" "${def_user}”;
 }

I don’t know where I got this from, but I am pretty sure it was on this list. :-)

I use it to bucket email based on detail (if no detail, it goes into the address’s default folder, otherwise it goes into the detail folder).

I use recipient_delimiter addresseses quiet a bit, and I want to put several of them into a mailbox

if anyof (header :contains ["to"] [ “FOO", “foo", “bar", “florin"]) { fileinto :create “later"; stop; }

When I get an email addressed to me+FOO@example.com or me_florin@example.com, the messages end up in my inbox (Yes, I have both + and _ defined as delimiters in postfix and in dovecot).

Is this because sieve is not seeing the delimiter? I am wondering this because I have another rule that seems to be working fine that is largely the same, but operates on domains:

if anyof ( header :contains ["From"] [“kreme.com", “localdomain1.tld”, "localdomain2.tld", "localdomain3.tld", “covisp.net” ]){ fileinto :create "priority"; }
