That's mean global script will not run if there is user script. Am I right? Any way to enforce gloabl script even there is a user script?

Regards, Steve

What is the order of execution if both user and global sieve script exists?

There was some discussion about it, what the order _should_ be. As far as I know:

if exists user Sieve script then run user Sieve script elif exists global Sieve script then run global Sieve script fi

I have 2 ideas.

1. 3 global scripts, 1 execute before user script, 1 execute after user script, 1 execute only if there is no user script.

2. Call global script from user script or call user script from global script.

Not that I know of. I would patch the cmusieve plugin so that:

a) it reads both scripts* in the order you like AND b) drop the results (compiled script or errors) into the homedirectory of the user.

Referring to http://wiki.fastmail.fm/wiki/index.php/SieveExtensionsSupportMatrix , there is already a include sieve extensive and it is already implemented by cmu cyrus ==>2.3<==

The rfc draft is here ===> http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sieve-notify-mailto-02.txt

Hope this useful.

Maybe, one could expand Sieve to have some sort of "include" statement. It could work.

However, there are at least two other Sieve implementations, too, there had been some suggestions to look into them, but nobody jump into til now.

Dear Mark,

Yes, you're right. I posted the wrong link.

I do not know much about rfc system. What does it mean by expired?

That would be a mailto notify draft :)

The last include draft was:

draft-daboo-sieve-include-05.txt

but has expired. For reference you can find it here:

Speaking as the author of one of them, maybe, depending on whether mine was one of the two you refer to, I can say how my implementation handles it.

This is only quasi-on-topic, hit 'd' if you don't care; I hesitated quite a while before responding since I've rambled on about it here before, but in the end wasn't able to resist, as you can see.

mvmda, which is the beast I refer to, is intended to be both system-admin-friendly and expert-user-friendly. Having both those things at once is hard to arrange. One of the ways it tries to do this is to defer a lot of its control flow and logic to a site-wide script, which the system administrator must install and tweak (well, you can get by without one, but that would be another tangent). This would be the global script. The global script executes in an "admin" mode in which all permissions are enabled, meaning that the global script can pretty much do what it wants. A typical script ("typical" because I'm using one like this and because one like it comes with the distribution) would do something like:

• define namespaces and mailstore locations, probably tailored to the specific user being delivered to;

• interpret any command line arguments as if they were script file names, and attempt to run them (e.g. from the user's homedir or base dir), each in turn, with admin mode turned off;

• if no scripts are found, attempt to run one with a standard name (e.g. "filter.mfl" or "filter.sieve" -- so no script need be named on the command line);

• if still no scripts have been found, attempt to run a system-wide one (the name could be derived from the username or the user's group name or any other variable information, to provide for classes of global scripts).

Since control always returns to the site-wide script, there can also be common post-user-script actions taken.

The scripting language is an mixture of Sieve and C-like constructs. User-level scripts need not use anything other than Sieve, but the system-wide script pretty much has to use non-Sieve elements (and advanced script writers can as well).

http://www.mvmf.org/

I'm actively using it in dovecot environments as well as in UW environments, and in qmail as well as sendmail environments- it adapts well. One downside is indeed the requirement for a system-wide script and potentially other system-wide stuff, as that presents a steeper install/learning curve than you might expect from a delivery agent. On the upside, you can get a lot of consistency at the user script level, and you also get a nice qmail-smtpd replacement :)
