Re: sieve filter not working

Another question: Local mail delivery of received mail from external sources does indeed work?
Yes.
That is good.
If so, was that log excerpt in one of the former mails an example of such delivery?
There are dovecot messages in "/var/log/maillog" showing only imap-login & disconnected. When I monitor "/var/log/maillog" while sending spam, there are no messages containing 'dovecot'. I attached that output to a previous post. It has only messages from postfix and amavis.
Ther should be messages from dovecot when receiving mail at least when dovecot lda has something to do with delivery.
home_mailbox = Maildir/ This tells postfix where to deliver the mails. dovecot is not configured to delivet mails.
Take a look at dovecot wiki there are examples of how to incorporate dovecot lda into thendelivery process.
I believe dovecot has actually nothing to do with delivering your mails so no sieve filters are applied...
Is it postfix?
yes, seems so
Thanks, -Mike

OK, thanks.
Now I ask, am I better off enabling dovecot lda with the sieve spam filter, or using postfix for filter?

Hello,
I'd use Dovecot Lda for delivery if you want to use sieve.

I'd definitly go for dovecot lda, that way you can use sieve to filter your mails.
I am using lmtp from postfix to dovecot following the directions in: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/HowTo/PostfixDovecotLMTP
The howto's linked to from the dovecot wiki contain much valuable information and helped me allot in configuring dovecot/postfix.
It depends on your distribution if postfix is chrooted or not and what path to the dovecot lmtp socket needs to be configured. In the wiki the postfix 'mailbox_transport' configuration is for a chrooted postfix instance as for example seen on Debian.
