Hi@all! I'm actually fighting to make sieve in dovecot work and made quite a success by now. However, I still fail at the following constellation:

Background: I'm a Mail Admin of a small IT department and we are already using Dovecot as LDA with a filtering server. Any user can easily create filter rules that apply to him (to make it easier for my colleagues we use the Roundcube plugin for rule design). I can formulate global rules that apply to all. Individual users create their rules for redirectiong mails home (a la redirect: copy "users@theirhomes.de";) According to the policy of my company, certain file types (eg avi, mp4, mp3, wav, etc.) must NOT be sent out to the internet. But our phone system does INTERNALLY just that - receiving calls in absence of the user it sends mails with attachments MP3 (the spoken message). These mails must of course not be forwarded outside. I also created a global rule, which supresses the delivery of these mails (using the stop command), But after my global rule follows the user specific rule and the message ist sent anyway.

QUESTION: Can cause dovecot somehow not to follow the user specific rules that apply to a message after going through my global ones? The mail has to remain directly in the inbox (and must not be forwarded by the user specific filter aftwerwards)

My configuration: dovecot.conf (excerpt):

plugin { sieve = /home/%n/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = /home/%n/.mailstore/sieve sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/ sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global }

/etc/dovecot/sieve/global:

require ["vacation","copy","fileinto","body","imap4flags"]; # rule:[Redirect] if anyof(header :contains "From" "f...ing.telefonanlage@firma.intern", header :contains "Subject" "Sprachnachricht") { stop; }

user specific rules are as follows

# rule:[Redirect] if true { redirect :copy "users@theirhomes.de"; }

I hope my English is understandable (got quite a cold andfighting to keep my eyes open so my English is not the best today ;-) ) I'm sure the solution for this problem is a nobvious & simple one but I'm having my blond moments today... Any help would be appreciated! yours Sven

P.S. Klar bin ich mir bewusst, dass einfach die Benutzerfilter aufgebohrt werden könnten. Da aber nicht alle Kollegen... sagen wir entsprechend firm... sind, würde ich den Pflegeaufwand gern gering halten und dieses Ausnehmen vo der weiterleitung zentralisieren.
