Hello Dovecot users,
Now that Dovecot v2.1.0 is out there, I release Pigeonhole v0.3.0. The
most significant new features are support for the Sieve editheader
extension and the sieve-filter tool. I haven't received much feedback on
these new features, which can either mean that they are mostly bug-free
or that not many people have tried these, so these are still considered
experimental.
Changelog v0.3.0:
* Renamed sieve_global_path setting to sieve_default for clarity. Old
name is still recognized for backwards compatibility. Support for
the ancient (pre v1.1) name for this setting "global_script_path" is
now dropped.
* Added means to prohibit use of redirect action. Setting
sieve_max_redirects to 0 now means that redirect is disallowed in
stead of unlimited. Default value remains four.
* Fixed interaction of Sieve include extension with ManageSieve. It is
updated to match new requirements in the draft include
specification. Missing included scripts are no longer an error at
upload time.
* Updated RFC2822 header field body verification to exclude
non-printing characters (RFC5322). Only Sieve actions that can
create unstructured header values (currently enotify/mailto and
editheader) are affected by this change.
+ Completed sieve-filter tool to a useful state. The sieve-filter tool
provides a means to (re)filter messages in a mailbox through a Sieve
script.
+ Implemented the Sieve editheader extension. It is now possible to
add and remove message headers from within Sieve.
+ ManageSieve: added support for reading quoted and literal strings as
a stream. Fixes support for handing large SASL responses (analogous
to similar changes in Dovecot). It is now also allowed to use a
quoted string for the PUTSCRIPT script argument.
+ Added code to cleanup tmp directory in Sieve storage directory
(sieve_dir) every once in a while.
+ Added support for substituting the entire message during Sieve
processing. This is used for the filter action provided by the new
sieve_extprograms plugin (provided separately for now). The filter
action allows passing the message through an external program.
+ Added support for restricting certain Sieve language extensions to
(admin-controled) global scripts. Restricted extensions can be
configured using the new sieve_global_extensions setting. This is
particularly useful for some of the Dovecot-specific (plugin-based)
Sieve extensions, that can be somewhat hazardous when under direct
control of users (e.g. sieve_extprograms).
The release is available as follows:

to notify me when there are any problems.
