[Dovecot] [SOLVED] Errors in log file

[Christian Rößner]

Hi,

Of course. This script is a python script that generates the bash script. It assumes that the maildir is directly und a users home and that also the sieve folder lives inside the maildir. But the script is very simple, so you can adopt it to your needs:

Second, it looks for a sieve script called default.sieve, which I told roundcube to use as a name. So maybe you need to adjust this as well.

The result looks something like:

------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash

P=/srv/mail/virtual

umask 077

?

mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr ${P}/deltaweb.de/__maildir__cr__
mkdir ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr
chown vmail:mail ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/__maildir__cr__ ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir
mkdir ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve
chown vmail:mail ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve
if [[ -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve/default.sieve ]]; then
        mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve/default.sieve ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve/
        test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.svbin && \
                mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.svbin ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/

        test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve.log && \
                mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve.log ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/
        ( cd ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr; ln -s sieve/default.sieve .dovecot.sieve )
        rm -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve
fi
rm -rf ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve

?

exit 0

It is not perfect, but for our server it did the trick ;-) So enjoy?
