sieve does not seem to be working

[chaouche yacine]

Hello Robert,

You said that the script worked when you ran it with sieve-test, proabably as root user, but not when you sent an e-mail with sendmail, which I guess would run it as the dovecot user (probably vmail as you said you changed the ownership of the e-mail to vmail:mail ?)


You forgot to show us the file permissions on the script and the folder containing it. A namei -l on the whole path can show if dovecot can reach it.

Example : 


root at messagerie-secours[10.10.10.20] ~ # namei -l /var/vmail/mailfilters/spam.svbin 
f: /var/vmail/mailfilters/spam.svbin
drwxr-xr-x root  root  /
drwxr-xr-x root  root  var
drwxr-xr-x vmail vmail vmail
drwxr-xr-x root  root  mailfilters
-rw-r--r-- vmail vmail spam.svbin
root at messagerie-secours[10.10.10.20] ~ #
