Dovecot/Sieve shortcuts?

[Adam Shostack]

This took about 30 minutes of debugging so I figured I'd share.

The list-id block was giving me false positives, so I
changed a keep to a fileinto :create, as shown below.  

Adam

# Mailman & other lists using list-id
elsif exists "list-id" {
    if header :regex "list-id" "<([a-z_0-9-]+)[.@]" {
        set :lower "listname" "${1}";
        fileinto :create "${listname}";
    } else {
        if header :regex "list-id" "^\\s*<?([a-z_0-9-]+)[.@]" {
            set :lower "listname" "${1}";
	  fileinto :create "${listname}"; stop;
        } else {
	# keep;
	fileinto :create "bulk"; stop;


	}
    }
    stop;}

| | I can't remember where I got the original algorithm (and, in particular,
| | the ordering) from, but I've been using the attached sieve script for a
| | while with numerous mailinglists. It uses the 'regex' module to parse
| | the mailing-list name from the headers (with various attempts to handle
| | most of the major mailing-list applications). The listname is
| | lower-cased (for consistency) and the message is filed into that folder (creating the folder if necessary). This means that, when I sign up for a new mailing-list, messages just start appearing in their own folder.
