Hi,
I have the following configuration:
> cat > /etc/dovecot/conf.d/99-local-sieve.conf << EOF;
> plugin {
> sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve-spam.sieve
> sieve_before2 = /mail/sieve/global_before
> sieve_after = /mail/sieve/global_after
> sieve = /mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve
> sieve_dir = /mail/sieve/%d/%n
> }
> EOF
> cat /etc/dovecot/sieve-spam.sieve
> require ["regex", "fileinto", "imap4flags"];
>
> if allof (header :regex "X-Spam-Status" "^Yes") {
> fileinto "Spam";
> }
(I removed the keyword "stop;" to proceed rule processing, which does
not work)
Now as a user (/mail/sieve/%d/%n.sieve) I want to create my own "Spam" rule:
> require ["regex","reject"];
> # rule:[SPAM]
> if allof (header :regex "x-spam-status" "^Yes")
> {
> reject text:
> This E-Mail is SPAM.
> .
> ;

I activate the traces and see the following if the e-mail is SPAM:
> ## Started executing script 'sieve-spam'
> 3: jump if result is false
> 3: not jumping
> 4: fileinto action
> 4: store message in mailbox `Spam'
> ## Finished executing script 'sieve-spam'
If the e-mail is not SPAM:
> ## Started executing script 'sieve-spam'
> 3: jump if result is false
> 3: jumping to line 4
> ## Finished executing script 'sieve-spam'
>
>
> ## Started executing script 'roundcube'
> 3: jump if result is false
> 3: jumping to line 10
> ## Finished executing script 'roundcube'
So my sieve gets only executed if the e-mail is not SPAM. Thats a bit odd.
Could you explain how the sieve processing work and how I can solve this
problem?
