how to configure imapsieve to be used per user

Fri Oct 28 06:13:18 UTC 2022

Okay, I could have enabled debug log earlier, than that would have been 
easy... Thanks for the hint.

The key is to specify the sieve script inside the sieve directory 
without the .sieve suffix, i.e.:

a SETMETADATA test (/shared/imapsieve/script "imap")

which points to sieve/imap.sieve in the user's homedir.

Now it loads the script:

Debug: Mailbox test: Mailbox opened because: UID move
Debug: imapsieve: mailbox test: MOVE event
Debug: imapsieve: mailbox test: Mailbox attribute 
/shared/imapsieve/script points to Sieve script `imap'
Debug: sieve: file script: Opened script `imap' from 
`/srv/vmail/username/sieve/imap.sieve'
Debug: sieve: Opening script 1 of 1 from 
`/srv/vmail/username/sieve/imap.sieve'
Debug: sieve: Loading script /srv/vmail/username/sieve/imap.sieve
Debug: sieve: Script `imap' from /srv/vmail/username/sieve/imap.sieve 
successfully compiled
Debug: sieve: Executing script from `/srv/vmail/username/sieve/imap.sieve'
