Thread: managesieve not filtering

Nobody ? JohnDoh ?

well it sounds like a dovecot/sieve problem not an RC one. you say the rules are processed do you mean stuff from facebook goes into your facebook folder? your script doesnt make sense to me one folder has the INBOX. at the start and the other doesnt i would ahve thought they should have been the same. have you looked in your dovecot logs to see if there are any errors processing the file?

Hi raiden,

did you take a look at your logfiles? My own script filtering spam just looks the same as yours, but it works the way intended with our installation of cyrus-imap.
cyrus generates these kind of log entries, maybe dovecot does have some similiar feature to track down the problem:

Code:

Feb 18 07:01:41 mailserverXY cyrus/lmtp[25865]: Delivered: <32071_1266472901_4B7CD7C4_32071_1095519_1_DZLOEPFHSVPJZETBFSYC@msa.hinet.net> to mailbox: user.username.Trash

How does this actually work ? I have Postfix delivering mails into the Maildir, and that works fine. How does the sieve-filtering actually work ?

I don't see any weird errors in dovecot. And if I connect to the managesieve-port, I get a good response.

When I said, it was processing the scripts, I was assuming the RC and the managesieve-parts were working cause the scripts writtein RC, where stored on the server via managesieve.

Maybe if I understand how it works, than I might be able to troubleshoot better. Furthermore, INBOX.Trash is just another folder in the Maildir.

Grtz, and thnx for the responses

The sieve plugins for RC are just sieve clients there is no filtering done in RC, you must setup your server to read the sieve files and perform the filtering when it delivers the mail.

Hey John,

Sorry for the n00b questions. So if I understand correctly, mypostfix needs to read the sieverules, and deliver it to the right dir. Managesieve by itself is a manner to manage te sieverules (as the name says )

Thanks

well it depends on your setup if postfix actually delivers your email then that will need to read the sieve files, if it gives it to dovecot to deliver then dovecot will need to read the files.

I'm with you on this one.
I have squirrelmail with avelsieve running on the same system.
That seems to be working OK.

So sieve is doing fine.

But managesieve filters from RC are not applied.
They are getting written but nothing seems to happen…

Let me know what I can supply to resolve this issue.

I have a global rule for spam. I done it on the server console and it's working correctly:

require ["fileinto"];
# Move spam to spam folder
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" ["YES"] {
fileinto "SPAM";
stop;
}

But I have similar problem with managesieve plugin . I can create modify the rules but that doesn't work.

require ["fileinto"];
# rule:[Test_rule]
if anyof (header :contains "Subject" "Apple")
{
fileinto "INBOX.Test";
}

It doesn't work. If I modify it manualy (with mcedit): "fileinto "INBOX.Test"; " ----> "fileinto "Test"; " It start to work.
So it looks like the "INBOX" at the begin cause the problem.

Can anybody help me?
