Hello,
we're scouting if it's possible to use Pigeonhole (currently v0.3.1,
as this will be provided with an upcoming Debian package) with MySQL
dict lookups with the mail setup we're designing.
Our (main) goals are:
1. store the filters on the database
That is possible with some limitations.
Are the ones below the only limitatios (ie one script per user) or are
there any other worth knowing?
You cannot currently use ManageSieve when the active script is located
in a dict database.
And 'one script per user' is not an fully accurate description. It is
technically possible to access multiple different scripts from the dict
database. It is however not possible to use dict support combination
with multiscript support (
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration#Executing_Multiple_Scripts_Sequentially)
to execute multiple scripts in a sequence. Multiscript currently only
works for Sieve scripts that are located in the filesystem.
In our situation, what would you suggest? We're now thinking of
keeping the scripts list on a separate table, and merge the "user
selected ones" in a single script to write in the filters table. Is
that what would you suggest? Is there a better solution?
You can use the include extension
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sieve-include-05) to access
scripts in a dict database from a main active script to combine them. I
believe you could even dynamically construct that main script in SQL
using some string manipulation in the query, but that is a bit ugly.
Could you send me an overview of your configuration, including your
database layout? Provided that I have some time in the next week, I
could investigate building a simple working configuration for the sake
of example.
Regards,
Stephan.
