Hello everyone.
I have dovecot version 1.2.8 installed from source. This morning I
installed the sieve plugin to sort emails, and though the install
reported no errors, the plugin doesn't seem to function, and no mention
of it is made in the logs when I turn on verbose logging.
with version 1.2.x I always found cmusieve to behave nicer.
Though, if you are installing from source, why the hell are you using
something so old?
1.2.17 is the latest in the now unsupported 1.2 series, but if you are
building from source, try 2.1.16 and dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.5,
I've only recently (months ago) moved to 2.1 from 1.2, and it appears
smoother, and lot of niggly things like hung *-login processes on busy
servers have gone away, without bench testing, I'd even say its more
resource friendly (at least in NFS (without director) configurations)
Are you sure your sieve scripts are valid? do they get compiled?
I believe in the past there was some issues with newer dovecot when
using qmail and vpopmail, but it has been years since I tried it. I'll
compile the source this morning and see if I can get deliveries to
work without sieve, then I'll proceed with the pigeonhole install.
My sieve script passed the test on
http://libsieve-php.sourceforge.net/ , they are not complicated
scripts at all, literally if sender is A, move to subfolder A of
inbox. It was just for testing. The reason I assumed there was a
problem was the complete lack of logging. Also when I moved the
default sieve script:
sieve_global_path: /usr/local/etc/default.sieve
and the user script:
sieve: /home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/sieve
there was no logging that indicated sieve couldn't run because of a
lack of any sieve scripts. That plus the single sorting rule not
working quickly made me think sieve simply didn't install or work.
Thank you for the help, I'll post back with the success/failure of a
more recent version.
Thank you for the solid suggestion, Noel! I now have Dovecot 2.2.1 along
with Pigeonhole 0.4.0. All is working well at present. The largest
issues I encountered was getting the configuration changed and
functional from my previous 1.2.8 to 2.0. Once that was accomplished
things more or less proceeded well. Managesieve works wonderfully, can
dovecot creates the .sieve directory and its subdirectory .sieve/tmp
correctly, the thunderbird plugin for sieve is able to connect and
everything works, compilation happens automatically and the sieve
scripts are functional.
I use John Simpson's Qmail patch/setup on the server, I wasn't able to
find a current dovecot config that worked with vpopmail without mysql.
Here is my current config which works for me in this setup:
root@hostname:/home/jim# doveconf -n
