Well, I'll give you some configuration hints.. 1. don't forget to install sieve (eg. "apt-get install dovecot-sieve")..
2. Add to "postfix/main.cf" the following lines: ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Tell postfix to hand off mail to the definition for dovecot in master.cf virtual_transport = dovecot dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. In "postfix/master.cf": ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Integration with Dovecot - hand mail over to it for local delivery, and # run the process under the vmail user and mail group. dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d $(recipient) ---8<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. add "$mail_plugins sieve" to "dovecot/conf.d/15-lda.conf" That’s all! Then just provide the sieve scripts at location specified in "dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf" and you are done! Good luck!
