Blindly following things you find on the Internet is not a path to
success. :)
I am writing my own howto, and I would like to think I am doing a better
job of it.
You may consider whether your own depth of understanding is sufficient
to improve the situation, or whether you are simply adding more noise. I
wish you luck in any case.
Not completely. I 'program' in English writing standards like IEEE
802.1AR, 802.15.9, and RFCs. I have not really programmed since the
mid-80s with 'B'.
I leave the converting of our carefully worded standards to executables
to others.... :)
We all have our own areas of expertise. Nothing wrong with that.
That said, is this what you are advising:
Not precisely. You want to remove the 'else' in there, as the clause you
have will do the opposite of what you intend. Also note that I removed
your superfluous square brackets.
require "fileinto";
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
fileinto "Spam";
}
if header :contains "subject" "***SPAM***" {
fileinto "Spam";
}
The best way to work with this is to start with simple rules on an
individual client. Once you get a rule set that works, then you can move
on to compiling it for the system. Always start as simple as possible
though, and only add to it if your simple thing does not work.
This is a pretty good tutorial on the syntax and options for Sieve.
Given your intended purpose you should pay special attention to the
'create' modifier for 'fileinto'. Also, I would accomplish both things
in the same rule using 'anyof' which should be slightly more efficient
(which could make a big difference to server load depending on how many
users you are supporting).
