Dovecot/Sieve usage information needed

    Hi


    I installed a brand new server with M-ISCP (1.0.3.0) and it's working great so far.


    So as we have Dovecot out of the box, how can I use Sieve exactly?


    I tried this link (http://wiki.i-mscp.net/doku.ph…vecot_plus_database_quota) and it's said one should check the global file /etc/dovecot/sieve/dovecot.sieve. But on my system it's not there.


    So the questions would be,
    - is Sieve already activated or how can I activate it?
    - where should the Sieve scripts for the mailusers be placed?
    - could we have a Sieve client in Squirrelmail (nice to have)?

    You're right, It's not created by deafault, I'll try to fix this, meanwhile the default sieve file should have this config.

    Code
    1. require "fileinto";
    2. if exists "X-Spam-Flag" {
    3. if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
    4. fileinto "INBOX.Junk";
    5. stop;
    6. }
    7. }


    So the questions would be,

    Yes, it's activated but at the moment there's no default config, it should be fixed..

    In their homes (%h variable) with a file called .dovecot.sieve

    Squirrelmail will be dropped on a future version and replaced with roundcube, so the solution should be searched as a roundcube plugin.


    NOTE: I'll try to fix the dovecot document asap
    NOTE2: There are some improvements in dovecot on a branch here

    I thank you very much for this great answer.


    I also found out that I can access ManageSieve using port 2000. It's working fine with the Thunderbird Plugin.


    Thanks a lot!
