[opensuse] Managesieve setup
Hi, I have a mail server running Postfix and Courier. I would like to sort mail on the mail-server and give virtual users a way to arrange the sort. I read about Managesieve (http://sieve.info) but I can't figure out how to integrate e.g. pysieved in my setup. Is there anyone doing this and willing to share the knowledge ? Googling I found info about postfix and dovecot with pysieved. Maybe I should switch to that ? I'm going to migrate the server to new hardware so it's an option. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong

The Courier IMAP Server does not support sieve filtering. So you would need to switch to an IMAP implementation that does support sieve. cyrus-imapd or dovecot seem to be the systems of choice here.

Hi Ralph, Thanks for your answer. I thought postfix talked to pysieved which then handled the mails. I'll see what I need to do to migrate to dovecot. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong

No, Ralph is correct, Sieve is a function of the Mail Delivery Agent, not the Mail Transfer Agent. Sieve acts on mail handed to the user's inbox. Managesieve may work with some versions of Cyrus, and some versions of Kmail know how to deal with sieve scripts. Server Side mail sorting is a far better solution than having this done in every client, especially since IMAP's whole raison d'etre is for access to the same mailbox from multiple clients. Cyrus is what I use on our mail servers, and it is nice because it handles everything, imap, imap-secure, pop, pop-secure, and seive and seems fairly bullet proof. The version I am using is older and client side management of sieve scripts is spotty at best. I've been meaning to upgrade. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Dovecot also handles all this in addition to managesieve and it is nearly trivial to integrate into any MTA because it provides a dovecot-deliver binary. I've had individual dovecot-imap processes crash, but it hasn't affected the availability of the service. I think both Cyrus and Dovecot had recent DSAs, but neither has a disturbing record of insecurities. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
