sieve - flags : delivery failure

Thu Apr 3 04:56:10 EST 2003

First of all, thanks for the attention and sorry for the lack of
informations...
I will try my best now to provide relevant data...

    UPDATE WHILE WRITING (and testing)
    Messages GETS delivered and correctly flagged, but deliver
    returns a temporary fail, so that at the first try:
     postfix enqueues the message
    and later tries:
     deliver says message is a duplicate,
     postfix enqueues the message again
     and so on...

The point is: there's some error at some point of the mail delivery process
if sieve is due to use imapflags

Sieve is installed properly (I guess) and supports imapflags
    "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.1.12"
    "SASL" "PLAIN"
    "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress
relational regex"

runng test program (which I learned the existence of now...) returns the
following:
    filing message 'mail' into 'INBOX.spam'
            with flags '\deleted'
    fatal error: Virtual memory exhausted

trying ulimit -d unlimited did not help

the sieve script looks like that:
    require ["imapflags", "fileinto"];

    # New Rule
        if header :comparator "i;ascii-casemap" :contains "X-Spam-Status"
"Yes"  {
        addflag "\\Deleted";
        fileinto "INBOX.spam";
        removeflag "\\Deleted";
        stop;
    }

While the message contains X-Spam-Status: Yes

************
software versions:
cyrus-imap-2.1.12
cyrus-sasl-2.1.5 + ldap/mysql patch
postfix 2.0.7 + mysql support
amavisd-new
************
software configurations:
/etc/imapd.conf
 configdirectory: /var/imap
 partition-default: /usr/data/spool/imap

 srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab
 allowanonymouslogin: no
 pwcheck_method: auxprop
 tls_cert_file: /var/imap/server.pem
 tls_key_file: /var/imap/server.pem

/etc/cyrus.conf is a copy of prefork.conf

/etc/postfix/master.cf
 cyrus     unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
   flags= user=cyrus argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver -r ${sender} -m
${extension} ${user}

/etc/postfix/main.cf
 mailbox_transport = cyrus

btw: haven't been able to use other LDA methods...
maybe we'll talk about that later...

************
note:
 amavisd+postfix
 amavisd is configured to run a smtp style forwarding of
 the message, via localhost 10025, where postfix listens without
content_filter

 amavisd itself works fine with postfix
 I spent 5 hours debugging it, while I thought the problem was somewhere
there...

************
Now the log...
it's a *.* log of an incoming mail from: test at hotmail.com to:
manu at cappelleri.net (which is user manu)
mail gets parsed by amavisd, headers (X-Spam-Status: Yes) is added,
message gets back to postfix which attempts first deliver
gets a temporary fail, and enqueues the message

for better reading amavisd related stuff was suppressed...

here's the problem

id=00553-05, from MTA: 250 Ok: queued as 6B2917C50)
master[944]: process 1380 exited, status 0

message is now DELIVERED, but postfix thinks not and
it keeps it in queue...

TIA guys :)
any hint appreciated

Manuele.
