Sieve Howto

[Kent L. Nasveschuk]

Quick an dirty sieve scripts.

There are many examples on the web but here is just one more.

require ["fileinto","reject"];
        if header :contains "X-Spam-Score" "*****" {
                fileinto "trash";}
        elsif header :contains ["Sender","From"]
                "@wareham.k12.ma.us" {
        fileinto "wpsstuff";}
        elsif header :contains ["To","Cc","From"]
"info-cyrus at lists.andrew.cmu.edu" {
        fileinto "cyrus";}
        elsif header :contains ["To","Cc","From","Reply-To"]
["pgsql-sql at postgresql.org","pgsql-php at postgresql.org"] {
        fileinto "postgresql";}
        elsif header :contains ["To","Cc","From","Reply-To"]
"users at opengroupware.org" {
        fileinto "opengroupware";}
        elsif header :contains ["To","Cc","From"]
"samba-request at lists.samba.org" {
        fileinto "samba";}
        elsif header :contains ["To","Cc","From","Reply-To"]
"openldap-software at openLDAP.org" {
        fileinto "openldap";}
                else {
                fileinto "INBOX";
}

Create a sieve script in some directory. I use the username.sieve.

Start a sieve shell
sieveshell --user=kent --authname=cyrus localhost

>put kent.sieve
>activate kent.sieve
>list
>kent.sieve  <- active script
>quit

That's about it.

These are on a per user basis. I don't how many can be set active at a
time. The filtering works well. There was a lot of talk about global
sieve scripts, one script that takes care of all users. I haven't
reached that point yet.

Hope this helps.
