Hi All, I cannot get the sieve_before to work. I have dovecot & sieve
installed on Debian 7 as follows /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf : plugin {

The path to the user's main active script. If ManageSieve is used, this the

location of the symbolic link controlled by ManageSieve.

sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve

The default Sieve script when the user has none. This is a path to a global

sieve script file, which gets executed ONLY if user's private Sieve script

doesn't exist. Be sure to pre-compile this script manually using the sievec

command line tool.

--> See sieve_before fore executing scripts before the user's personal

script.

sieve_default = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve

Directory for :personal include scripts for the include extension. This

is also where the ManageSieve service stores the user's scripts.

sieve_dir = ~/sieve/

Directory for :global include scripts for the include extension.

sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/

Path to a script file or a directory containing script files that

need to be

executed before the user's script. If the path points to a directory, all

the Sieve scripts contained therein (with the proper .sieve extension) are

executed. The order of execution within a directory is determined by the

file names, using a normal 8bit per-character comparison. Multiple script

file or directory paths can be specified by appending an increasing number.

sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before #####sieve_before2 = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before/default2.sieve #sieve_before3 = (etc...)

Identical to sieve_before, only the specified scripts are executed

after the

user's script (only when keep is still in effect!). Multiple script file or

directory paths can be specified by appending an increasing number.

#sieve_after = #sieve_after2 = #sieve_after2 = (etc...)

Which Sieve language extensions are available to users. By default, all

supported extensions are available, except for deprecated extensions or

those that are still under development. Some system administrators may want

to disable certain Sieve extensions or enable those that are not available

by default. This setting can use '+' and '-' to specify

differences relative

to the default. For example `sieve_extensions = +imapflags' will enable the

deprecated imapflags extension in addition to all extensions were already

enabled by default.

#sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags ................................. In /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before I have : drwxrwxrwx 3 mail mail 4096 Mar 20 23:47 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 195 Mar 21 09:57 default2.svbin -rwxrwxrwx 1 mail mail 157 Mar 21 11:12 default2.sieve default2.sieve is as follows: require ["fileinto"]; if allof (header :matches "subject" "*JUNK*") { fileinto "INBOX.Junk"; } The users personal filters work. Thanks for your help.
