Hi
If a sieve filter contains a rule

The mail should be copied to the folder ac and then proceed to other
rules that a user might have or I understood the
fileinto
wrong?
Using dovecot-pigeonhole-2.2.36-8.el7.x86_64
I use it like this, and it works for me:
if address :is "From" "sender@domain" {
fileinto :create "some_mail_folder";
stop;
}
Almost 20 years ago, I figured out that I *need* the "stop;" line, but
I don't remember why.
The stop; is needed to prevent further script actions on the email and
that is a very curious thing that I dont know if falls in the "bug or
feature" field.
if I use
if header :regex ["From"] ["@xxx.com","@yyy.pt"] {
fileinto :create "ac";
keep;
}
It delivers the mail in my Inbox which was my intention in the first place.
When I used the filter without the keep; and since I didn't had the
stop; I was expecting further actions on that email that will lead to
the email end up in the Inbox and that didn't happened.
So it apears that the fileinto rule have a stop; into it without the
stop being declared.
In a complex mail management scenario that can cause problems. So my
question is, "bug or feature"?
