First I'd like to thank all the developers and contributors to dovecot.
I've been using it for many years, and deeply appreciate your fine work. :)
dovecot --version
2.2.22 (fe789d2)
I have a working installation with postfix and dovecot, and I want to
add sieve to it, so I am trying to configure postfix to use lmtp instead
of 'virtual' for its delivery service. However it is ignoring that
request, and for every message I get "status=sent (delivered to
maildir)" and it shows up in my Inbox.
On my mail host I have 1 normal user, let's say the username is
'myuser'. I have postfix configured to accept mail for several different
domains, and each domain has a lot of different mail usernames (I use
this for mailing lists and such). I use the virtual_maps feature of
postfix, and have a map file that looks like this:
ab...@dougbarton.us myuser
hostmas...@dougbarton.us myuser
do...@dougbarton.us myuser
...
All of this works great, and mail for all the different usernames and
domains gets delivered into my one real user's Maildir, and I can see
the mail with my IMAP clients.
I've configured sieve in dovecot, and I can see the socket for lmtp in
/var/spool/postfix/private/. I can also see the managesieve port in
netstat, and I can use a sieve client to connect to it and edit scripts,
etc.
So according to all the tutorials I've read my next step is this in
postfix' main.cf:
virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp
which I did, and postfix restarts with no errors. But, it seems to avoid
lmtp altogether, and as I mentioned above it delivers straight to my
Maildir Inbox every time.
I do have a sieve file, and the ~/dovecot.sieve symlink exists. I
created a very simple filter:
require ["fileinto", "imap4flags"];
if header :contains "Subject" "test"
{
fileinto "Junk";
}
which my sieve client says is correct syntax. Still no joy. :-/
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. (And sorry this is so long, but
based on my extensive searches it seems my configuration is a bit
unique, so I explained it in some length.)
