Well, I do redirect mail to admin accounts. However, I use SuSE 11 as a base system. And there it is a default to also deliver root mail to the root account, default aliases looks like this: root: tobi, \root I was not aware, that root should not be allowed to recieve mail at all and by removing the '\root' from /etc/aliases, deliver is working as expected.

Hello Julian, by removing the "Seen" flag, you mark the message as read. New mails arrives with the "Seen" flag set - thus your command <> is useless. Check out RFC 3501 for the meaning of the different flags. Tobi

This rule will fail, when there is no HeaderEntry called "Organization".
You should try "From" instead, this HeaderEntry should always be there
to test against.

[Dovecot] Using Dovecot deliver with Postfix
Hello,
while installing Dovecot sieve, I am not able to deliver email for root. The
strange thing is,
that mails to ordinary users get delivered. And no, I do not use virtual mail,
just ordinary
unix accounts with an entry to passwd / shadow.
Also before switching from Postfix deliver to Dovecot deliver, everything
worked fine.
Current versions for dovecot and postfix are:
dovecot-1.2.8
postfix-2.6.5
Anybody an idea, where I misconfigured something?
Thanks in advance
Tobi

I am using Dovecot 1.2.9 "dovecot-1.2-sieve-0.1.14" and discarding email seems to work fine. The things I can think of are: 1) Wrong privileges for deleting. What user does procmail / deliver run as? 2) Old Bug in Sieve (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-July/024290.html) 3) If it fails just sometimes, what is the difference between discarded and nondiscarded mails. If this does not turn up something, I do not have an idea what is going wrong. Only bugfix I then can you provide with, is not to discard but to move those files to a folder 'SPAM' and delete them by hand. Tobi

Moreover I find it curious that, procmail tries to write to dovecot/deliver. This should be a binary file and no writing should occur to it. What does your .procmailrc look like? Tobi

Hey Steve,
as you can not provide some error messages, it is quite hard to help you with
your problem. However, I would guess that there is something wrong with your
sieve rules - based on the information, that most mails get filtered correctly.
Try analyzing the mails causing errors separately with e.g.:
http://www.fastmail.fm/docs/sieve/sievetest.php
Maybe you can isolate the error there.

This rule will fail, when there is no HeaderEntry called "Organization".
You should try "From" instead, this HeaderEntry should always be there
to test against.
