Sieve is per user, so you cannot write the logs to /var/log/ And it does not matter if you are running global script, as I learned recently, the logs are written per user no matter what. -- <[TN]FBMachine> I got kicked out of Barnes and Noble once for moving all the bibles into the fiction section

I’m only using global sieve scripts, but that’s a good point.
Thanks!

Sieve RFCs. At least this is what I have used to learn sieve. Each
extension to basic language needs a specific keyword in require statement.
List of supported extensions with links to RFCs is on the wiki:

plugin {
sieve_user_log =
}
It's per-user and written with logged-in user rights, so you probably
wan't be able to put it in /var/log unless you use some clever permissions
setup, depending on how you run imap processes. I don't know if it
supports %u expansion or something.

Re: Sieve fileinto :create is failing
I think I figured out what happened. I think I edited the .sieve file but forgot to save it, so I was actually running an old version that did not have “mailbox” in the require statement. On which note, two more questions: 1. Is there any documentation about what “requires” are needed to access various features? The only source I’ve found for this is reverse-engineering examples. 2. Is there a way to change the location of the sieve logfile that gets created when a sieve script produces an error? Right now it ends up in the same directory as the script, but I’d prefer to have in /var/log along with everything else. rg On Jan 19, 2021, at 11:02 PM, Aki Tuomi wrote: > >> On 20/01/2021 08:46 Ron Garret wrote: >> >> >> On Jan 19, 2021, at 10:40 PM, Aki Tuomi wrote: >> >>> On 19/01/2021 19:45 Ron Garret wrote: I’m trying to get a sieve script to move messages into a folder, and to create that folder if it doesn’t already exist.

The quotes I have (and the ones I see in your quoted message) are regular ascii double quotes, code point 0x22. But I think it is actually working now. I didn’t change anything, it just seems to have spontaneously started working. Maybe sieve was working off an earlier version of the script that it had cached? rg

I tested this with 2.3.13 and it worked just fine. Are those quotes mangled by your mailer or do you really have some fancy quotes in your sieve script? Aki
