Re: Sieve fileinto copies messages instead of moving them

[Dauser Martin Johannes via dovecot]

Micheal, just for your information: "stop;" stops the whole script at
this very line, which means no other rule will be applied on this
message anymore. Most of the time this is desired. Otherwise "elsif"
(and "else" as a catch-all) is your friend.  

require ["fileinto"];

# rule:[check if either SPAM or SPAMSPAM]
if header :contains "subject" "SPAMSPAM"
{
fileinto "SPAM";
}
elsif header :contains "subject" "SPAM"
{
fileinto "MaybeSPAM";
}

# rule:[something else needs to be done with message]
if blah
{
action;
}

You are missing a stop after the fileinto. Otherwise it will not stop, but
rather processing the next rule as well.

Change it to:

require ["fileinto"];
# rule:[SPAM]
if header :contains "subject" "SPAMSPAM"
{
fileinto "SPAM";
stop;
}
# rule:[SPAMSPAM]
if header :contains "subject" "SPAM"
{
fileinto "MaybeSPAM";
stop;
}

Cheers,
  K. C.

Sieve fileinto copies messages instead of moving them

[Michael Goth via dovecot]

Hi,

we're running Doveocot 2.3.4.1 with Pigeonhole, from repo.webflow.org.

As far as I understand the RFC for 'fileinto', the following Sieve 
script should move a message either into the folder "SPAM" or "MaybeSPAM":



require ["fileinto"];
# rule:[SPAM]
if header :contains "subject" "SPAMSPAM"
{
fileinto "SPAM";
}
# rule:[SPAMSPAM]
if header :contains "subject" "SPAM"
{
fileinto "MaybeSPAM";
}


But when I receive a message with subject "SPAMSPAM", the message turns 
up in "SPAM" and "MaybeSPAM". Is this expected behaviour?



Thanks!

  Michael
