Give them a web interface to Sieve. Websieve is an option, as would the Ingo module of the Horde framework. I do not think it would possible to use procmail with Cyrus.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, you might want to look into the CVS HEAD version of the IMP webmail (also part of the Horde framework). It have a feature to fetch mail from other account over POP3, IMAP, etc. With IMP "fetchmail" feature and the Ingo Sieve script manager, you should really try Horde (www.horde.org ... get a nightly snapshot for the latest features). Not a flame, but if possible you should turn off plain-text justification. It make your email very hard to read in mono-spaced font (console mail reader).

Unless your users are trying to implement a mailing list of some sort or do something very complicated, sieve should serve all of their needs. There's also a performance hit for using procmail -- the number of processes you need to fork to do a given mail delivery goes way up. timsieved implements the MANAGESIEVE protocol for which there are a number of web apps that can handle it (in addition, of course, to sieveshell). > And the last (and probably the most stupid) question is regarding > 'details delivery'.

As long as sendmail isn't stripping what is between the + and the @ this should be easy, just give "anyone" the "p" right on the folders in question.

Cyrus IMAP use questions.
Hello all, I've already asked a few questions here and the mailing list was extremely helpful (in fact, I only was able to start using Cyrus IMAP server after asking around here). Once again, I want to thank everybody who replied and helped me with my problems. Now I have a couple of questions regarding the neat little things I'd like to implement on my mail server upon user's requests. First of all, I wanted to implement incoming mail sorting via procmail. Considering that none of my users have local shell accounts, what is the right way to implementing individual procmail scripts for those users who don't want to use sieve? Or should I use sieve as an alternative? My only concern with it is that most of the clients my users use are unaware of sieve and I have no clue how to provide them an access to their sieve's scripts in this case. I also was asked to provide an ability to collect mail from other user's accounts automatically (mostly pop3) and to put it in my IMAP server's folders. Fetchmail seems to be useful for that, but the same problem appears - since my users do not have local accounts, I am not sure what would be a right way to create fetchmail's configuration files for each of them individually. I am thinking of providing something like an SSL-wrapped web page with authentication against sasldb for this, but still you might have a better idea on that. Speaking of this approach, is there a standard tool for this kind of authentication (SSL-ed webpage and sasldb)? I am asking because another problem I have here is letting users change their sasldb-based passwords without having to log in to the box. And the last (and probably the most stupid) question is regarding 'details delivery'. I know that it is possbile to specify the folder name together with an e-mail address so the letter will be automatically put in the folder specified ([EMAIL PROTECTED], for example, is supposed to put an e-mail into 'work' folder give that it exists). But I am not sure what parameters I have to specify in my sendmail.mc to get this to work. I am using cyrusv2 local delivery (I believe it uses LMTP, right?) Do I have to use any special rules or pass any special parameters to the for this feature to work? Thank you all very much, I would really appreciate any help with these problems. -- Sincerely yours, Denis mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
