A little cumbersome as opposed to a site-wide SIEVE script, but it might just work. I was thinking on the same lines, while a user is added to the database , using your patch for cyrus users INBOX/Sent INBOX/Trash would be auto created on post. simultaneously script would also add default fileinto INBOX/Spam folder sieve script to /usr/sieve/u/username.domain directory. and this would have the same affect as site-wide sieve script.

Site-wide Sieve script
Hello, I am using spamassassin to to tag spam and would like to file the spam in users INBOX/Spam folder. Is it possible to have a site-wide sieve script which will filter all the incoming mails, and be called before the per user sieve scripts. This would save users the hassle of explicitly invoking the anti-spam sieve script, to file spam when they first sign-in. will appreciate insights by sys admins already using spamassassin to filter spam, and file it in spam folder. Regards Sarwar Ansari

It also might have wierd interactions with a user's script. What if the user's script executes a discard/reject but yours executes a fileinto? Certainly what the user expects may not be exactly what happens. -Rob -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rob Siemborski * Andrew Systems Group * Cyert Hall 207 * 412-268-7456 Research Systems Programmer * /usr/contributed Gatekeeper
Re: Site-wide Sieve script
No site-wide sieve scripts. I set up SpamAssassin so it only adds an X-Spam-Status and spam score headers to each message. That way, by default SA is completely transparent to the users, no action is taken by default except adding that header. I also set up a cgi interface for sieve (similar to the one included with SquirrelMail). Then I put up a web page accessible to users who want spam control, with instructions for setting up their own sieve filters, and a link to the sieve cgi. That way, they can choose the spam score that they want to filter on, they can choose whether to discard it, or file it into a folder to periodically check for false positives (recommended). The users also have the option of using filters built into their mail client if they would rather not use sieve. The biggest advantage to this setup from my point of view is that if there are any lost messages the users can't blame us. :-) So far, it has been a success, despite the fact that spammers have been getting better at dodging SpamAssassin lately. I'm currently using Mozilla 1.4's built-in bayes filter to catch the spam that gets past SA. -Jules Agee Sarwar Ansari wrote: Hello, I am using spamassassin to to tag spam and would like to file the spam in users INBOX/Spam folder.
