Re: sieve - redirect - delay
the problem is. If i write a mail to flo[rian]@proescholdt.de it is delivered to his mailbox on the server, but the redirection from cyrus to [EMAIL PROTECTED] stays in the queue for nearly half an hour before it is sent out. The same mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gehts out at once. The server does not have any relevant load. /var/log/mail says Jan 14 18:38:46 raidserver sendmail[12713]: f0EHC0v12711: [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=cyrus (52/12), delay=00:26:46, xdelay=00:26:46, mailer=smtp, pri=30812, relay=fmrlallmx.t-online.com. [194.25.134.92], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (Message accepted.) is this a failure or a feature? (bouncing mail) And if true is it possible to switch it off? I could not find anything about a kind of delay feature in the sieve internet draft. I would suggest it has something to do with hotmail who run a strange MTA. I have had hotmail messages in the queue for days before they actully get sent. You might want to try telneting to each hotmail mx record by hand to see if they are all up??? -- Simon ( hotmail has many mx records all with the same number I presume sendmail will only try one and back off )
sieve - redirect - delay
Hello out there,
after solving my lmtp problem with your help i discovered
another problem.
I use the following sieve script to redirect messages to my
brother who is on an exchange in the United Staates for a year.
The mail should get forwarded to his hotmail account but we
want to keep a copy of every mail so that he has the same
mailbox when he comes back.
-- sieve.script of user flo on mailserver
if address :contains :all ["to" , "cc" , "bcc"]
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" {
redirect "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
keep;}
elsif address :contains :all ["to", "cc", "bcc"]
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" { redirect
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
keep;}

FYI, you could shorten this up and write is as:
if address ["to" , "cc" , "bcc"]
["@proescholdt.de", "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"] {
redirect "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
keep;
}
You could go even one step further by using :regex for combining your
brothers addresses.

I don't believe this has anything to do with cyrus/sieve, at least not
by design. I've had a similar script used here and there is no delay.
I'd look into your sendmail setup.
