Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 13.04, using the stock dovecot and logwatch, I get unmatched
entries for dovecot when sieve delivers into a mailbox that has
whitespace in its name. The line which detects sieve deliveries (line
157) assumes that the mailbox name will not have whitespace:
} elsif ( ($User, $Mailbox) = ( $ThisLine =~ /^$dovecottag
(?:lda\(|deliver\(|lmtp\(\d+, )(.*)\): (?:[^:]+: )?sieve: msgid=.*:
stored mail into mailbox '(\S+)'/ ) ) {
It's quite possible to have whitespace in mailbox names. In my case,
using a Thunderbird client with Dovecot IMAP will allow mailboxes with
whitespace in the name to be created quite easily.
This can be fixed by instead accepting non-single-quote characters in
the mailbox name :
} elsif ( ($User, $Mailbox) = ( $ThisLine =~ /^$dovecottag
(?:lda\(|deliver\(|lmtp\(\d+, )(.*)\): (?:[^:]+: )?sieve: msgid=.*:
stored mail into mailbox '([^']+)'/ ) ) {
I've got this fix running on my mail server, and it clears up the
unmatched sieve delivery entries I had been getting.
