Running sieve manually

Fredrik Staxeng — 2012-05-23T08:21:45

I would like use sieve to split up my saved mail into different
folders. I have tried to find out how to do that, but failed.

The IMAP server is dovecot 1.2.15 on ubuntu 11.04. The mail is stored in
mbox folders. I have shell access.

Well the main one... You don't have a full blown RDBMS running which
in my opinion is a waste of resources.

Anyway I also have a SQLite based Dovecot and Exim setup.
In case you care to take a look at my setup(note the php part is nowhere
near done/complete or even tested):

The shell frontend though works.

SQLite support in Postfix is fairly young. I'm not sure about 
Dovecot, but again I doubt it has been around as long as real RDB 
systems. It hasn't existed as long as they have! 2000 May 29 was the 
initial Alpha release. In contrast, MySQL appeared in 1995, and 
PostgreSQL evolved in 1996 from a much older project.

SQLite.org has a very old article where someone did some read and 
write benchmarking against MySQL and PostgreSQL. In those tests it 
did very well.

This is what I'd expect, since there is nothing between the 
application and the database. The SQLite file will be cached in 
system RAM if it is frequently accessed, which in a moderate mail 
server, it certainly would be.

I don't have a busy system, but I expect it could handle anything 
one might throw at it.


At this point there is no easy frontend for SQLite-managed mail 
servers. If you want to give a non-technical user the ability to 
manage accounts, at this point, you'd probably have to write a GUI 
interface. (That should not be a pr

Some search key (sent by client) wasn't valid UTF-8. I found one way of how it could happen, this fixes it:

If the crash still happens even after that, a gdb backtrace would be helpful: http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html

You can find a list of available extensions in Dovecot wiki
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve
and include such extensions like this:
require ["fileinto","regex","vacation"];

The nesting of the curly brackets seems to be wrong:
The inner branch which should trigger the redirects
will never be reached, since it resides inside of the
bracket of condition 'if header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert< at >"'.

I'm thinking of something like this (without having checked syntax):

if header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert< at >" {
  keep;
}
redirect "my< at >emailid on server";
redirect "xyz< at >gmail.com";
redirect "abc< at >tbc.edu";
stop;

Hi,
I'd like to keep all emails coming from alom-alert< at >anydomain and not
forward those but rest of the emails will be kept and forwarded as
well.

I put following in the .dovecot.sieve


if header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert< at >" {
keep;
if not header :contains "Sender" "alom-alert< at >" {
redirect "my< at >emailid on server";
redirect "xyz< at >gmail.com";
redirect "abc< at >tbc.edu";
stop;
  }
}

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Re: Failed build with lucene plugin

Timo Sirainen — 2012-05-22T10:59:58


It would also be interesting to try if Dovecot would work with Lucene++: https://github.com/luceneplusplus/LucenePlusPlus

CLucene people were planning on somehow merging the projects, but that doesn't seem to be happening very fast.

Re: Failed build with lucene plugin

Nick Rosier — 2012-05-22T10:47:21

You need to compile CLucene 2.3.3.4 with Clang. I've also tried with the 
FreeBSD included compiler but it fails. The recent addition of 
SOLR-support to the dovecot2 port was made by and at the request of me. 
I would like to add lucene 2.3.3.4 to ports as well but don't know the 
proper procedure and I also hesitate because it only compiles with 
Clang. I've contacted the author of the original lucene port but haven't 
received a reply.

Thank you. I'm using the FreeBSD, and clucene is 0.9. Now I'm try
compile 2.3.3.4 which's fails now, and then I'll try build the dovecot

Which platform/OS are you trying to compile on? Which version of 
CLucene? You need at version 2.3.3.4 (not 0.9) as stated on the Wiki 
(http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/FTS/Lucene)

Re: dovecot fts_lucene indexes not being updated

Timo Sirainen — 2012-05-21T19:02:48


If you run "doveadm index", the doveadm itself is doing all the work. This isn't necessarily recommended, since if another indexer is running for the user it may cause problems. Also this is probably why you're not seeing a log message about how many messages were indexed.

If you run "doveadm index -q", you should have indexer-worker process and the log message.

Re: dovecot fts_lucene indexes not being updated

Joe Beaubien — 2012-05-21T14:12:40

I can also add that I had "top" running while doing a "doveadm index" on
800 emails; doveadm took about 15 seconds to complete and in top I never
saw lucene-indexer (or lucene-worker) appear.

Hmm. 

Those documenets only talk about heavy writing to the database which is
not involved in the Dovecot scenario discussed here, where the database
is used as a data storage for the configuration which is mostly read.

So the question, how fast SQLite is during read operations compared to
BDB is still unanswered.

Out of curiousity...

How is the performance of SQLite? I'm assuming it is only recommended

What are the main advantages/disadvantages of using SQLite over MySQL?
