Sort your mail with Sieve under Cyrus

The principal advantage with an imapd server is that your mailbox is the same for all your mail clients. When you need to filter some emails this is usually a job for your mail client - and if it's not running, there's no filtering. Sieve allows you to filter mails in your Cyrus imap server even when you don't have a client open.

Configure Cyrus

Edit the file /etc/imad.conf and uncomment this line to activate the sieve admin :

sieve_admins: cyrus

Then choose the directory of the sieve scripts :

sievedir: /var/spool/sieve

It's time to active sieve daemon, uncomment :

sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="localhost:sieve" prefork=0 maxchild=100

Once all that is done restart your cyrus daemon.

You can verify that the service is activated :

linux:/home/leto# cat /etc/services | grep sieve sieve 2000/tcp # Sieve mail filter daemon

Create a sieve script

Here are some simple examples (location of the script doesn't matter) :

cat script.sieve # If subject contains [Linux] then put it on the "Linux" box. if header :contains "Subject" "[Linux]" { fileinto "Linux"; stop; } # If mail is from cube3 company put it on the "Cube3" box. if address :domain :is "From" "cube3.org" { fileinto "Cube3"; stop; } # If mail address is one of my friend bob put it on "Mybudbob" box. if address :is "From" ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"] \ { fileinto "MonpoteBob"; stop; } # Same thing but just for one address. if header :contains "From" "Cron Daemon" { fileinto "Reports"; stop; }

Install the script

If there's no shell use option : --user=*user*

sieveshell localhost >put script.sieve >activate script.sieve >quit

Your script is ready :)

If It doesn't work

Verify your syslog, if you have the following error:

Fileinto: Invalid mailbox name

Then you can fix this by replacing in your your script : target by INBOX.target or INBOX/target depending on your cyrus version.

In the article this:

linux:/home/leto# cat /etc/services | grep sieve sieve 2000/tcp # Sieve mail filter daemon

is used to "verify that the sieve service is running", which is not true. /etc/services is just a list of ports and the services that are normally attached to those ports. It is a text file that is not changed wether a daemon is running on the host or not.

Something like:

$ netstat -lt| grep sieve

would tell the admin if the sieve daemon is running on the expected port or not.
