Sieve
If one wants incoming mail to be sorted into folders automatically or to be filtered in some special way, one can use "Sieve" if one has the IMAP-server post.science.ru.nl as incoming mailserver. The Sieve language is described in RFC3028. Below are instructions to activate a Sieve-script:
- Log in to "solo.science.ru.nl" (or "solost.science.ru.nl" for students)
- Type:
/usr/local/cyrus-imapd/bin/sieveshell post.science.ru.nl
and give your password.
- If you type a '?', you see what to do:
Usage: sieveshell [-u username] [-a authname] [-r realm] <server> help - this screen list - list scripts on server put <filename> [<target name>] - upload script to server get <name> [<filename>] - get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> - delete script activate <name> - set a script as the active script deactivate - deactivate all scripts quit - quit
This is an ftp
-like interface to view (get
) or upload (put
) scripts. One has to be a bit careful changing such a script, because it is quite easy to lose new mail this way.
Examples of Sieve-scripts
- If some mail should be sorted automatically into an existing folder, one can use a script like:
require [ "fileinto", "include" ]; # # Messages into folders. # if header :contains "X-VirusscanResult" "infected" { fileinto "INBOX.Virus"; stop; } include "spam"; include "vacation";
If one wants to redirect all mail that remains after our spamfilter has done its job, one has to add after the include "spam"; line:
redirect "";
