dovecot - Mar 2009 - hwo can i have managesieve protocol and cmusieve plugin work at the same time

Hello everybody,

I would like to use managesieve protocol and cmusieve plugin at the same
time.

I have used the cmusieve plugin for years and I now also enabled the
managesieve system. I got the managesieve system working but when I
activate the managesieve filter for the user the cmusieve sieve filter is
not used anymore.

How can I have both sieve systems working, the cmusieve is for a global
all user spam filter, and the managesieve is for one user only. I don't
want the user to have control over the spam sieve filter, because other
systems depend on the location where spam is archived.

Below are my configurations:

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

root at ashley:~# cat /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
protocols = imap imaps managesieve
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n

ssl_cert_file = /etc/tls/powercraft.nl/powercraft.nl-certificate.pem
ssl_key_file = /etc/tls/powercraft.nl/powercraft.nl-privatekey.pem

protocol lda {
  auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
  postmaster_address = postmaster at powercraft.nl
  # hostname = ashley
  mail_plugins = cmusieve
  global_script_path = /home/vmail/system/scripts/sieve/x-spam-flag.sieve
}

protocol managesieve {
  # Specify an alternative address:port the daemon must listen on
  # (default: *:2000)
  #listen = localhost:2000

  # sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_storage=/home/vmail/sieve/%d/%n
}

auth default {
  mechanisms = plain
  passdb sql {
    args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf
  }
  userdb static {
    args = uid=5000 gid=5000 home=/home/vmail/%d/%n
  }
  socket listen {
    master {
      path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
      mode = 0600
      user = vmail
    }
    client {
      path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
      mode = 0660
      user = postfix
      group = postfix
    }
  }
}

cat /home/vmail/system/scripts/sieve/x-spam-flag.sieve
require "fileinto";
if header :contains ["X-Spam-Flag"] ["YES"] {
    fileinto "archive.spam";
}

Somebody that know how to have both sieve filters systems working?

Yes, that is difficult for Dovecot v1.1 and there is no real good 
workaround. The Sieve implementation for Dovecot v1.2 does have support 
for executing multiple Sieve scripts sequentially, making it possible to 
truly force execution of the administrator's script before the user's 
script.

As a workaround, one may think it is possible to have your global 
x-spam-flag.sieve include the user's sieve script with the include 
extension. This will work, however, the CMUSieve plugin requires any 
included Sieve script to exist. A nasty side effect of this is that any 
user who deactivates his Sieve script through ManageSieve ends up 
deleting the link to it on the server. This will break the include from 
the global Sieve script and end its execution.

I am not sure whether there is a proper workaround to achieve something 
like this for Dovecot versions prior to v1.2. Can't think of any...
