dovecot - Apr 2009 - Global Sieve File

Is anyone here using a global Sieve file that handles messages for an
entire server with many users? I understand and use local Sieve files, but
I would like to learn more about how to set up Sieve to filter ALL
incoming messages using a single file. I would love to read about how you
managed to get it working.

I'm running Fedora 10 with Postfix 2.5.5 and Dovecot 1.2.rc2.

Thanks for any insight!

If you are using the new Sieve implementation, you can use the new 
multiscript feature. It is not explained on the wiki yet (I should give 
the new Sieve its own page), but things are outlined in the 
configuration section of the INSTALL file:

http://hg.rename-it.nl/dovecot-libsieve/raw-file/0.1.4/INSTALL

Be sure to test this new feature extensively though, since it may still 
contain some bugs.

I am testing yet this version of sieve with dovecot  1.2 beta
I have done in dovecot.conf:

protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s managesieve
mail_plugins = quota sieve
sieve_before = /usr/local/etc/sieve/global/.global.dovecot.sieve

more /usr/local/etc/sieve/global/.global.dovecot.sieve:

require "fileinto";
if exists "X-Spam-Flag" { fileinto "spam"; }

I have found that i need a personal script in the home directory to 
execute this global script, if the user script isn't exists this before 
script is not run.

Personal script:

more .dovecot.sieve:

require "include";

I am planning to use this to filter spam in a global script and deploy 
managed sieve with avelsize plugin with squirrelmail to let users 
configure their vacation messages

I would prefer to have independent global scripts from personal scripts.
