dovecot - Feb 2018 - dovecot-lda won't cause mail to be filtered by sieve

Hi

I'm changing from fetchmail to getmail, in order to fetch my mail from
several mail servers and deliver it to my local dovecot server. Fetchmail
supports LMTP, getmail doesn't. So I'm making getmail call dovecot-lda
for delivering the mail. But now, the incoming mail doesn't get filtered
through sieve any longer.

However, this command works:

sieve-filter -v -u v ~v/.dovecot.sieve INBOX -e -W expunge

Any ideas?

Greetings
V.W.

You need to enable the sieve plugin for LDA. Look at the 15-lda.conf config
file.

At the end of the file you should have
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
