Hi all,
I want to add a custom header to incoming emails from a particular sender. This
is what my user Sieve script looks like:
require ?editheader?;
if address :is "From? ?special-sender at example.com? {
addheader ?X-My-Custom-Header? ?Header Value";
}
I have enabled the editheader extension in my Dovecot configuration:
plugin {
?
sieve_extensions = +editheader
}
This doesn?t seem to work and no header is added to the email.
However, if I also move the email to a different folder in the same if-block,
the header gets added just fine:
require ?editheader?;
require ?fileinto?;
if address :is "From? ?special-sender at example.com? {
addheader ?X-My-Custom-Header? ?Header Value?;
fileinto ?MyFolder?;
}
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Peter

Very obviously a young woman. There was no possible way that she could have been mistaken for a young man in any language, especially Braille.

Thanks both for the useful pointers. Adding an explicit keep does indeed set the header. I?m confused why it makes a difference though since the default implicit action is keep. I?m also surprised this is necessary given that the setflag directive of the imap4flags extension does not require an explicit keep. I can?t find anything in the Pigeonhole documentation or the edit headers RFC about requiring an explicit keep either. Thanks for pointing out sieve-test, however, it doesn?t help clear up my confusion as it doesn?t mention the addheader directive at all: sieve-test without explicit keep: Performed actions: (none) Implicit keep: * store message in folder: INBOX sieve-test(root): Info: final result: success sieve-test with explicit keep: Performed actions: * store message in folder: INBOX Implicit keep: (none) In any case, adding keep has fixed my problem though - so thanks for the suggestion!

Please provide output of `dovecot -n`. This smells a lot like an age-old bug that was fixed long ago. It works fine with master. Regards, Stephan.
