No need for user shell access. Before switching to sieve, I made some email interface where users could turn on 'services' by sending an email to themselves. -----Original Message----- To: dovecot at dovecot.org Subject: Re: Procmail with Dovecot On 13.10.20 11:08, Dan Egli wrote:> Hey folks, here's a question.

Wouldn't it be better if you enabled Sieve and use that instead? procmail needs shell access (or a very sophisticated web-upload thingy to weed out any shell escapes from procmail) to work and a user can easily create loops or break their mail reception completely. Sieve at least makes sure the syntax is correct before installing a ruleset. Gr??e, Sven.

As for using sieve, I still don't understand it at all. I've already got another thread going about problems where sieve is supposed to be calling scripts to learn spam/ham based on user choices, but doesn't seem to be doing so. Perhaps someone could write the definitive guide to sieve. That would be great. -- Dan Egli On my Test server -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
