Linux Mail Server Setup and Howto Guide

Post edited 1:58 pm – November 19, 2011 by ron82

Greetings and Salutations,

I could use some expertise on how to properly get sieve to put mail in Public folder.
*My Public folder works. I see them, can drag mail from inbox to public folder, and other users see the folders/emails as well.
*When I setup a sieve rule, it seems to place mail in the user's Maildir directory
** Instead of going to /archive/public/.LogWatchers/
** It goes to /archive/vmail/<mydomain>/<user>/Maildir/.Netcats.LogWatchers
*I am simply testing incoming email from a gmail account to get filtered to a public folder called .LogWatchers; for future logwatch notifications abviously.
*I am using dovecot 2.0.14 with pigeonhole installed , Centos 5

Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thank you. - Ron 

Relevant Configs:

mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/

namespace {
  hidden = no
  list = children
  location = maildir:/archive/public
  prefix = Netcats/
  separator = /
  subscriptions = no
  type = public
}

plugin {
  sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_dir = ~/sieve
  sieve_global_dir = /archive/vmail/sieve/
  sieve_global_path = /archive/vmail/sieve/default.sieve
}

protocol lda {
  auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
  log_path = /var/log/sieve.log
  mail_plugins = sieve quota
}

My Global Sieve Filter:

require ["body", "fileinto", "relational", "regex",
         "comparator-i;ascii-numeric"];

if header :contains ["From"] "@gmail"
{
  fileinto "Netcats.LogWatchers";
  stop;
}
