sieve redirect problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

By accident a user reported a problem of redirected mails being lost. 
After some troubleshooting I nailed down the problem to:

Nov 22 17:29:40 manaslu postfix/postdrop[23167]: warning: uid=980: File 
too large
Nov 22 17:29:40 manaslu postfix/sendmail[23166]: fatal: (...@...)(980): 
Message file too big


sieve runtime error for user^name@xxxxxxxx id <4745AC91.30707@xxxxxxxx>: 
Redirect: Sendmail process terminated normally, exit status 69

So it seems that our front end MTA had a lmessage limit set to X, our 
lmtp daemons didn't have a limit set, and our MTA on the mailstores had 
a limit set to X<Y.

Because the forward did not work the mail is just placed in the users 
his mailbox.

However the rfc 3028 says:
2.10.6.  Errors

    ...
     When an error occurs in a Sieve script, all processing stops.
    ...

    When an error happens, implementations MUST notify the user that an
    error occurred, which actions (if any) were taken, and do an implicit
    keep.

So depending on who the user is, you do or don't have a problem.
I'm not sure what I should be:
- the system administrator?
- the user sending the email
- the mailbox owner

What I do know is that now the sysadmin gets notified.  If he sees the 
message :)
