Just a quick follow up: Vladislav was correct; there is no need to have
both sieve and managesieve lines in /etc/cyrus/cyrus.conf. I removed
the managesieve line and the vacation sieve filter is working fine.
Sieve does appear in /etc/services (I guess check for your OS?), but
it's not clear to me at the moment how this is relevant.
The documentation page Nic mentioned does talk about global filters, but
doesn't provide any clues about where such things should be placed.
Following the dovecot example, I created this folder:
/var/imap/sieve/global
which likely won't ever get used, but the managesieve plugin wants to
know about it anyway.
Since the roundcube managesieve plugin doesn't necessarily do everything
for you (if you want to retain the option of setting up other filters),
I found a nice one page web tutorial you can provide users:
https://www.theedesign.com/blog/2016/set-office-message-roundcube
The alternative to this to set
$config['managesieve_vacation'] = 1;
in config.inc.php in the managesieve plugins directory, which adds a
vacation menu item the setting menu. If your users (like mine) are only
ever going to use a vacation filter and are easily confused, you can set
$config['managesieve_vacation'] = 2;
This hides the filter menu and leaves only the vastly more user friendly
vacation menu item.
This is all pretty easy to set up, once you know what to use and how to
do it, I don't understand why it's not documented better. I've been
scratching my head over how to provide this feature for years.

Just uncomment the sieve line in cyrus.conf
Following the documentation here:
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sieve.html
it looks like I also need to add a managesieve line to
/etc/cyrus/cyrus.conf?
sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="servername:sieve" prefork=0
managesieve cmd="timsieved" listen="servername:4190" prefork=0
Is this correct, or am I doing some superfluous? I enabled managesieve
and roundcube is talking to the sieve server, but didn't test without.
Hello Patrick,
these lines look like the same. Sieve port is 4190, and the first item
is IMHO just a name. Just keep the first one.
Actually, these may not be the same, depending on the contents of
/etc/services for the "sieve" service. This used to be 2000, prior to
standardization in RFC5804. So, if your /etc/services lists 4190, then
get rid of the duplicate line. The fact that Cyrus starts with both
lines defined makes me think that either sieve isn't listed in
/etc/services (which should have resulted in an error) or that it isn't
4190, since one cannot have two services defined for the same listen port.
Since this is our first time using sieve, I haven't worried about this
too much until now, but roundcube+managesieve seems to be concerned
about the location of global sieve scripts:
// default contents of filters script (eg. default spam filter)
// $config['managesieve_default'] = '/etc/dovecot/sieve/global';
$config['managesieve_default'] = '/var/imap/sieve';
There is nothing like global sieve script in cyrus (at least I did not
find a way how to do it.)
There is. Please see the documentation here:
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sieve.html#sieve-scripts-in-shared-folders
Quoting:
Cyrus has two types of repositories where Sieve scripts can live:
1.
*Personal* is per user and
2.
*Global* is for every user. Global scripts aren’t applied on
incoming messages by default: users must include them in their
scripts.
* Note that there are two types of Global scripts: *global*
and *global per domain*.
Cheers,
-nic
The option above is path to a default script (file, not folder) that
will be applied to the user upon first login to roundcube. I use it as a
template for users with some recommended settings or disabled examples.
I usually put it into /etc/roundcube/roundcube.script, but you can put
it almost anywhere. (perhaps somewhere in document_root for roundcube is
also fine).
Do not rely on it as default. It is applied only if the user does not
have a sieve script yet. After that users are free to modify it. If
someone does not use roundcube at all, he will not get that script applied.
