Re: Sieve script not working

[Willem Offermans <Willem@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Michael and Cyrus friends,

Where is this documented?

I cannot find anything about this in

https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sieve.html

How should a user/administrator know?

Pay attention to

https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/manpages/usercommands/sieveshell.html#std:cyrusman-sieveshell(1)

and look at activate/deactivate. 

This is sufficient documentation according to the developer, who spent many hours in the code, I guess.

However, an ignorant user only gets a hint at most. Where is defaultbc mentioned? Be aware that the 

text the user reads is far away off what the user experiences, when he uses sieveshell. There is no 

(visual) connection between the two. It is a challenge to find your way. 

I’m a bit ashamed, but I found a way to contribute to the documentation:

https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/developer/documentation.html

It is better for me to contribute. 

I hope I can find some time ...

Just to make sure I've clarified this: the script *is* there.

ls /var/imap/sieve/u/user1
user1.sieve.bc user1.sieve.script

is the script activated? a user can have multiple scripts stored on the server
but only one can be activated at the same time. On the filesystem there should
be a "defaultbc"  which is a soft link to the active bc file.

The content of user1.sieve.script is the script I installed via sieveshell; user1.sieve.bc is a bytecode file where some strings (i.e. regex and folder names) match the original script, so I think it's right.

As I said, the same goes for user2 and user3, but for those users the script also works.

bye & Thanks
