Hi
Quoting 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
<https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sieve.html>
The example shown in section "Testing the sieve server"
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sieve.html#testing-the-sieve-server
# To place this script on the server run the following command:
#
# sieveshell servername
# Please enter your password: ******
#> put myscript.script
#> activate myscript
#> quit
#
#This should place your script on the server and make it the active script.
As timsieved implements rfc5804 there is also
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5804#section-1.4
How should a user/administrator know?
Pay attention to
https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/manpages/usercommands/sieveshell.html#std:cyrusman-sieveshell(1)
<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 don't know if the defaultbc is documented somewhere, google found
some old list mails from 2007 and a thread on a german linux forum.
So there is room for improvement.
The users can't normally see this file, it is only visible indirect as the
active script is shown / marked in timsieved / sieveshell "list" command.
