Hi all, I am trying to pipe incoming email to a PHP script using the Sieve Extprograms plugin. My script currently looks like this (I am completely new to this plugin and I haven't been able to find any good documentation or examples for it, so please forgive me if this is really stupid ): Code: require ["fileinto", "regex", "date", "relational", "vacation"]; service sieve-pipe-script { # This script is executed for each service connection executable = /usr/bin/php /var/www/[removed]/pipe.php support@[removed].com # use some unprivileged user for execution user = dovenull # socket name is program-name in Sieve (without sieve-pipe/ prefix) unix_listener sieve-pipe/sieve-pipe-script { } } keep; My main Sieve configuration file: Code: ## ## Settings for the Sieve interpreter ## # Do not forget to enable the Sieve plugin in 15-lda.conf and 20-lmtp.conf # by adding it to the respective mail_plugins= settings. plugin { # The path to the user's main active script. If ManageSieve is used, this the # location of the symbolic link controlled by ManageSieve. sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve # The default Sieve script when the user has none. This is a path to a global # sieve script file, which gets executed ONLY if user's private Sieve script # doesn't exist. Be sure to pre-compile this script manually using the sievec # command line tool. # --> See sieve_before fore executing scripts before the user's personal # script. #sieve_default = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve # Directory for :personal include scripts for the include extension. This # is also where the ManageSieve service stores the user's scripts. sieve_dir = ~/sieve # Directory for :global include scripts for the include extension. #sieve_global_dir = # Path to a script file or a directory containing script files that need to be # executed before the user's script. If the path points to a directory, all # the Sieve scripts contained therein (with the proper .sieve extension) are # executed. The order of execution within a directory is determined by the # file names, using a normal 8bit per-character comparison. Multiple script # file or directory paths can be specified by appending an increasing number. #sieve_before = #sieve_before2 = #sieve_before3 = (etc...) # Identical to sieve_before, only the specified scripts are executed after the # user's script (only when keep is still in effect!). Multiple script file or # directory paths can be specified by appending an increasing number. #sieve_after = #sieve_after2 = #sieve_after2 = (etc...) # Which Sieve language extensions are available to users. By default, all # supported extensions are available, except for deprecated extensions or # those that are still under development. Some system administrators may want # to disable certain Sieve extensions or enable those that are not available # by default. This setting can use '+' and '-' to specify differences relative # to the default. For example `sieve_extensions = +imapflags' will enable the # deprecated imapflags extension in addition to all extensions were already # enabled by default. #sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags # Which Sieve language extensions are ONLY available in global scripts. This # can be used to restrict the use of certain Sieve extensions to administrator # control, for instance when these extensions can cause security concerns. # This setting has higher precedence than the `sieve_extensions' setting # (above), meaning that the extensions enabled with this setting are never # available to the user's personal script no matter what is specified for the # `sieve_extensions' setting. The syntax of this setting is similar to the # `sieve_extensions' setting, with the difference that extensions are # enabled or disabled for exclusive use in global scripts. Currently, no # extensions are marked as such by default. sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.execute # The Pigeonhole Sieve interpreter can have plugins of its own. Using this # setting, the used plugins can be specified. Check the Dovecot wiki # (wiki2.dovecot.org) or the pigeonhole website # (http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org) for available plugins. # The sieve_extprograms plugin is included in this release. sieve_plugins = sieve_extprograms # The separator that is expected between the :user and :detail # address parts introduced by the subaddress extension. This may # also be a sequence of characters (e.g. '--'). The current # implementation looks for the separator from the left of the # localpart and uses the first one encountered. The :user part is # left of the separator and the :detail part is right. This setting # is also used by Dovecot's LMTP service. #recipient_delimiter = + # The maximum size of a Sieve script. The compiler will refuse to compile any # script larger than this limit. If set to 0, no limit on the script size is # enforced. #sieve_max_script_size = 1M # The maximum number of actions that can be performed during a single script # execution. If set to 0, no limit on the total number of actions is enforced. #sieve_max_actions = 32 # The maximum number of redirect actions that can be performed during a single # script execution. If set to 0, no redirect actions are allowed. #sieve_max_redirects = 4 # The maximum number of personal Sieve scripts a single user can have. If set # to 0, no limit on the number of scripts is enforced. # (Currently only relevant for ManageSieve) #sieve_quota_max_scripts = 0 # The maximum amount of disk storage a single user's scripts may occupy. If # set to 0, no limit on the used amount of disk storage is enforced. # (Currently only relevant for ManageSieve) #sieve_quota_max_storage = 0 } This results in the following errors in the sieve log file: Code: sieve: info: started log at Oct 17 14:35:55. main script: line 5: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '-'. main script: line 5: error: expected end of command ';' or the beginning of a compound block '{', but found unknown characters. main script: line 5: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '-'. main script: line 7: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '='. main script: line 7: error: expected end of command ';' or the beginning of a compound block '{', but found unknown characters. main script: line 7: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '.'. main script: line 7: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '@'. main script: line 7: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '.'. main script: line 10: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '='. main script: line 13: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '-'. main script: line 13: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '-'. main script: line 13: error: unexpected character(s) starting with '-'. main script: error: parse failed. I am pretty sure I am doing it completely wrong, but due to the lack of information I can find I have no idea how to do it the right way. Any input is greatly appreciated.
