Dovecot (Sieve) and email piping

    Hello! :)

    From what I've read on the internet it's not possible to pipe emails to a PHP script with Sieve out-of-the-box.

    I came across a topic on this forum linking to a plugin called the 'Pigeonhole Sieve Pipe Plugin', which I tried to install (compile) on my server but that was just carnage. Nothing but hours of googling and lots of hair pulling. :p (This was some time ago, I remember being unable to find a specific package needed to compile).

    So my question is, is there any other option to pipe emails to a PHP script (or perhaps a different way to make it work with Sieve?), or am I pretty much doomed?

    Server setup:
    • CentOS 6
    • Dovecot 2.0.9
    • (ISPConfig 3 with Nginx)

    I haven't used sieve for piping emails, so I can't help you with that topic. What you can do is that you use an alias to pipe emails (file /etc/aliases), the alias address is something like [email protected], so if the email gets received to a normal email address like [email protected] then add a forward to [email protected] in ispconfig and then add the pipe in /etc/aliases and run newaliases command to activate it.
