Sieve Redirect

Hi,

I followed the forums's instructions on using redirect in the custom rules section of a mailbox, The email is redirected but it is still being delivered to squirrelmail.

I used this

Code:

redirect "[email protected]";

I also tried these but in all cases the email remained in squirrelmail.

Code:

redirect "[email protected]";
stop;

redirect "[email protected]";
kill;

redirect "[email protected]";
delete;

redirect "[email protected]";
discard;

I am using dovecot and ubuntu and i followed this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3

Also is there a way to auto prune the mailboxes?, like "delete everything over 20 days"

Thanks for any help.

 

Following on from my question,

If i set up a catchall and point it to a mailbox that has a redirect set, how can i stop the mailbox from filling up?

Any solution to this?
How does one redirect without local delivery via sieve or is a plain

Code:

redirect "[email protected]";

enough?
