dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.0
1. Configuring Dovecot
Go to http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org/download.html and find a proper version of pigeonhole for your dovecot version.
So let's get and install it:
Code:
[B]cd /usr/local/src
wget [URL]http://www.rename-it.nl/dovecot/2.1/dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.0.tar.gz[/URL]
tar -zxvf dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.0.tar.gz
cd dovecot-2.1-pigeonhole-0.3.0
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && make install[/B]
Code:
[B]cd /etc/
cp dovecot.conf dovecot.conf-bak[/B]
Code:
[B]service managesieve-login {
inet_listener sieve {
port = 4190
}
service_count = 1
process_min_avail = 1
vsz_limit = 64M
}
service managesieve {
process_limit = 10
}
protocol sieve {
managesieve_max_line_length = 65536
managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot
log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log
}
plugin {
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/
}
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
postmaster_address = [email protected]
hostname = server.domain.com
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log
}
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-errors.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log
}[/B]After that, find there a line
Code:
[B]protocols = imap pop3[/B]and add lmtp sieve to its end, so it would look like this:
Code:
[B]protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve[/B]Then find auth section:
Code:
[B]service auth {
user = root
}[/B]and make it to look something like this:
Code:
[B]service auth {
user = root
unix_listener auth-master {
user = mail
group = mail
mode = 0664
}
}[/B]Now we should create some logs (it's up to you to setup rotation of these logs):
Code:
[B]touch /var/log/dovecot-debug.log /var/log/dovecot-lda.log /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-errors.log /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log[/B]
Code:
[B]chown mail:mail /var/log/dovecot-debug.log /var/log/dovecot-lda.log /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-errors.log /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log[/B]
Code:
[B]chmod 660 /var/log/dovecot-debug.log /var/log/dovecot-lda.log /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-errors.log /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log[/B]This is How to create default empty sieve rule (Thanks to user defomaz)
Code:
# mkdir /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/
# touch /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
# sievec /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
# chown mail:mail /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/* -RWe've finished with Dovecot, let's restart it and test it. With the following commands you should see something like that comes bellow (if you see something completely different, then re-check your steps):
Code:
[B]# ps aux | grep -v grep | grep managesieve-login
dovecot 20372 0.0 0.1 44608 2988 ? S 16:53 0:00 dovecot/managesieve-login[/B]and this
Code:
[B]# netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep :4190
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:4190 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN[/B]2. Configuring Roundcube for using managesieve plugin
Code:
[B]cd /var/www/html/roundcube/plugins/managesieve/
cp config.inc.php.dist config.inc.php[/B]Open /var/www/html/roundcube/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php find lines
Code:
[B]// managesieve server port
$rcmail_config['managesieve_port'] = 2000;[/B]update it look like this (change port from 2000 to 4190)
Code:
[B]// managesieve server port
$rcmail_config['managesieve_port'] = 4190;[/B]The Pigeonhole ManageSieve service now binds to TCP port 4190 by default due to the IANA port assignment for the ManageSieve service
Then open /var/www/html/roundcube/config/main.inc.php
And find line
Code:
[B]$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('password');[/B]
Code:
[B]$rcmail_config['plugins'] = array('password','managesieve');[/B]Now it's the right time to make sure RoundCube can connect to Sieve service, so open Roundcube in your browser
http://domain.com/roundcube/-> Personal Settings -> Filters -> Add filter
If you do not see any error message there, then it's OK and RounCube seems to be able to connect to Sieve service of Dovecot. So let's create a simple filter to make sure the things work ok, and later we will use this rule for a full check of our settings:
Note, you might loose these changes (made in /var/www/html/roundcube/config/main.inc.php and /var/www/html/roundcube/plugins/managesieve/config.inc.php) on Roundcube upgrading with custombuild script. So it's up to you to protect it from overwriting (see link to "Using custom configs Roundcube" at the bottom of this How-To for details). Also you might need to re-build pigeonhole after every dovecot upgrading or reinstalling
2. Configuring Exim for using Dovecot Deliver (LDA)
Code:
[B]cd /etc
cp exim.conf exim.conf-bak[/B]Open /etc/exim.conf fir editing, find the lines
Code:
[B]address_reply:
driver = autoreply[/B]add after them
Code:
[B]dovecot_virtual_delivery:
driver = pipe
command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $local_part@$domain -f $sender_address -a $original_local_part@$original_domain
message_prefix =
message_suffix =
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
return_path_add
log_output
user = "${lookup{$domain}lsearch* {/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}"
group = mail
temp_errors = 64 : 69 : 70: 71 : 72 : 73 : 74 : 75 : 78[/B]Find the line
Code:
[B]transport = virtual_localdelivery[/B]Replace it with
Code:
[B]#transport = virtual_localdelivery
transport = dovecot_virtual_delivery[/B]Restart Exim and send an email in order to check the filters!
Code:
[B]# cat /var/log/dovecot-lda.log
Apr 08 17:45:55 lda([email protected]): Info: sieve: msgid=<[email protected]>: stored mail into mailbox 'INBOX.@vds54-ru'[/B]That's it!

UPD1: To switch to LMTP from LDA one need to apply some changes. Please read this post http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=43332&page=3&p=236255#post236255
UPD2: Custombuild 2.0 now supports Sieve and you don't need to follow this guide in case you are using CB 2.0.
UPD3: With implementing of Sieve into Exim/Dovecot you'll get Mailbox Quotas not working, it would mean, that if you set a limit for a Mailbox to 10Mb (for example) or whatever you set, you'll be still able to overcome the limit.
