By writing Sieve scripts, +users can customize how messages are delivered, e.g. whether they are forwarded +or stored in special folders. The Sieve language is meant to be simple, +extensible and system independent. And, unlike most other mail filtering script +languages, it does not allow users to execute arbitrary programs. This is +particularly useful to prevent virtual users from having full access to the +mail store. The intention of the language is to make it impossible for users to +do anything more complex (and dangerous) than write simple mail filters. See +Sieve wiki [https://sieve.info/] for more comprehensive information about the +Sieve language itself. + +Installation +------------ + +Refer to the <installation page> [Pigeonhole.Installation.txt]. + +Configuration and Use +--------------------- + +The Pigeonhole package provides the following items: + + * The <Sieve interpreter plugin> [Pigeonhole.Sieve.txt] for Dovecot's <Local + Delivery Agent (LDA)> [LDA.txt] or its <LMTP.txt> server: This facilitates + the actual Sieve filtering upon delivery. + * The <ManageSieve Service> [Pigeonhole.ManageSieve.txt]: This implements the + ManageSieve protocol through which users can remotely manage Sieve scripts + on the server. + +Contact Info +------------ + + * Author: Stephan Bosch, stephan@rename-it.nl + * IRC: Freenode [https://freenode.net/], #dovecot, S[r]us + * Please use the Dovecot mailing list [https://www.dovecot.org/mailing-lists] + for questions about the Pigeonhole.
