SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] [-f formatter] sieve_cmd [options] [arguments]DESCRIPTION
The doveadm sieve commands are part of the Pigeonhole Project (pigeonhole(7)), which adds Sieve (RFC 5228) and ManageSieve (RFC 5804) support to the Dovecot secure IMAP and POP3 server (dovecot(1)). The doveadm sieve commands can be used to manage Sieve filtering.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:- -D
- Enables verbosity and debug messages.
- -f formatter
-
Specifies the
formatter
for formatting the output.
Supported formatters are:
-
- flow
- prints each line with key=value pairs.
- pager
- prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L).
- tab
- prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines.
- table
- prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.
-
- -o setting=value
- Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.
- -v
- Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
Command specific options:
- -A
-
If the
-A
option is present, the
command
will be performed for all users.
Using this option in combination with system users from
userdb { driver = passwd }
is not recommended, because it contains also users with a lower UID than
the one configured with the
first_valid_uid
setting.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iterate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Otherwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
- -S socket_path
-
The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX domain
socket, or a hostname and port
(hostname:port),
in order to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands through the given socket.
- -u user/mask
-
Run the
command
only for the given
user.
It's also possible to use
'*'
and
'?'
wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option nor -u user was specified, the command will be executed with the environment of the currently logged in user.
ARGUMENTS
- scriptname
- Is the name of a Sieve script, as visible to ManageSieve clients.
- NOTE: For Sieve scripts that are stored on disk, this is the filename without the ".sieve" extension.
COMMANDS
sieve put
doveadm sieve put [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-a] scriptnameThis command puts one new Sieve script in the script storage. The script is read from standard input. If the script compiles successfully, it is stored under the provided scriptname . If the -a option is present, the Sieve script is subsequently marked as the active script for execution at delivery.
sieve get
doveadm sieve get [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] scriptnameThis command retrieves the Sieve script named scriptname.
sieve delete
doveadm sieve delete [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] [-a] scriptname ...This command deletes one or more Sieve scripts. The deleted script may not be the active script, unless the -a option is present.
sieve list
doveadm sieve list [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] scriptnameUse this command to get an overview of existing Sieve scripts.
sieve rename
doveadm sieve rename [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] old_name new_nameThe sieve rename command is used to rename the Sieve script old_name to new_name.
sieve activate
doveadm sieve activate [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] scriptnameThis command marks the Sieve script named scriptname as the active script for execution at delivery.
sieve deactivate
doveadm sieve deactivate [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] scriptnameThis command deactivates Sieve processing.
