i setup postfix spamassassin , dovecot sieve. spamassassin tag email spam.

i trying sieve move mail tagged "spam" spamassassin junk folder. however, not doing so. have no idea doing wrong , quite frustrated.

here's dovecot.conf dump:

my /etc/dovecot/sieve/sieve.default following:

$ cat /etc/dovecot/sieve/sieve.default require "fileinto"; if header :contains "x-spam-flag" "yes" {     fileinto "junk"; } 

the "junk" folder exists. here dump of email:

i testing email 1 server another, sender , receiver not same machine. recipient user@testmail.domain.tld , sender user@domain.tld. email marked spam.

why isn't moving email junk folder?

figured out. still noob, answer may not best, hope helps out there.

this had few problems, postfix not routing mail dovecot delivery. dovecot+sieve totally bypassed.

to fix this, had have postfix , dovecot communicate on lmtp. first, setup dovecot:

  protocol lda {             mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve     }    protocol lmtp {         mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve   }  service lmtp {    inet_listener lmtp {     address = 127.0.0.1 ::1     port = 10025    } } 

then had tell postfix talk dovecot. did doing:

virtual_transport = lmtp:[::1]:10025 

then dovecot, had configure sieve.

plugin {         sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve         sieve_dir = ~/sieve         sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve/sieve.default         sieve_default = /etc/dovecot/sieve/sieve.default         sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/ } service managesieve-login {   inet_listener sieve {     port = 4190   }    service_count = 1    process_min_avail = 0    vsz_limit = 64m }  service managesieve {    process_limit = 1024 }  protocol sieve {   managesieve_max_line_length = 65536    mail_max_userip_connections = 10    # space separated list of plugins load (none known useful far).   # not try load imap plugins here.   mail_plugins =    managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o    managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot pigeonhole    managesieve_sieve_capability =   managesieve_notify_capability =    managesieve_max_compile_errors = 5  } 

from here put in standard spamassassin filter rules in /etc/dovecot/sieve/sieve.default, in case was:

require "fileinto"; if header :contains "x-spam-flag" "yes" {   fileinto "junk"; } 

after that, ran:

sievec /etc/dovecot/sieve/sieve.default 

this "compiled" sieve rules. , finally, restarted dovecot , postfix.

sudo service dovecot restart sudo service postfix restart 

upon that, sent myself test spam , redirected spam folder. hope helps , ask pardon , correct mistakes may have made.
