[13:55] beefsalad I've installed a sieve script to filter emails with "X-Spam-Flag: Yes" to the folder "spam", but the messages just disappear. I followed http://www.bath.ac.uk/bucs/email/mailfiltering.shtml#filterspam as a guide, the spam folder is within my 'inbox' (as are all of my folders) should the fileinto "INBOX.spam"; statement be "INBOX/spam" instead?
[13:56] andersmo depends on which folder separator you've configured, I guess.
[13:58] beefsalad require "fileinto";
[13:58] beefsalad if exists "X-Spam-Flag: YES" {
[13:58] beefsalad fileinto "INBOX.spam";
[13:58] beefsalad stop;
[13:58] beefsalad }
[13:58] beefsalad ?
[14:08] protagonist what are you altnamespace and unixhierarchysep in imapd.conf?
[14:09] protagonist err, in english I meant:
[14:09] protagonist what are your settings for altnamespace and unixhierarchysep in imapd.conf?
[14:09] beefsalad altnamespace: no
[14:09] beefsalad unixhierarchysep: yes
[14:09] protagonist then you'll want "INBOX/spam"
[14:09] beefsalad awesome, thanks!
[14:13] beefsalad well...it made it to the inbox, but not the spam folder :/
[14:15] beefsalad grrrr why me?
[14:15] fzzzt did you recompile the script
[14:18] protagonist beefsalad: that is an incorrect sieve rule
[14:18] protagonist you want:
[14:19] protagonist if header :contains [ "X-Spam-Flag" ] "YES" { fileinto "INBOX/spam"; stop; }
[14:19] fzzzt shouldn't there be more on the top line
[14:19] beefsalad fzzzt: apparently not? I swear I remember doing it for the first rule I had, but I dont see anything in my history that looks like it would be to do that
[14:24] beefsalad > delete spam
[14:24] beefsalad > put .sieve/spam
[14:24] beefsalad > activate spam
[14:24] beefsalad > list
[14:24] beefsalad spam <- active script
[14:24] beefsalad > get spam
[14:24] beefsalad require "fileinto";
[14:24] beefsalad if header :contains [ "X-Spam-Flag" ] "YES" { fileinto "INBOX/spam"; stop; }
[14:24] beefsalad same result
[14:25] beefsalad oh, that may have been user error
[14:25] beefsalad of course it was
[14:25] beefsalad <--- 1/2 retarded, 50% mentally challanged
[14:25] beefsalad thanks folks
[14:26] protagonist lol
[14:32] beefsalad now I cant help but wonder if outlook/outlook express is going to freak out when a spam folder shows up
[14:32] protagonist those programs freak out for lesser offenses :)
[14:34] beefsalad hehe exactly
