Sieve and Dovecot for sorting emails

As usual, writing this mostly for myself, as it took me a few minutes to remember how this worked :)

Dovecot configuration

Here's what I added in Dovecot's dovecot.conf file:

# Support Sieve - Nico 2023-12-24
plugin {
   sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
   sieve_global_path = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
   sieve_dir = ~/sieve
   sieve_global_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
}

Sieve configuration

In my case, it's located in /var/vmail/DOMAIN_NAME/MAILBOX_NAME/.dovecot.sieve and contains:

require "fileinto";

# Spam
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
   fileinto "Junk";
}

# Logs Servers
elsif address :is ["From"] "root@ks2.ncartron.org" {
   fileinto "Servers";
}
