yeah that’s normal because -f is to follow, like you send that to the background and launch dovecot…
anyway just remove lines in the config until you get some errors that makes sense. yum reinstall dovecot? yum -y install dovecot-pigeonhole dovecot-mysql? Just look on the internet, try stuff. My dovecot isn’t broken so can’t really help.
Hello everyone.
On Centos 7, clean installation with latest Cyberpanel this tutorial doesn’t even make it to Step 1.
Anyone got any new instructions?
Followed EVERY single suggestion on this post, on other posts, and on the internet also.
The most crucial question is: Has ANYONE implemented the above on the latest Cyberpanel and latest Openlitespeed (downloaded today?). Does ANYONE on this community have implemented sieve management and sents their spam mail into their Junk folder right now as we speak? Instructions like “Do this obvious thing”, or “Why don’t you try that” are no use if the commenter have NOT implemented this in your devices successfully also.
It seems weird that all around the internet there is no proper instruction for this. Everyone is giving false or limited instructions. As a company, we had to outsource it and post a Job Request on the famous sites, because it’s been over a month that we try to implement it without any luck.
Best regards!
Oh right, I never solved that thing since I was so pissed off at that guy who refused to post his error, I hate those people.
Anyway, that problem was solved by this guy on centos 7 : HELP me: Email not receiveing after setting up filtering spam in rainLoop - #17 by 73Hn
Which is you have to add dovecot repo at https://repo.dovecot.org/ since the centos 7 repo has conflicting dovecot and dovecot-pigeonhole packages and you’ll never be able to install matching dovecot/pigeonhole otherwise, the two has to match, or it won’t work. My solution of just installing pigeonhole was always the solution, just you need to add the dovecot repo.
Hopefully the outsource to famous sites wasn’t too expensive!
Damn I never seen people that need so much handholding
If you want to use ghettoforge ( what cyberpanel use )
yum --enablerepo=gf-plus -y install dovecot23-pigeonhole
for the official repo, after adding the dovecot repo
yum remove dovecot23 dovecot23-mysql
yum install dovecot dovecot-mysql dovecot-pigeonhole
the dovecot.conf will be dovecot.confrpmsave or something similar, or just copy one in this thread.
Is this forum purpose is ask help from community? Or did I get something wrong…
Yeah I’ve been thinking about it, it’s mostly because I disagree with the ghettoforge path, I feel it’ll just repeat itself next security update versus the official repo, it’s the state of centos repo, try to find a yum repo for imagick for lsphp. So naturally, I prefer to answer other path, until I get 10+ dm of endless text from people adamant they’ll never ever try official repos, then I give up.
It’s like your solution to OWASP issues "This domain does not exists" error - #10 by Dreamer which is “disable 949-BLOCKING-EVALUATION”, this remove any blocking and evaluation, makes the whole ruleset useless. It’s useful in a way, like you can fix any firewall issues if you just open all the ports. This is appalling to me, but I guess super useful if you don’t know.
What is your point to even be here?
To be arrogant, rude, try make people feel idiot whith your god tier knowledge?
You don’t need to be arrogant when helping people on forums, if you get annoyed from people asking maybe better not even try
Exactly the question I ask you, what you contribute to this discussion? Are you having an issue with sieve? Something to contribute to fix the problem? I answered everything and fixed the issue, I think I can be frustrated when people refuse to send their errors or even try to install a package themselves and instead send me endless messages non technical message like you do
So sorry if I hurt your feelings. 
Yeah we know you have no solution, or nothing to contribute to the discussion, some might say you just join to complain about me… almost attack…
Like I mentioned, I don’t like the solution, because to remind you, I found the solution. I think it’s better to move to official repo than expecting ghettoforge long term to not mess up, but people disagree, so I presented both solution ( after much DM and much pushing because people apparently hate dovecot official repo ), let people pick. It’s like I disagree to your solution that any OWASP issues can be fixed by removing the one file that actually do any rejecting making the whole thing useless, but it works, just like removing reject in firewalls. It’s related to the solution. I personally don’t care how people run their server, or if they listen to you, more money for me when things breaks! Maybe next time I’ll be inspired by you and just teach people to downgrade, it used to work!
You are “bragging” and complaining in the same post.
You brag that you found a solution that does NOT work.
You also complain about people posting blurred/painted-over photos, where NOTHING was capped out of the image, except for unneeded commands done over the line posted.
damn the drama on this thread…
What doesn’t work about it? Like mentioned many times, you need to install dovecot-pigeonhole to go over your error message it was so secretive I had to ask many time for you to send it. I did the whole handholding since “install dovecot-pigeonhole” was too cryptic.
Either ghettoforge or official dovecot, up to you.
For CentOS 8 and AlmaLinux, the correct way is actually yum install --enablerepo=gf-plus dovecot23-pigeonhole -y.
Hi!
I followed all steps in a test fresh installed CentOS 7 server, first I was unable to install Sieve using the command in the post:
sudo yum install–enablerepo=gf-plus install dovecot23-pigeonhole -y
But I was able to install it using the following command, thanks to @entoutcas :
yum --enablerepo=gf-plus -y install dovecot23-pigeonhole
But after I finished all steps except adding the Sieve filter as the interface is different and complicated, I tried to check if email is still working as normal, but the server is no more receiving emails, and when checked logs and googled a lot, I came to the following error in dovecot-lda-errors.log file:
2022-10-28 09:54:12 lda(2098): Fatal: Plugin 'autocreate' not found from directory /usr/lib64/dovecot
Googling about it clarify that the latest version of dovecot is no more using autocreate plugin, but it is using namespace instead, but I can’t modify the dovecot config file to use the new syntax:
https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/autocreate-plugin/
Any help please?
Magento 2 Payment Restrictions limits additionally make use of superior catalog alternatives and coupon codes. You can restrict fee alternatives while a purchaser makes use of a chit code or a product is sure with the aid of using sure catalog policies. For example, you may save your, clients, from the usage of “coins on transport” or “loose transport” as a fee alternative while making use of a sure coupon code.
I cannot execute this step due to the following error. Could someone please help?

Hi,
My mailserver is working and a testing score 10/10. Now want to implement this feature. But have some doubt on it. I will point out my setting before implementing.
Protocols are imap & pop3. It just says add sieve, but seems need to add lmtp and sieve as protocol.
In the instructions says to add the config at the end of dovecot, but some settings have been set up before:
unix_listener auth-master {
mode = 0660
user = vmail
}
Do I need to add the group? as:
unix_listener auth-master {
group = vmail
mode = 0660
user = vmail
}
auth-client wasn’t there and it authenticated. Is it necessary to add the following?
unix_listener auth-client {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
The protocol lda block was set. I suppose I need to merge it with your provided lines rather than add another block.
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins autocreate sieve quota
…
log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log
}
That’s it, thankyou!
Append “sieve” after ‘lmtp’ in protocols on the first line:
protocols = imap pop3 lmtp sieve
After that, add the following lines at the end of the config file and save the file:
service auth {
unix_listener auth-client {
group = postfix
mode = 0660
user = postfix
}
unix_listener auth-master {
group = vmail
mode = 0660
user = vmail
}
user = root
}
service managesieve-login {
inet_listener sieve {
port = 4190
}
}
service managesieve {
}
protocol sieve {
managesieve_max_line_length = 65536
managesieve_implementation_string = dovecot
log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve-errors.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-sieve.log
}
plugin {
sieve = /home/vmail/dovecot.sieve
sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
sieve_dir = /home/vmail/sieve
sieve_global_dir = /etc/dovecot/sieve/global/
}
lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes
lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins autocreate sieve quota
postmaster_address = [email protected]
hostname = mail.mydomain.com
auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda-errors.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lda.log
}
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins autocreate sieve quota
log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp-errors.log
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-lmtp.log
}
Are filters applied to all accounts? Doesn’t it matter if they are from different domains?
Filter is managed on every email.
They do not work with other emails.
Unless you have already forwarded the other emails to 1 email.
Then you can use that filter on 1 email to move emails forwarded from another email.
