==Sorting mail with Maildrop or Procmail==
=== Version ===
{{#smeversion: smeserver-mailsorting}}
===Installation===
* For sme9 and sme10
yum install smeserver-mailsorting --enablerepo=smecontribs
yum install smeserver-mailsorting --enablerepo=smecontribs
Procmail or maildrop is used to process your email on the server. It follows user defined rules. Common uses are to sort mail into folders or forward selected email on to other email addresses. The rules that you define are executed as email arrives in your mailbox on the server, and are independent of your email client. If you sort to folders you will need to use a IMAP mail client to read them.

{{note box|Defining a mail rule that includes characters such as "'''<nowiki>[ $ . | \{ ^ + ? ( \</nowiki>''' " breaks the sort rules and standard mail deliveray in general. It is necessary to escape these special characters in the mail rules so that the sort rules work correctly. Special characters can be entered but you must verify they do not break mail deliver and work as expected. It is recommended you only use alphanumeric, @ and spaces.}}

The rule fields are in fact regular expressions compatible with egrep. As a result the above cited characters are interpreted as structure of the language. Refer to "man egrep" for correct syntax. As an example if you want to catch mails with the subject including "[mymailinglist]", your rule will be :
\[mymailinglist\]
Also please note that that character "|" (pipe) is the default character used to separate fields in the internal database, so it is forbidden.
===Configuration===
===Configuration===
ie. deliver locally, forward or both.
ie. deliver locally, forward or both.
{{Note box| you can force the creation and the validation of rules of a user by this command line
signal-event mailsorting-conf '''user'''
where '''user''' has to match a real user name on your server}}
====Sieve compatibility====
'''Only For SME9'''
Once Sieve enabled by the Contrib [[dovecot-extras|smeserver-dovecot-extras]], filter rules defined in a user's ~/.procmailrc or ~/.mailfilter file are applied prior to the mail getting passed to dovecot-lda and Sieve.
If you want to prohibit the use of Sieve for a determined User
db accounts setprop USERNAME Sieve disabled
signal-event mailsorting-conf

===Geekmode Rules===
By design the mail user .procmailrc file is built from SME templates whenever a system update is performed. You can disable that action by enabling "geekmode", using the command below. With that done, you may write your own .procmailrc file and place it in the appropriate mail directory.
db account setprop USERNAME geekmode enabled
db accounts setprop USERNAME geekmode enabled
Geekmode implies you know what you are doing when creating a custom .procmailrc file.
===Testing===
===Testing===
Send an email to USERNAME to match, check in USER2's inbox
Send an email to USERNAME to match, check in USER2's inbox
