Notify support

Hi all,

Having run a limited test of DBmail (and having little time to test everything I
needed) I've pushed 2.2.12 into production use on 5 serves (very low traffic,
but DBMail is the perfect architecture for us and means we can start interacting
with messages using SQL rather that hacking around with IMAP). However, one
pretty important feature we need, that I assumed was present in one fashion or
another as I had seen both a SIEVE_NOTIFY parameter in dbmail.conf and a
dbmail_auto_notifications table in the schema, as some kind of auto notification
support.

While the notification table method seems to work, it doesn't seem to produce
anything useful for the recipient, unless I'm missing something - the
configuration only allows for a single "from" address and a static subject. Are
there some substitutions or variables I'm missing for these parameters or are
the notifications limited to "a message arrived somewhere on the mailserver"...?
I am guessing I'm missing something but I'm struggling to find much more info
in the docs or via Google.

I read in these mailing lists that the table method is being removed from 2.4 in
favour of sieve notify, which is great, although I can't seem to find support
for sieve notify anywhere, on 2.2.12 at least. Creating a sieve script using
notify produces no output and a scattering of "Sieve notify is not supported in
this release." messages in the logs. Is notify definitely not supported in
2.2.12? Is it supported in the most recent 2.3? Is it dependant on the version
of libsieve 2.2/2.3 is compiled against?

I using the 2.2.12 source from the DBMail website to compile Debian packages on
i386 and amd64 using Etch-packages of libsieve (libsieve2-dev, 2.2.1-1).

Any help greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Kev

There you go. Ask Aaron to add notify support into libsieve.

Fixing auto_reply/auto_notify is not on my TODO list, unless someone is
willing to sponsor a fix/update of the code involved.
