Checking the PGP signature is always a good idea, especially nowadays when so many software packages have been trojaned.

All releases since 2.4.0 are signed with public key 4EDC5219 (full signature: EF08 8207 9FD4 ED32 BF8B 23B2 A1B0 9EF8 4ED C5219), which can be found at https://repo.dovecot.org/DOVECOT-REPO-GPG-2.4.

Plugins ​

The latest Mercurial revisions of the Sieve interpreter include plugin support. Currently, the following plugins are under development and provided separately:

  • Enotify XMPP (not released; obsolete; download from repository for version v0.1)

    This plugin adds the new xmpp notification method (RFC 5437) for the enotify extension (RFC 5435). Using this plugin, users can make the Sieve interpreter send XMPP (Jabber) notifications. It is not finished and only published for those that are curious to test it. Development continues only for Dovecot v2.3. Refer to the README and INSTALL files for installation instructions.

  • Sieve Extdata (not released; download from repository for version v0.1/ v0.2/ v0.3/ v0.4/ v0.5/ development)

    This plugin adds support for accessing string data from a Dovecot dict lookup. This plugin is experimental and defines a vendor-specific extension to the Sieve language. This plugin is under active development and may change significantly in the near future. It is published mainly for evaluation. Refer to the INSTALL and README files for installation and usage instructions. The extension provided by this plugin (vnd.dovecot.extdata) is documented here.

  • Sieve Pipe (not released; obsolete; download from repository for version v0.2)

    This plugin provides an extension to the Sieve filtering language adding a new action command for piping messages to a pre-defined set of external programs. To mitigate the security concerns, the external programs cannot be chosen arbitrarily; the available programs are restricted through administrator configuration. This plugin is experimental and defines a vendor-specific extension to the Sieve language. For newer versions of Pigeonhole this plugin is superseded by the Sieve Extprograms plugin (see below). Refer to the INSTALL and README files for installation and usage instructions. The extension provided by this plugin (vnd.dovecot.pipe) is documented here.

  • Sieve Extprograms (part of Pigeonhole v0.4 release; download from repository for version v0.3)

    This plugin adds support for the Dovecot-specific vnd.dovecot.pipe, vnd.dovecot.filter and vnd.dovecot.execute extensions. These extensions add new action commands for invoking a predefined set of external programs (typically shell scripts). Messages can be piped to or filtered through those programs and string data can be input to and retrieved from those programs. To mitigate the security concerns, the external programs cannot be chosen arbitrarily; the available programs are restricted through administrator configuration. This plugin is experimental and defines a vendor-specific extension to the Sieve language. For Pigeonhole v0.3, refer to the INSTALL and README files for installation and usage instructions. The extensions provided by this plugin are documented here.
