Dear all,

i deleted a user a while ago and as expected he is not in the database anymore and the directory under /var/vmail/vmail1... is deleted, too. After a few month i created a new user with the same name and i realized that the sieve rules in /var/vmail/sieve... still exists (like for all of the deleted users). A problem on my side only or can someone confirm? It would be nice, if that would be deleted with iredadmin(Pro), too.

Best Regards

Re: User deleted, sieve rules not

there are global sieve rules and local (for each user)

the one in /var/vmail/sieve/dovecot.sieve is a global (sieve before) rule that affects all mailboxes and is used to move spam mails into the spam folder

Re: User deleted, sieve rules not

Dear Cthulhu,

thanks for your reply.
It's not about the global sieve-rule, i 'll try to explain again.

I have a user with the emailadress user@example.com. If you delete the user in iredadmin, the users directory in the filesystem - in my case /var/vmail/vmail1/example.com/u/s/e/user... -  will be deleted, too (like the next day or whatever you choosed during the deleting process).
His personal sieve rules, which are stored in /var/vmail/sieve/example.com/user/ will not be deleted.
So when creating a user with the same name years later, the old sieve rules will match for him. I was wondering why the personal sieve rules would not get deleted by iredadmin ...
