Topic: Filtering mailing lists and stuff to selected IMAP folders...

[NomadOfNorad]

Well, I've just placed a bunch of filter criteria into the system at the server, and then turned OFF the filtering system for those mailing lists in Thunderbird...

It's not working!  All the messages are simply showing up in the Inbox, they're not getting moved into the specified folder for the given mailing list...

BTW, when I installed the above add-ons, I got this error here on the first one, and this error here on the second one.  Could that have something to do with filtering not working, or is it just a red herring?

In both instances, the error was:

not well-formed (invalid token) at line 6, column 36, byte 135 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/i386-linux-thread-multi/XML/Parser.pm line 187

...and in both instances, the install completed anyway.  And of course, I did the usual reconfigure and reboot at the end of each.

For the install errors I suggest you take it to the bug track. The contrib author will get an email highlighting the issue.

As for it not sorting mail, you have a line in your screen shot saying " Mail sorting on this server has been disabled ......."

I don't know why. Did you do this bit...

In particular...

db configuration setprop qmail FilterType procmail

signal-event mailsorting-conf

Hmmmm.... I can't find that line in either screenshot...  Where are you looking on it?  And which one of the two screenshots is it?

Should I run those two lines you listed, or are you thinking I might have but shouldn't have?

edit: Oh, wait, it was on a screengrab, not the digital-camera-shots...  I see it now...

The 'click here for the picture' screen shot.

I think you have not and that you should run them.

[NomadOfNorad]

Just run those two?  Only?

[william_syd]

Yes, just those two in green.

As for digital camera shots, have you tried putty so you can do your configuration changes from your Windows box?

[NomadOfNorad]

Okay, I've run the two lines in green.

So, this Putty thing...  is it something akin to a telnet server?

Naw.... more like a secure Telnet client.

And a companion program for transferring files...

You will need to enable SSH access at the Remote Access Server-Manager screen.

After you have it working using username/passwords you then want to transition to public/private keys.

Did you lose the "Mailsorting is disabled....." message?

Did you lose the "Mailsorting is disabled....." message?

Yes.  It's gone.
