### User-defined sieve filters
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Sieve](http://sieve.info/) allows to specify filtering rules for incoming emails that allow for example sorting mails into different folders depending on the title of an email.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To specify a user-defined Sieve filter place a `.dovecot.sieve` file into a virtual user's mail folder e.g. `/var/mail/domain.com/user1/.dovecot.sieve`. If this file exists dovecot will apply the filtering rules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An example of a sieve filter that moves mails to a folder `INBOX/spam` depending on the sender address:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
require ["fileinto", "reject"];
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
if address :contains ["From"] "spam@spam.com" {
|
||
|
|
fileinto "INBOX.spam";
|
||
|
|
} else {
|
||
|
|
keep;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
***Note:*** that folders have to exist beforehand if sieve should move them.
|
||
|
|
