Branch: pkgsrc-2020Q4, Version: 0.5.13, Package name: dovecot-pigeonhole-0.5.13, Maintainer: adam

This package is part of the Pigeonhole project (http://pigeonhole.dovecot.org).
It adds support for the Sieve language (RFC 5228) and the ManageSieve protocol
(RFC 5804) to the Dovecot Secure IMAP Server.

The Sieve language is used to specify how e-mail needs to be processed. By
writing Sieve scripts, users can customize how messages are delivered, e.g.
whether they are forwarded or stored in special folders. Unwanted messages can
be discarded or rejected, and, when the user is not available, the Sieve
interpreter can send an automated reply. Above all, the Sieve language is meant
to be simple, extensible and system independent. And, unlike most other mail
filtering script languages, it does not allow users to execute arbitrary
programs. This is particularly useful to prevent virtual users from having full
access to the mail store. The intention of the language is to make it impossible
for users to do anything more complex (and dangerous) than write simple mail
filters.

Using the ManageSieve protocol, users can upload their Sieve scripts remotely,
without needing direct filesystem access through FTP or SCP. Additionally,
aManageSieve server always makes sure that uploaded scripts are valid,
preventing compile failures at mail delivery.

This package provides Sieve support as a plugin to Dovecot's Local Delivery
Agent (LDA) and Dovecot's LMTP service. The ManageSieve protocol is provided is
an additional service, next to Dovecot's own POP3 and IMAP services.

   	- duplicate: The test was handled badly in a multiscript (sieve_before,
   	  sieve_after) scenario in which an earlier script in the sequence with
   	  a duplicate test succeeded, while a later script caused a runtime
   	  failure. In that case, the message is recorded for duplicate tracking,
   	  while the message may not actually have been delivered in the end.
   	- editheader: Sieve interpreter entered infinite loop at startup when
   	  the "editheader" configuration listed an invalid header name. This
   	  problem can only be triggered by the administrator.
   	- relational: The Sieve relational extension can cause a segfault at
   	  compile time. This is triggered by invalid script syntax. The segfault
   	  happens when this match type is the last argument of the test command.
   	  This situation is not possible in a valid script; positional arguments
   	  are normally present after that, which would prevent the segfault.
   	- sieve: For some Sieve commands the provided mailbox name is not
   	  properly checked for UTF-8 validity, which can cause assert crashes at
   	  runtime when an invalid mailbox name is encountered. This can be
   	  caused by the user by writing a bad Sieve script involving the
   	  affected commands ("mailboxexists", "specialuse_exists").
   	  This can be triggered by the remote sender only when the user has
   	  written a Sieve script that passes message content to one of the
   	  affected commands.
   	- sieve: Large sequences of 8-bit octets passed to certain Sieve
   	  commands that create or modify message headers that allow UTF-8 text
   	  (vacation, notify and addheader) can cause the delivery or IMAP
   	  process (when IMAPSieve is used) to enter a memory-consuming
   	  semi-infinite loop that ends when the process exceeds its memory
   	  limits. Logged in users can cause these hangs only for their own
   	  processes.
