Hey, question for those who may know. I am running the latest Mailcow (2023-07a) and would like to set up the following: - Get an email sent to an alias (like `inquiries@domain.com`) - Have it forwarded to a tagged inbox (`my-email+Inquiries@domain.com`) - Since the recipient is tagged, it gets put into the `INBOX/Inquiries` subfolder based on the settings I have for my inbox. This works for regular email sent directly to the tagged address, but the alias still ends up in my Inbox directly. Any ideas on how to get the workflow I want? Thanks!

Tagging rules not followed for an alias

Hey, question for those who may know. I am running the latest Mailcow (2023-07a) and would like to set up the following:

Get an email sent to an alias (like inquiries@domain.com)
Have it forwarded to a tagged inbox (my-email+Inquiries@domain.com)
Since the recipient is tagged, it gets put into the INBOX/Inquiries subfolder based on the settings I have for my inbox.

This works for regular email sent directly to the tagged address, but the alias still ends up in my Inbox directly. Any ideas on how to get the workflow I want?

Thanks!

I have the same use case / problem:
https://community.mailcow.email/d/2668-aliases-and-recipient-delimiter
But until now no answer.

You can change the global postfilter for sieve:
From:
if allof ( envelope :detail :matches "to" "*", header :contains "X-Moo-Tag" "YES" ) { set :lower "tag" "${1}"; if mailboxexists "INBOX/${1}" { fileinto "INBOX/${1}"; } else { fileinto :create "INBOX/${tag}"; } }

To:

if allof ( envelope :detail :matches "to" "*", header :contains "X-Moo-Tag" "YES" ) { set :lower "tag" "${1}"; if mailboxexists "INBOX/${1}" { fileinto "INBOX/${1}"; } else { fileinto :create "INBOX/${tag}"; } } else { if envelope :detail :matches "to" "*" { fileinto :create "INBOX/${1}"; } }

Had another go on this problem and after reading up quite some stuff about Seive, my final solution looks like that:

if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
  fileinto "Junk";
}
# header :contains "X-Moo-Tag" "YES"
 set :lower :upperfirst "tag" "${1}";
 if mailboxexists "INBOX/${tag}" {
    fileinto "INBOX/${tag}";
  } else {
    fileinto :create "INBOX/${tag}";
  }
}

if duplicate {
  discard;
  stop;
}

In my opinion, the header “X-Moo-Tag” never gets set by Mailcow (see #)– so the clause (asking for it) fails and never triggers the whole creation/filing of the mail. Not sure, why the “X-Moo-Tag” was added to the clause.

I cleared up the use of the variable for the subaddressing tag, so all works now as expected.
