Mail filter migration
I am attempting to migrate users mail filters from:
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1 (built May 7 2001)
to:
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.3-0.15 (built Feb 9 2007).
The 5.1 mail filters were created through the Delegated Administrator link in Messenger Express. Here is what I have tried so far:
Using ldapsearch I queried a user account that I know has a mailSieveRuleSource attribute defined on the old DS. I specified the output to be ldif. I copied the base64 encoded value of the mailSieveRuleSource attribute and using ldapmodify I added the value to an entry in the new DS as shown:
# ldapmodify -D"cn=directory manager" -w password
dn: uid=test,ou=People,o=xyz.edu,dc=xyz,dc=edu
changetype: modify
add: mailsieverulesource

modifying entry uid=test,ou=People,o=xyz.edu,dc=xyz,dc=edu
I then logged into UWC on the new system and went to Options | Mail | Mail Filters and I get the following error:
Invalid filter format. Please contact your help desk for support.
Did I copy the value over correctly?
Has the sieve syntax changed from the old version to the new?
If so, is there some conversion utility available?
