[imapfilter-devel] move/copy problem

[Michael M. Tung]

Hi all,

I found a work around to my previous problem, which nevertheless I still don't
understand since the copy_messages command in the old script erroneously reports
that files are copied.

Now I am using the following code

------------------------------------------------------------------------

all = myserver.INBOX:select_all()
spam = Set {}
unsure = Set {}
  for _, mesg in ipairs(all) do
	mbox, uid = unpack(mesg)
	text = mbox[uid]:fetch_message()
	flag = pipe_to('bogofilter', text)
	if (flag == 0) then
	  table.insert(spam, mesg)
        elseif (flag == 2) then
          table.insert(unsure, mesg)
        end
  end

myserver['INBOX']:move_messages(myserver['Junk'], spam)
myserver['INBOX']:copy_messages(myserver['Junk/Unsure'], unsure)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, I am running exactly this same config on two different machines
(with identical versions IMAPFilter 2.2.2, bogofilter v1.2.1 and
Oracle Berkeley db 4.7.25). On one machine it works as expected and the
other machine gives the error:

imapfilter: bogotest5.lua:26: required argument left out

Line 26 is the line containing "flag = pipe_to('bogofilter', text)".
What is going wrong here???

Any hint to solve this mystery is appreciated.
Best,
      Mike
