Error when using variables in sieve script about nixos-mailserver HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience. That indeed looks like the problem. I think we can fix this by putting single quotes around

Thanks for using SNM!

Yes, escaping the ${1} in the script works. I guess the way to go is to change line 63 in nixos-mailserver/mail-server/users.nix to cat << 'EOF' > "/var/sieve/${name}/default.sieve". This way cat should ignore all dollars.

Alternatively you could have a look at lib.pkgs.writeText. It seems to be used by most services in the nix store. But like your bash is weak, my nix is bad. So don't take my word for it.

@The-M1k3y Thanks for the verification.

@eqyiel do you have an opinion on which of the proposed solutions is better? Any reason you did not use a nix function to write the scripts?

@r-raymond I wasn't sure whether the files created by writeText would be garbage collected if I symlinked them here. If it's the same to you, please consider #73

@The-M1k3y I've tried the example mentioned in the PR, but could you please see if it works for you too?
