This one has some helpful examples, if that's what you're looking for: http://wiki.fastmail.fm/wiki/index.php/SieveExamples The command "sieveshell --help" gives the main parameters for activating or deactivating scripts. It's really pretty simple to use. :) Fish

Hi again Mark, Please exucuse this ignorance, but where in the Suse do you edit/place the sieve scripts??? I find a sieve filder in /var/lib, but it contains a folder for each alphabet, all seem empty. I find a sieve txt file in /etc/pam.d/ but not sure it this is the place. Thanks, Jim

Sieve scripts must be loaded with sieveshell. The source text can be anywhere. Sandy -- List replies only please! Please address PMs to: news-reply2 (@) japantest (.) homelinux (.) com

Cyrus is designed to be a "sealed system" and the scripts are placed inside the server, so to speak. It is not like procmail where you drop your recipes in a home folder. Write your script and call it whatever you want. Then go sieveshell -u username localhost Username is the name of the Cyrus user for whom the script should work - e.g. Fred. Localhost assumes that localhost is a valid realm for your server. Now enter the Cyrus password for that user. Next you get a > prompt. To see all the options, go help. Otherwise go put /path/to/yourscript and that's it. Cyrus uploads the script to the server and checks its syntax. It will tell you if the script fails to parse. As you will see, there are other commands, too, if you have more than one script in the server for the user. When finished go quit. Works here, anyway. :) Fish

In addition to that, I find Smartsieve (http://smartsieve.sourceforge.net/) the easiest way to set up and manage my sieve scripts. Web-based, no cmdline, can't be beat. Erik

Wow that looks a good one, at least compared to my efforts which have all been command-line. :) Fish

That does look interesting. I'm still looking into the cmdline method, but will check that out soonest. Tks, Jim
