Read this in the dovecot sieve wiki:

"The envelope sender is taken from a Return-Path: header in the  
message. The envelope recipient is taken from -d option passed to  
deliver."

Is "-d" still a valid deliver switch?  When I configure postfix's  
main.cf like so...

mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d -e

..it sqwaks with, "Jun 18 18:44:50 G518X2 deliver(-e): net_connect(/ 
usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or  
directory"

when configured like so...   mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/ 
dovecot/deliver -e -d ${recipient}

..it burps with, "Jun 18 18:56:40 G518X2 postfix/local[19766]:  
3BBC16C96E0: to=<me at mydomain.com>, relay=local, delay=0,  
status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: Fatal:  
Missing destination argument )"

It doesn't like...   mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/ 
deliver -e -d "$recipient"   either!

Is -d required any longer... and if so, how, please.
