[Dovecot] A little assistance with Sieve

OK.  I've put that in.

Here's the latest managesieve session:
OK "Logged in."
CAPABILITY
"IMPLEMENTATION" "dovecot"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress
relational comparator-i;ascii-numeric regex"
OK "Capability completed."
PUTSCRIPT ".dovecot.sieve" {2049+}
LOGOUT

BYE "Server shutting down."
imap(root): Info: Server shutting down

o_stream_send_istream(/home/cam/sieve/tmp/.dovecot.sieve-1207578536.P26366Q0M617889.treehouse.sieve)

I got it to shut down with Ctrl-C
I do not understand the last message.

That's where I went - very helpful indeed - and I copied what you have
there almost verbatim.

Here are the relevant bits of dovecot.conf:

protocol imap {
    listen = *
    ssl_listen = *
    ssl_disable = no
    login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
    mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/rawlog /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
    mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/imap
    log_path = /var/log/dovecot/imaplog
    info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/imaplog
}
protocol lda {
    postmaster_address = postmaster at ellisonpsychology.ca
    sieve_global_path = /var/mail/.global.sieve
    script_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve
    mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
    mail_plugins = cmusieve
    mail_debug = yes
    log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog
    info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog

}
protocol managesieve {
    listen = *:2000
    login_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve-login
    mail_executable = /usr/lib/dovecot/managesieve
    sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
    sieve_storage = ~/sieve
    mail_debug = yes
    log_path = /var/log/dovecot/managesievelog
    info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/managesievelog
}

Thank you very much for the help.
