[Dovecot] Debugging sieve-options

[Chris Vogel]

Hey Jens,

the big picture is: 

The sieve plugin works with deliver. Deliver is the lda
(local delivery agent), which comes with Dovecot. To use
it you need to configure your mailer (postfix / exim /
sendmail) to deliver emails using Dovecots deliver instead
of writing to users maildirs or mailfiles directly.

To use the managesieve protocol you need a patch to 
Dovecot - the MANAGESIEVE patch. You'll find a lot of
information about it in the mailing lists archive and there
are links in the Wiki.

You should start reading about lda deliver in the Wiki.
Once you've got sieve working you can start to worry about
managesieve :).

Good luck!

Chris.
