[Dovecot] Cannot get dovecot-sieve to work

Hi all

  sieve: ~/.dovecot.sieve

  sieve_dir: ~/

  log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log

 

Here is my ~/.dovecot.sieve

 

$ cat .dovecot.sieve

require "fileinto";

if not header :contains "subject" "GRE:99" {

  discard;

  stop;

} else {

  keep;

}

 

I only want to accept emails with GRE:99 as the subject, I'm not
interested in any other mails.

 

However when I send myself an email via the mail command all emails go
into my INBOX whatever the subject is.

 

I don't really get any info in the logs either:

Im sure my .dovecot.sieve is not getting processed but I cannot prove
it.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Nick .
