I did not enable SIS at all. Do you mean that setting mail_location =
mdbox... enables it? I did not think so. I just thought I was using the
matured dbox facility, and in my mind I was clear I wasn't doing anything
SIS related, honestly;)
Now, assume that I haven't heard of SIS, but I am a mad guy who just decided
to use the mercurial code that has SIS, can I just use mdbox or sdbox
without necessarily invoking the anger of SIS? What options do I need in
mail_location for just that?
I believe I already got what it takes on the MTA side, from the wiki.

This is the exim transport that I use. It works with the RC3 but not the
SIS-ised Dovecot.
