I never did work out the new syntax, so I kept the older and so far it 
is working fine with v2.2.13. I did have to remove the old compiled 
versions of the Sieve scripts to get things working.

I had at least one case (one specific account) where the script was 
recompiled automatically, but for the other accounts I did have to nuke 
the *.svbin file to force a recompilation of the Sieve scripts. Only in 
one case was a message logged (with debug mode enabled) re a version 
mismatch and the script recompiled automatically.

It may not be the best way to do it, but this is what I did:

rm -i $(find . -type f /var/vmail/sieve/example.com/ | grep svbin)

After that the scripts began working as expected (using the older syntax 
which I mentioned in the last email). If anyone has any suggestions for 
updating the syntax for those configuration options I'd appreciate it. I 
couldn't make heads or tails of it. Everything I thought should work 
didn't.
