Note that the anyof() commands are only necessary when you have multiple tests per if command. Also, I removed the envelope require, since it is not used.
Out of interest is the conditional around
if true { redirect :copy "alice@domain.com"; }necessary? Does a plain inline
redirect :copy "alice@domain.com";not behave in exactly the same manner? These are identical. Some people (or rather their GUI-based editors) use unconditional if-statements to temporarily disable/enable certain sections of a script.
By the looks of it, this was generated by the sieverules plugin for the RoundCube webmail client. In this case it looks more like a limitation of the script generator, meaning that it doesn't omit the if statement when the rule is unconditional.
Other than that, the if true {...} statement is completely useless and adds nothing to the semantics of the script.
I'm afraid it's a while since I read RFC 5228 (Sieve) and I was unfamiliar with RFC 3894 (:copy) but on scanning through them I can't see anything to indicate that behaviour should differ inside and outside an "if".
So I suppose my question is does "redirect :copy" have different behaviour based on whether it is inline or inside an "if"? Conclusion: no.
