I'd expect this to end in some sort of error message. Is there a /var/log/dovecot.error or something like that? You can verify where things are logged using
sudo doveadm log find.output of doveadm log find Looking for log files from /var/log Debug: /var/log/dovecot.log Info: /var/log/dovecot.info Warning: /var/log/maillog Error: /var/log/maillog Fatal: /var/log/maillog
I have listed below the section of /var/log/maillog which appears to be relevant . (domain changed for privacy)

There are other mails with the same "invalid address `postmaster@' to other users. Is a postmaster address is required for sieve to work.? if so where should it go. is it the sieve_user_email declaration ? thanks.
Aha! So, you tripped over a 2.3.1 bug. The best way to work around this is by setting a proper explicit value for the global postmaster_address setting (https://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA). So, Pigeonhole does not define this setting; it is defined by Dovecot LDA/LMTP.

Stephan.
Brilliant. that fixed it. the scripts are running again, and my test, and out of office is working. So it is just that there is no default for that field, and the example comments need to be updated. (i just checked the 2.3.4 source and the example 15-lda.conf still implies a default, or has the behaviour been fixed in newer versions so it works?) I'll let the slackware build maintainer know so it can be added to the readme for 2.3.1 version.
many thanks everyone for your assistance. regards, Tim
