Greetings!

I feel like this has been beaten to death, but my searches on the web (and about 10 hours spent over the last two days) haven't revealed what's going on.

Basically, it's the usual "I'd like to auto-learn spam/ham based on moves to/from a folder" problem. But in my debugging, I don't see any evidence that the static rules are matching, so the scripts aren't running, which makes me think I'm missing something obvious.

Below I list doveconf -n output, and some log snippets. In my experiments, I've tried removing the report-spam.sieve and report-ham.sieve scripts, and absolutely nothing changed, which is why I think the rules aren't being tried.

The requisite doveconf -n output:

I see that the static rule ought to have matched, but it didn't?
