[Dovecot] Cannot get dovecot-sieve to work

I only want to accept emails with GRE:99 as the subject, I'm not interested in any other mails.
However when I send myself an email via the mail command all emails go into my INBOX whatever the subject is.
I don't really get any info in the logs either:

Im sure my .dovecot.sieve is not getting processed but I cannot prove it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Do you have a .dovecot.sievec (Note the 'c' at the end) file?
Did you configured your MTA to use Dovecot deliver as LDA? http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA

We have dovecot already setup and it receives mail as desired. The organisation now only wants mail with the correct subject header to appear in the inbox. I am not aware that I have to change the config within sendmail for this.
No I do not have a .dovecot.sievec file I'm afraid. When I run sievec on the .dovecot.sieve it creates a .dovecot.svbin
Many thanks, Nick.

Your sieve file will be processed at delivery time, when the MTA (f.i. postfix) will hand off mail to the dovecot LDA, deliver. Your log file shows only activity about an IMAP login. This has no use in debugging your problem.
- Check your MTA config and see if it calls deliver
- Send yourself a mail
- Check MTA logs and see if handing the mail to deliver works as intended
- Check dovecot logs for activity from deliver.

Were using sendmail as the MTA. I have edited sendmail.cf as documented at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail. However this documentation states the following:
"The following describes how to configure Sendmail to use deliver where root permission is not granted and Dovecot runs under a single user ID. It may need some adjustment for more typical setups. Other assumptions are that Sendmail is configured for virtual hosting and that local-system mail delivery is not handled by deliver."
Our sendmail setup is not configured for virtual hosting.
Here is what I have put in sendmail.cf
Mdovecot, P=/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=deliver -d $u
I restarted both sendmail and dovecot but still my test emails do not get processed by dovecot/dovecot-sieve. There is nothing in the dovecot or sendmail logs pointing to dovecot-sieve.
All I want to do is discard mail depending on the subject.
Any help appreciated, Many thanks Nick.

Right, I've ditched sendmail and were now running postfix.
Here's my .dovecot.sieve
require "fileinto"; if not header :contains "subject" "ORG:11" { fileinto "discard"; stop; }
When I send a mail without "ORG:11" in the header, the mail goes into the discard folder, great. However when I send a mail with "ORG:11" in the header I get the following error:

If Dovecot is the only process accessing /var/mail/file, you could:

Hi Steffan
thank you for the pointers, however I have decided to move over to postfix. I have sent a message with a new error to the list.
Thanks Nick
