i can't find a trace of any sieve mgmt services in dovecot as yet, and haven't 
found anything in this list ... so, if i *am* missing it, if someone would be 
kind enuf to point me in the right direction, i'd appreciate it!  8-}

in the meantime, a little more info for those interested ...

the latest spec for sieve management, "A Protocol for Remotely Managing Sieve 
Scripts", can be found at:

    <http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-martin-managesieve-05.txt>

iiuc, one of the authors, Tim Martin / Mirapoint Inc., is the "Tim" of 
"timsieved" -- Cyrus' ManageSIEVE 'server' bundled with cyrus-imap.

i can strip timesieved it out of a successful build of cyrus-imap, but it seems 
to be dependent on cyrus-sasl ... as such, i'm not sure how to integrate it 
with dovecot's SASL auth methods.

i have a feeling that such fuctionality would have to be re-implemented in 
dovecot alongside of sieve itself ... and probably should, if it were to be 
included.

the courier-imap mailing lists also have folks searching for an alternative to 
timsieved ...
