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:
