[Dovecot] Sieve problem with managesieve

[Michael Kliewe]

Hi,

"header :is From"  compares against the whole From: header. You only  
want to test the containing email address. See

address
This lets you match on only an address field's email address, not its  
associated name. For example, I could send an email as "John Smith" <jsmith at example.com 
 >. The test header "From" :is "jsmith at example.com" would be false  
because that is not the entire header. But address "From" :is "jsmith at example.com 
" would be true because that is the entire address.

Check the RFC and search for "address", there you will find  
explanations and examples
