Hi,

Ok, then I'll post here.   

I asked because it is only now, after three weeks of trying to
understand Sieve and how to filter spam out, that I realised that one
needs a separate programme to enable Sieve in Dovecot.  I had thought
that it was included in Dovecot ,abd one only had to enable a plugin
reference in the dovecot.conf.   Because another programme has to be
installed, I had thought that it was not part of Dovecot proper, and
would need to be addressed to another list.  I know that I shall run
into Sieve related config problems, but did not want to burden this list
with these.

However, I compiled Dovecot Sieve and installed it into the default of
/usr/local, and it looks like I have a second installation of Dovecot
:(  I downloaded Sieve from wget
http://dovecot.org/releases/1.2/dovecot-1.2.16.tar.gz.  Looks like the
install guide I found that said to install Sieve had a typo' and the URL
was for the whole of Dovecot.

i) Does anyone know where I can download Dovecot Sieve from?  
ii) Is there a way of removing all the files I installed from the
previous 'make instal'l I did?   I tried a 'make uninstall', but this
did not remove everything.

I know this looks compleatly braindead to anyone else reading this
list...  myself included ... buts too late ( in both cases ).
