Hi Robert,

I used the Debian for Doevcot 1.2, but I did not think that it included
Dovecot Sieve.  Hence I am trying to find it.

I did read that the postfix master.cf entry for dovecot had to be
modified by adding the -a option.  My current one has:
dovecot-spamass   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
    flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u ${recipient} -e
/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient}

This is so that it uses spamc to add some Headers to it - I would like
Sieve to read these and then take an action.

I added the -a option:-  ( from http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve )
dovecot-spamass   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
    flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/bin/spamc -u ${recipient} -e
/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -a -d ${recipient}
and it broke it:

, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: Fatal:
Unknown argument: test at test.info Usage: deliver [-c <config file>] [-a
<address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>]                [-f <envelope
sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-n] [-s] [-e] [-k] )

Obviously, I had to add the -a with a value such as recipient, yet I
already have $recipient with the -d option.  Would it work if I added :
/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -a ${recipient}  -d ${recipient}
?

Regards.
