No, I never found something strange. That why I began thinking about my expectations were wrong regarding how sieve replication is supposed to work.

Nothing strange as well.

This I didn't try :-(

Yes, absolutely identical. Same config, same hg revisions, same OS, etc.

Well, I do feel like an idiot! I swear, sieve replication never ran as expected, I always had to do it the way mentioned above. Today, after compiling brand new dovecot, sieve replication works as expected and as you confirmed it should work. I really tried hard to reproduce my issue, but: to no avail ;-) No idea whether those last minute revisions made the trick or something else …

So I feel very sorry having bothered you without real cause :-(

Thanks and with kind regards,
