Sieve script won't compile. Compiler output isn't helpful.

Hi Steven,

I think you may be missing the :contains from the two header lines 
below:

> if anyof (header "From" "store-news at amazon.com",
>          envelope :contains "From" "menswearhouse.com",
>          envelope :contains "From" "officedepot.com",
>          envelope :contains "From" "walgreens.com",
>          header "From" "promo at email.newegg.com") {
>     fileinto :create "Promo";
>     stop;

if anyof (header :contains "From" "store-news at amazon.com",
           envelope :contains "From" "menswearhouse.com",
           envelope :contains "From" "officedepot.com",
           envelope :contains "From" "walgreens.com",
           header :contains "From" "promo at email.newegg.com") {
      fileinto :create "Promo";
      stop;

Hope that helps

Best Regards

Martin
