Struggling with sieve, fileinto and variables.

Thanks for that. Turns out it was an issue with exim stripping the local part suffix from the envelope before passing over lmtp to dovecot. Fixed in the exim router config!

Although if you turn on trace with spamtest it does result in a crash during mail receipt:

lmtp(test at test.net)<7988><cDK3ADztDls0HwAANIsFaQ>: Panic: Unsupported 0x30 specifier starting at #38 in 'extracted score=%.3f, max=%.3f, ratio=%.0f %%'

At least my problem is fixed - so thank you!

This happens for a reason, which you can either find in your syslog or
in the user log file (e.g. ~/.dovecot.sieve -> ~/.dovecot.sieve.log).

You can also get a trace for the live server:
