Set up per user sieve rules

[Austin Witmer]

Thanks Shawn for your reply. I am a novice at this as well!

I should clarify that I have my user database in PostgreSQL.

The maildirs are at /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/austin

See below. What am I doing wrong?

austin at mail:/mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/austin$ ls -la

Can anyone else chip in here to help me out?

Thanks so much!
