I read the sieve-filter man page so I'll speculate. Granted, I
still don't fully understand how sieve and virtual users work as I
have never set this up.<br>
<br>
"postmaster" is an alias of root and "vmail" is probably just a
directory name. So, from the root's command prompt, the
environment variables probably aren't totally set up for
sieve-filter to understand virtual users.<br>
<br>
So, working from the command prompt, you probably have to explicitly
specify the .sieve path and leave off the -u argument<br>

<br>
</span></span>Would is be great if seive-filter had an argument to
understand the system's virual user's settings? Of course. I don't
know why the developer haven't included it.<br>
