It issues its diagnostics via syslog facility `mail'. > If I run it with my username at the end (why should I do > this if I run it as a user?) Because it is a local mailer: a program that is responsible for delivering mail to *various* users on the system. It is supposed to be executed by MTA with root privileges. > $ mail.local -S test.sieve jimis > blah blah Normally, the first input line is either a normal `From' envelope, or the beginning of the message body (headers). You don't need to execute mail.local yourself. All you need to do is to configure your MTA to use it as a local mailer. Then any user on the system can parse and redistribute his mail simply by creating an appropriately named Sieve (or Scheme) script in his home directory. This script will be executed by mail.local when delivering mail.
