Hi,
One thing which came up repeatedly is that clients using the IMAP server I run (using
Dovecot 2.1) wonder whether they broke their Sieve scripts, i.e. it often goes like
"I don't know whether I just didn't receive any mail, or whether my filters broke.
Can you check the logs?".
I then usually just run the sieve-test binary (part of the Pigeonhole
distribution) and send them the output. However, I was wondering - is there
maybe a way for them to try it themselves? Like, maybe a tiny web server which
just prints a form asking for a mail file and a sieve script, and then it runs
sieve-script and prints the output of that? I wonder how other people do that.
If you have Thunderbird, you may want to have them try out the Sieve
plug-in available at http://sieve.mozdev.org/
It auto-compiles and displays errors in the edit window.
The other thing we do is use RoundCube webmail (which has a sieve
plugin) and have our users edit their sieve scripts through that
instead. It's a form-based rules editor, so a bit harder for them to
goof it up.
