I'm getting some really strange sieve parse errors in my syslogs. Here is
an error message I got (sorry for the length):

But these error messages make no sense because my .sieve file looks
nothing like this. My .sieve file is only 22 lines long for one.
However, another one of my users (mcnameec) has been playing with his
.sieve file today, generating plenty of sieve parse errors in the logs,
and his .sieve file contains lines similar to these errors.
This also happened to another user:
Sep 10 12:51:21 mail1 lmtpd[27199]: sieve parse error for crops: line 10: address
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]; } elsif header :contains ': parse error, unexpected $undefined.,
expecting $
Sep 10 12:51:21 mail1 lmtpd[27199]: sieve parse error for crops: line 13: address
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]': parse error, unexpected $undefined., expecting '<'
Sep 10 12:51:21 mail1 lmtpd[27199]: sieve parse error for crops: line 15: parse error,
unexpected ';', expecting STRING
Sep 10 12:51:21 mail1 lmtpd[27199]: sieve parse error for crops: line 17: address
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]': parse error, unexpected '@', expecting '<'
Again, "crops" has a single line in his .sieve file which redirects to
another email address, so these error messages can't be from him.
It looks to me like sieve is getting confused somehow, but it doesn't seem
to be repeatable. Any advice? Anything I can do to help track this down?
I'm running cyrus-imapd 2.1.15 and cyrus-sasl 2.1.15 on Debian stable.
Thanks,
Andy
