What I did when encountering a similar issue was to take one of the messages
from INBOX that should have been moved elsewhere and use sieve-test on it:
sieve-test -Tlevel=matching <sieve source file> <message file>
That generates a lot of output as it goes through every line of the sieve file
and shows the actual values that are used for the tests. However, it pointed
out my problem quite clearly.
Thank you for this.
Actually, after many hours of head-bashing, I discovered the problem.
sieve doesn't work when you're just using telnet port 25 !
I was doing :
ehlo test
mail from:sen...@example.com
rcpt to:re...@example.com
data
Subject: hello world
Hello World !
.
With the above, sieve was simply sending everything to INBOX
When I changed my methodology :
ehlo test
mail from:sen...@example.com
rcpt to:re...@example.com
data
From:<sen...@example.com>
To:<re...@example.com>
Subject: hello world
Hello World !
.
It worked as expected.
