Hello, I have a problem that periodically crops up, then usually goes away and I never get around to diagnosing the root cause of it. It seems to be triggered whenever I set a vacation/out of office message. When I enable a vacation message, messages that would normally be filed into folders start appearing in my INBOX. It becomes annoying quickly when you come back and have to sort through 300+ messages to find the things you want to see (other mail is list mail and system log messages). Normally, disabling the vacation notification solves the problem but this time it didn't.
What I find even stranger is there appears to be no rhyme or reason for letting one message be filtered and another not. I'm getting a lot of virus notifications for the latest version of the Bagle worm. The majority of these are filed into my virus folder. A few end up in my INBOX. All should be caught by the same sieve script but aren't. Same with list mail and system log messages. The bulk are filtered properly but a few sneak through into my INBOX. The messages that come through appear to be identical in nature to the messages that are filed. It appears as if Sieve gets periodicaly overwhelmed, and just gives up on filtering for short periods of time. I haven't been able to rule out that there's a bug in the program that I use to generate the scripts (Ingo 1.0.1 from the Horde project). So I'm wondering if there is a way I can take a message that made it by Sieve, and somehow run Sieve in test mode, in much the same manner you can test ClamAV or SpammAssassin on a message and have it report back what the results are for a single message. I'd like to have it run through my sieve script, show me the matches and then tell me what it would have done with the message. Short of there being a bug in the script itself, does anyone else have any ideas why Sieve behaves erratically, apparently triggered by turning vacation notices on, and then will eventually clear itself up?
