i'm taking a look at developing smoke tests for this use case now. i've made progress but i'm developing the tooling concurrently which means it's relatively slow going. if you upgrade to the latest source, you'll see a commented out example for SieveMailet. uncommented that may direct the incoming mail to IMAP (but i don't have tests to prove this yet). - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
