Right now only time for a quick look. Looks like yet another server
with yet another protocol (via port 4190), rather than integrated into
IMAP as an extension. I'm doubting all my email clients have support
for this.
You're wrong on it being another server; it does work within IMAP. But
you are right in that almost no clients support it. Mulberry and
thunderbird are the only ones I know of. However, there are web clients
that work and given that sieve scripts are rarely modified it probably
isn't too hard to justify forcing your user to go to a web page; much
more possible than forcing them to change mail readers.
Looks like I will need to do a lot of reading on Sieve and ManageSieve
to be sure it's safe. For one thing, I want to turn the vacation
feature off unless it can cross check a list of valid senders (user
contacts).
Not possible. You'd have to implement your own customized support
for that.
