Sieve doesn't add flags unless it is explicitly told to do so. The behavior you describe is therefore quite bizarre, especially since using removeflag seems to provide a workaround. What does your full Sieve script look like? What is your full configuration? Do you perhaps return a sieve_before setting from userdb? Regards, Stephan.
