I'm using an unofficial cyrus package (1.6.24-2), and inside there are
two programs: "installsieve" to install the user sieve script and
"timsieved", the server that allows users to remotly manage their sieve
scripts.
I've found an RFC that explain how to use the sieve language, and with a
little of trial and error i was able to correctly set a vacation rule
with sieve. The trickiest part was to configure postfix to use cyrus as
deliver agent with the "lmtp" protocol...

I use "installsieve" with a bunch of line options... =)

the progress.
