Something I will point out, procmail is more fully-featured than sieve, 
mostly by design. procmail can do anything you could do if you were logged 
into the machine and had a shell. sieve has limited powers.

So, it may not be possible to convert every procmail script to sieve.

Actually, he was attributing the attitude to others, right? ;-)

We have had some internal discussions about finding a tech writer. We seem 
to go through tech writers quickly, perhaps unlike developers they are 
less likely to tolerate subscale wages for a more relaxed environment, or 
perhaps as a tech writer their environment is not in fact more relaxed. I 
don't know, I haven't been involved in exit interviews for any of those we 
lost.

We're looking again, though I don't know that we've advertised a position.
