Something odd going on. I'm using the following recipe and it's
working for incoming mail but not mail sent via deliver(1). Postfix is
my MTA (delivery via lmtp socket).
  require "reject";

  if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES" {
    discard;
  }

I looked at the message sent by deliver and the "X-Sieve" header
exists so apparently sieve was run. I also ran the 'test' program
in the sieve directory against the bytecode of the message above:
  $ ./sievec sieve.spam sieve.spam.bc
  $ ./test test.msg sieve.spam.bc
  discarding message 'test.msg'
