Sieve not sieving...but why?

[Jamie Thompson]

Wow, you fixed it. Websieve is cool (and most importantly, it worked
first time), but I like to hand-edit things, so I looked at the script
it generated an a quick comparison of my previous script and it
revealed the problem.

I based my test script on the one found here:
http://www.cyrusoft.com/sieve/scripts/simple-anti-spam.txt

The only change between the hand-coded version and the generated one
based upon that document was the anyof and corresponding brackets
around the subject-line test:

WRONG: if header :contains "subject" "eply") {
RIGHT: if anyof (header :contains "subject" "eply") {

So it would seem that the sieve test program needs to be revised
somehow if its accepting invalid syntax. (I feel I should point out
that the test program was from 2.1.14, but I couldn't see any reason
the syntax would change...though I never did get sieve working on my
old 2.1.14 redhat installation, it may have been incorrect for some
time).

Regardless, many thanks, you've made me a happy man.
