Sieve filtering is done by Cyrus' lmtpd daemon, IIRR. The timsieved
daemon exists only to provide a networked way to install and set sieve

Every time I've had a script fail, it's been due to people moving
mailboxes, so the script action can't be taken, or due to people who
hand edit their scripts (mostly me) sticking a typo in them and borking
the  parser...
