Sieve

[Robert Baruch]

OK, I'm also new to sieve - and afters much work, I've been able to get 
it running on my box using websieve. Here's the problem - it doesn't 
call my filters!!!

How can I tell where the problem lies? Is it postfix? is it cyrus? I'm 
stuck! Basically I see mail coming in via /var/log/mail.log but I don't 
see any filter processing...
