seive question for cyrus 2.2.12

[Eric Smith]

I am not able to run the following sieve rules successfully on cyrus  
2.2.12. It is created by alievsieve a plugin to squirrelmail.

A vacation script:

true
{
vacation :days 7 :addresses ["eric at techsoft3d.com"] text:
This is an automated reply; I am away and will not be able to reply  
to you immediately.I will get back to you as soon as I return.
.
;
stop;
}


A reject with reason:

true
{
reject text:
Please do not send me large attachments.
.
;
stop;
}


Looking over the changes from 2.2.12 to 2.3.X I noticed that there  
are some new sieve enhancements. In particular this,

The $text$ variable for Sieve notify messages is now supported.

Am I right in thinking that 2.2.X will not run this but 2.3.X will?

Best

Eric
