Cyrus + Sieve

[Gottschalk, David]

Well, this is interesting.

I tested one of my reject rules (to make sure I'm not crazy), and it replied the rejected message to my inbox, not to the sender.

Is that normal behavior?

Sure, I missed the detail that reject works for you.

Well, then I'm also out of ideas.
If you want to make sure it has nothing to do with duplicate db, then you
could stop cyrus, "mv deliver.db deliver.db.old" and start cyrus. Then try
it again.
