Global Sieve script

[Shawn Bakhtiar]

Good afternoon all,

I am trying to configure a global sieve script to move all incoming emails to a particular folder. According to the following link this should be a slam dunk:

http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Cyrus_Sieve

http://oregonstate.edu/helpdocs/e-mail/onid-e-mail/modifying-your-email-filters-using-sieveshell

So here is what I did:

[shawn at postoffice ~]$ sieveshell -u shawn localhost
connecting to localhost
Please enter your password: 
> list
phpscript  <- active script
> get phpscript phpscript.txt
> exit

[shawn at postoffice ~]$ more phpscript.txt

if header :is "X-Spam-Flag" "YES"
{
fileinto  "INBOX.SPAM";
}


At this point I am a little baffled, since this should be moving all X-Spam-Flag that are YES into a folder INBOX.SPAM which does not exists at the top level (although I assume this means it should be filtered into each users individual SPAM folder). I am using Squirrelmail as a web based from end for my remote users and imagine the package manager must have installed this at some point. To simplify my life I re-wrote the script as:

require ["fileinto","envelope","reject","vacation","imapflags","relational","comparator-i;ascii-nume
ric","regex","notify"];
if exists "X-Spam-Flag" {
    if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES"
    {
    fileinto  "user.techsupport.SPAM";
    stop;
    }
}

then

[shawn at postoffice ~]$ sieveshell -u shawn localhost
connecting to localhost
Please enter your password: 
> put phpscript.txt phpscript
> list
phpscript  <- active script
> quit


However, users are still receiving emails marked as SPAM in their inbox. What I am trying to do is make it so that any and all emails marked as SPAM are redirected to a single folder called SPAM in the techsupport users mail store. 

Any help is greatly appreciated,  
Shawn
