Cyrus Sieve

Cyrus Sieve is an implementation of the Sieve mail filtering language (RFC 3028).

Mail filtering occurs on delivery of the message (within lmtpd).

Cyrus 2.2 compiles sieve scripts to bytecode to reduce the overhead of parsing the scripts fully inside of lmtpd.

Sieve scripts can be placed either by the timsieved daemon (implementing the ManageSieve? protocol, this is the prefered options since it allows for syntax checking) or in the user's home directory as a .sieve file.
