matching bounce messages

2004-11-29 11:19:33

We're using the CMU Cyrus Sieve implementation. A few of our more advanced
users have asked how to identify bounce messages in a Sieve script. The
obvious doesn't work:

        if envelope :is "from" ""

The best phrasing we have seen is

        if not envelope :contains "from" "@"

which is a rather ugly circumlocution. RFC 3028 doesn't say anything about
null return paths, which is clearly an omission. As a result the Cyrus
behaviour is hard to classify as a bug.
