Package: dovecot-common
Version: 1:1.0.14-1
Severity: wishlist

I'm trying to use Avelsieve with Dovecot managesieve, to generate
sieve scripts for exim.  This almost works, except for one thing:
Dovecot reports a fixed ManageSieve CAPABILITIES string, that includes
several caps (reject, imapflags, relational, regex, notify) that exim
doesn't support.  The client (Avelsieve) dutifully copies those caps
into the sieve script, where exim chokes on them:

$ /usr/lib/sendmail -v -bf .forward <testmsg.mbox
Sender taken from "From " line
Return-path taken from "Return-path:" header line
Return-path = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sender      = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Recipient   = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Testing Sieve filter file ".forward"

fileinto `inbox'
Sieve error: unknown capability in line 9

The result from the user's point of view is that his/her filter script
doesn't work: all messages get filed into "inbox".

If managesieve included a configurable capabilities string, then we
could work around this problem and use it with exim.

Thanks,
Andrew.
