The consensus of the private emails I've received is that some people opt not to utilize Sieve, based upon the lack of documentation.
I find that surprising, but I've not found much to speak of yet - anyone? Or do we just use procmail as the mailer ;-)--- your sarcasm notwithstanding - if I recall correctly, you asked about conversion of procmail to sieve and the only thing I saw was some scripts included with the distribution which appeared to be from Andrew Morgan - I have seen it referenced on the cmu.edu site for cyrus-imapd as well.
Something I will point out, procmail is more fully-featured than sieve, mostly by design. procmail can do anything you could do if you were logged into the machine and had a shell. sieve has limited powers.
So, it may not be possible to convert every procmail script to sieve.
I am by no means expert and it seems that your attitude might not engender many others to volunteer their time to help you understand this stuff.
Actually, he was attributing the attitude to others, right? ;-)
We have had some internal discussions about finding a tech writer. We seem to go through tech writers quickly, perhaps unlike developers they are less likely to tolerate subscale wages for a more relaxed environment, or perhaps as a tech writer their environment is not in fact more relaxed. I don't know, I haven't been involved in exit interviews for any of those we lost.
We're looking again, though I don't know that we've advertised a position.
