This chapter does not contain a description of Sieve, since that can be found
in RFC 3028, which should be read in conjunction with these notes.
-.new
The Exim Sieve implementation offers the core as defined by RFC 3028,
comparison tests, the subaddress parameter, the &*copy*&, &*envelope*&,
&*fileinto*&, &*notify*&, and &*vacation*& extensions, but not the &*reject*&
extension. Exim does not support message delivery notifications (MDNs), so
adding it just to the Sieve filter (as required for &*reject*&) makes little
sense.
-.wen
In order for Sieve to work properly in Exim, the system administrator needs to
make some adjustments to the Exim configuration. These are described in the
&` [log `&<&'log file name'&>&`]`&
&` [once `&<&'note file name'&>&`]`&
&` [once_repeat `&<&'time interval'&>&`]`&

&`e.g. mail text "Your message about $h_subject: has been received"`&

Each <&'address-list'&> can contain a number of addresses, separated by commas,
&`e.g. logwrite "$tod_log $message_id processed"`&
.endd
It is possible to have more than one &(logfile)& command, to specify writing to
-different log files in different circumstances. Writing takes place at the end

+A previously opened log is closed on a subsequent &(logfile)& command.
+Writing takes place at the end
of the file, and a newline character is added to the end of each string if
there isn't one already there. Newlines can be put in the middle of the string
by using the &"\n"& escape sequence. Lines from simultaneous deliveries may get
