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
