Well, no ;-).
Not if you are using Sieve-Filters.

Starting with cyrus 2.2.? you have to use sieve-scripts compiled into
bytecode.
I upgraded my cyrus from 21 to 22 a month ago. Off course I read
UPGRADE.Debian.gz but there is no word of bytecode. Simply a note to run
/usr/lib/cyrus/upgrade which did not worked for me. None of my scripts
were updated. I think the script did not dive into the subdirs [a-z]*.

BTW: SmartSieve works also perfectly.
