Glad to hear it.  Thank you for testing.

We have them in the internal Sirius 2.3.13 branch (and some more evil
ones to make them auto* useful in a Murder).  Whether they get into
Debian as on-by-default patches is a matter for discussion on this list.

I didn't know about that one, but it sounds interesting.  I'll look and
see if it could be extended to run the admin script by default if the
user has none, and/or run admin-after-user.  Either would be an
improvement over "autocreate_sieve_script".

I am very much aware of that; I just haven't had time to merge it in.
Need to do it soon, though, as I know Bron has a lot more changes queued
up for 2.3.15...

That would be my favoured option for a Lenny-backports build - and we
are about to go live on a new installation built that way across, I
think, seven Lenny/amd64 boxes and several terabytes of mail.

There's a thread going on (slowly) with Sven and Henrique about the
wider issues.

Cheers
