Re: Global sieve-scripts - Can no longer update them

Simon,
No, I just tried it with "sieveshell -u cyrus localhost" and it failed, 
which I expected.  Then I ran with "-a cyrus" and it worked.  I hadn't 
even thought of the default behaviour of assuming "-u <login user>".  
Joost's point is that he's unable to run the current version with -u 
<adminuser> and so cannot administer global sieve scripts.  I was just 
trying to think around that.
