GNU sieve -- a mail filtering tool.
-c
, --[no-]compile-only

compile script and exit

-D , --dump

compile script, dump disassembled sieve code to terminal and exit

-d , --debug [= FLAGS ]

debug flags (defaults to "TPt")

-E , --[no-]expression

treat SCRIPT as Sieve program text

-e , --email = ADDRESS

override user email address

--environment = NAME=VALUE

set sieve environment value

-f , --mbox-url = MBOX

mailbox to sieve (defaults to user’s mail spool)

-k , --[no-]keep-going

keep on going if execution fails on a message

--line-info = BOOL

print source location along with action logs (default)

-n , --[no-]dry-run , --no-actions

do not execute any actions, just print what would be done

--no-program-name

do not prefix diagnostic messages with the program name

-t , --ticket = TICKET

ticket file for user authentication

-v , --[no-]verbose

log all actions

--variable = NAME=VALUE

set sieve variable

Global debugging settings

--debug-level = LEVEL

set Mailutils debugging level

--[no-]debug-line-info show source info with debugging messages

--log-facility = FACILITY

output logs to syslog FACILITY

-M , --mailer = MAILER

use specified URL as the default mailer

Sieve options

--clear-include-path

clear Sieve include path

--clear-library-path , --clearpath

clear Sieve library path

-I , --includedir = DIR

append DIR to the list of directories searched for include files

-L , --libdir = DIR

append DIR to the list of directories searched for library files

--libdir-prefix = DIR

add DIR to the beginning of the list of directories searched for library files

Configuration handling

--config-file = FILE

load this configuration file; implies --no-config

--config-lint

check configuration file syntax and exit

--config-verbose

verbosely log parsing of the configuration files

--no-config

do not load site and user configuration files

--no-site-config

do not load site-wide configuration file

--no-user-config

do not load user configuration file

--set = PARAM=VALUE

set configuration parameter

Informational options

--config-help

show configuration file summary

--show-config-options

show compilation options

-?, --help

give this help list

--usage

give a short usage message

-V , --version

print program version

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options.

Sieve-specific debug levels:

trace1 - print parse tree before optimization trace2 - print parse tree after optimization trace3 - print parser traces trace4 - print tests and actions being executed trace9 - print each Sieve instruction being executed

Compatibility debug flags: g - main parser traces T - mailutils traces (same as --debug-level = sieve .trace0-trace1) P - network protocols (same as --debug-level = sieve .=prot) t - sieve trace (same as --debug-level = sieve .=trace4) i - sieve instructions trace (same as --debug-level = sieve .=trace9)
