Installing Sieve Scripts

Note: You can also install Sieve scripts online via the Carnegie Mellon Web Portal. Select the COMPUTING > Manage Email > sieve scripts.

Use Sieveshell to install your script on the Cyrus server.

%sieveshell cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu
connecting to cyrus.andrew.cmu.edu
>put XXX
>activate XXX

where XXX = the script file name

Note: The Vacation mail feature available on the Computing tab of the Carnegie Mellon Web Portal uses Sieve scripts. If you activate Vacation mail from the Carnegie Mellon Web Portal, you will lose other Sieve filtering. However, you can combine the two filters and turn them into a single Sieve script.
