Overview

Sievectl is a utility that allows for management of Sieve scripts from the command line. It supports multiple accounts, configured in the .sievectlrc file located in the user‘s home directory.

Configuration file example

 accountA:
   host:     sieve.accounta.tld
   port:     2000
   user:     johndoe
   euser:    johndoe
   password: secret
   auth:     PLAIN

 accountB:
   host:     mail.accountb.tld
   user:     john
   password: secret
   auth:     PLAIN
   tls:      false

The port and euser parameters can be ommited, and will respectively default to 2000 and the value of the user parameter. If the auth parameter is ommited, it will default to ANONYMOUS. If the tls parameter is ommited, a TLS connection will be used if the server supports it. Otherwise, a plain text connection will be used.
