 ====== Filtering with Sieve ======
+The **Debian 11 Bullseye** GNU/Linux installs the **Dovecot** mail suite version **2.3.13**, including the **Pigeonhole Sieve** extension **v0.5.13** (via the **dovecot-sieve** package).
+The [[https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/sieve/pigeonhole_sieve_interpreter/|Pigeonhole Sieve Interpreter]] provides the //pipe//, //filter// and //execute// commands, where the //pipe// was the older one implemented (starting from v0.2). Currently the more modern //execute// command can be used instead of the //pipe// one.
+The following recipes were tested into a **$HOME/.dovecot.sieve** file, i.e. the users's Sieve filter applied by the Dovecot Local Delivery Agent.
+FIXME Document the timeout options.

+Here the **execute** //command// is called with the **:pipe** //tag//, this causes the execution of the external program much like the older ''pipe'' command.
 The **execute** command is not considered a final action (which "consumes" the message), so the **keep** action is eventually taken, saving the message into the INBOX.
