dovecot - Sep 2009 - Sieve: redirect and keep action, possible bug

Hi,

Using Dovecot 1.2.4 and the new Sieve implementation in version 0.1.12, 
I ran into a problem that could indicate a bug in Sieve.

The following is a simple script (as generated by Horde's Ingo 
application) to redirect incoming mail and also keep a copy of the 
message in the local inbox:

if true {
    redirect "foo at example.org";
}

if true {
    keep;
    stop;
}

Problem is, it doesn't work as expected: no copy of the message is kept 
in the local inbox. However, if I explicitly tell Sieve to "fileinto"
it
works fine:

require ["fileinto"];

if true {
    redirect "foo at example.org";
}

if true {
    fileinto "INBOX";
    stop;
}

Is this a bug in Sieve or am I wrong about how "keep" works? 

Thanks in advance!

Andreas

Your script looks strange for me. I'm simply using:

# sieve script start
redirect "user at example.com";
keep;
# sieve script end (no conditions)

All emails is forwarded to user at example.com and will be saved in the inbox.
