Sieve script won't compile. Compiler output isn't helpful.
Hello! I hope you will forgive my ignorance but I have a problem I have
been trying to solve for a week and I'm not sure where else to turn.
I'm trying to write a sieve script to sort all of my mail. I was writing
this script to replace the one I am currently using but I can't seem to
get it to compile. I don't know a lot about sieve or really scripting of
any kind and I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
The compiler just puts out a bunch of output that doesn't make sense.
like "unexpected character" when I know the character works there
because I am already running a script with some of the same lines.
I'm attaching the script with some names and addresses changed and the
sieve output to this email.
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Hey martin, Thanks for the reply! I made the changes you suggested but I got the same results. According to my understanding, #header "from" "person at example.com"# is correct for an exact match.
