dovecot - Sep 2015 - Sieve - multiple cores/CPUs

Hi All,

I have a quick question about the Sieve in Dovecot. I know that this is a
plugin so probably it depends on the Dovecot itself but:

is it able to use multiple cores/CPUs when doing the filtering? does the
filtering for each mail user run on a separate core?

Thanks,
Pawel

When a message is deliviered, a new process is forked. So, yes, if there 
are multiple simultaneously deliviered messages, multiple cores are used.
But no, for one particular message the process uses just one core.

But I suppose, that this does not answer your question?
