Sieve script won't compile. Compiler output isn't helpful.
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.

Hello Martin, Wow. That was indeed the problem. I have been staring at that small script for a week and I just couldn't see it. I even had a friend look at it and he couldn't find it either. I feel a bit ridiculous now.
