dovecot - Feb 2017 - Sieve not filtering

Hi,

I have copied accross a known-good sieve file from a working server and 
its not filtering.  Everything just gets chucked into INBOX.

This is the syntax I'm using in my sieve file:
require ["fileinto","envelope"];
if anyof (address :is :all "to" 
["recipient+something at example.com?,?mailing_list at example.com?],
                    header :contains ["Cc", "Delivered-To"] 
["recipient+something at example.com?,?mailing_list at example.com?]) {
         fileinto ?THIS_FOLDER?;
         stop;
}

What I did when encountering a similar issue was to take one of the messages
from INBOX that should have been moved elsewhere and use sieve-test on it:

sieve-test -Tlevel=matching <sieve source file> <message file>

That generates a lot of output as it goes through every line of the sieve file
and shows the actual values that are used for the tests.  However, it pointed
out my problem quite clearly.

Thank you for this.

Actually, after many hours of head-bashing, I discovered the problem.

sieve doesn't work when you're just using telnet port 25 !

I was doing :
ehlo test
mail from:sender at example.com
rcpt to:recip at example.com
data
Subject: hello world
Hello World !
.

With the above, sieve was simply sending everything to INBOX

When I changed my methodology :
ehlo test
mail from:sender at example.com
rcpt to:recip at example.com
data
From:<sender at example.com>
To:<recip at example.com>
Subject: hello world
Hello World !
.

It worked as expected.
