–line-info=BOOL
print source location along with action logs (default)

-n, –[no-]dry-run, –no-actions
do not execute any actions, just print what would be done

–no-program-name
do not prefix diagnostic messages with the program name

-t, –ticket=TICKET
ticket file for user authentication

-v, –[no-]verbose
log all actions

–variable=NAME=VALUE
set sieve variable

Global debugging settings

set Mailutils debugging level

–[no-]debug-line-info show source info with debugging messages

–log-facility=FACILITY
output logs to syslog FACILITY

-M, –mailer=MAILER

Sieve options

–clear-include-path
clear Sieve include path

–clear-library-path, –clearpath

-L, –libdir=DIR
append DIR to the list of directories searched for library files

–libdir-prefix=DIR
add DIR to the beginning of the list of directories searched for library files

Configuration handling

–config-file=FILE
load this configuration file; implies –no-config

–config-lint
check configuration file syntax and exit

–config-verbose

Sieve-specific debug levels:

trace1 - print parse tree before optimization trace2 - print parse tree after optimization trace3 - print parser traces trace4 - print tests and actions being executed trace9 - print each Sieve instruction being executed

Compatibility debug flags: g - main parser traces T - mailutils traces (same as –debug-level=sieve.trace0-trace1) P - network protocols (same as –debug-level=sieve.=prot) t - sieve trace (same as –debug-level=sieve.=trace4) i - sieve instructions trace (same as –debug-level=sieve.=trace9)
