Sieve runs as part of a redirect router and generates file addresses.
File addresses are processed by the appendfile transport pointed to
by "file_transport" in the router. The file transport then decides
to use maildir delivery by using "maildir_format" and "directory".
The directory must be an absolute path, so qualify the relative file
addresses with a string expansion that uses "$address_file".
I suggest to read at least the introductional chapters of the manual to
understand how routers and transports work together and out of a sudden
the above will make sense.
