Hi,

as mentioned earlier, this question is slightly offtopic and rather for
academic interest. It looks like sieve rules apply to Cyrus IMAP deamon,
rather that to exim on these machines our webhoster is running.

In our webhoster's faq they write:

"Due to technical and lawful requirements the following limitations apply:
[...] no discard, no redirect [...]
[...] only the following extentions are allowed:
fileinto, imapflags, envelope, body, relational, regex und subaddress [...]"

See here:
https://www.variomedia.de/faq/Wie-konfiguriere-ich-die-Filterregeln/article/220
(German)

So, again, please excuse me -- this is a generic legal question, not
(only) related to exim.

Best regards,

Markus
