+Dovecot CMUSieve plugin provides essential mail filtering capabilities -
+based on header flags or regex, vacation auto reply, notifications, etcetera.
+
+Please see the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve for additional info and
+configuration help.
+
+To use dovecot-cmusieve effectively, you will have to patch dovecot to
+include managesieve support. Without managesieve, users would need have at
+least FTP or SCP access to server to upload their sieve scripts and you would
+not have anyway to check for errors in sieve scripts. Managesieve provides
+easy access and script checking support so it is highly desirable.
+
+To create/manage sieve scripts for mail filtering, you can use kmail (which
+has native sieve support) or use thunderbird with sieve extension. The sieve
+extension for thunderbird is still under development. You can find more info
+on that at http://sieve.mozdev.org/
+
+This requires dovecot.
