+@chapter Examples
+
+If you are not familiar with Sieve, this chapter contains a few simple
+code snippets that you can cut'n'paste and modify at will, until you
+feel more comfortable with the Sieve language to write the rules from
+scratch.
+
+The following complete Sieve script places all messages with a matching
+@samp{Sender:} header into the given mailbox. Many mailing lists uses
+this format. The first line makes sure your Sieve server understands
+the @code{fileinto} command.
+
+@example
+require "fileinto";
+
+if address "sender" "owner-w3-beta@@xemacs.org" @{
+ fileinto "INBOX.w3-beta";
+@}
+@end example
+
+A few mailing lists do not use the @samp{Sender:} header, but has a
+unique identifier in some other header. The following is not a
+complete script, it assumes that @code{fileinto} has already been
+required.
+
+@example
+if header :contains "Delivered-To" "auc-tex@@sunsite.dk" @{
+ fileinto "INBOX.auc-tex";
+@}
+@end example
+
+At last, we have the hopeless mailing lists that does not have any
+unique identifier and you are forced to match on the @samp{To:} and
+@samp{Cc} headers. As before, this snippet assumes that @code{fileinto}
+has been required.
+
+@example
+if address ["to", "cc"] "kerberos@@mit.edu" @{
+ fileinto "INBOX.kerberos";
+@}
+@end example
