"Did not specify legal script data length" Error With AvelSieve

If you're running AvelSieve filter on your email server, perhaps you have noticed that by default you can create maybe 40 filters (I believe this depends on how large they are), and then you get error "Did not specify legal script data length".

I fixed this error by specifying sieve_maxscriptsize in the imapd.conf file.

I assigned 128 to this variable, it should work OK for you as well. Then simply press CTRL-X, confirm saving and filename. If you, for some reason, still cannot asscess the filters folder, or if you're given an error, restart the httpd server or SpamAssassin, or both of them :) . So in the end you'll have a line like this in your imapd.conf:
