From the "50 Tips for Better English":

Be more or less precise!

Seriously: Which Unix system? Which Linux platform? What scripts?

My suspicion is that your Unix system used a certain default system shell (depending on the Unix systems type and version this could be a Bourne shell, Korn Shell, or even C-shell) and your new Linux system uses a different shell (depending on the specific type a "dash" or a "bash" most likely). This might lead to problems.

Another reason why your scripts fail is that they have no sort of environment explicitly set. Maybe you had some sort of standard-enviroment set in your old Unix box which is different (or non-existent) in your new box.

I hope this helps.

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--password=password] [--exec=script] [--execfile=file] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -p password, --password=password The password to use when authenticating to server. Note that this parameter can be seen in the process list. Use with caution! -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done. -f file, --execfile=file Instead of working interactively, run commands from file file and exit when done.
