Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:35:40 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4345 sieve: empty allof generates 'false' instead of 'true' If I create a rule, where I choose to match every criteria I specify, but I specify not, then the generated code says 'if false' instead of 'is true'. Please keep in mind, that in mathematics (and because of that in IT) "allof no conditions" evaluates to true, not to false. That is anyof, which evaluates to false.

But with your patch it always evaluates to true if no conditions are specified. But this is an academical discussion anyway, because "if false" doesn't make any sense. "if true" doesn't make much sense either, so I'm tending to disallow any rules that don't have conditions specified.

I told you already, that it is not the case. Please. Apply my patch to a test directory and test it if you do not believe, but I think it is clear from the source also. Since it doesn't patch Sieve_Test_Anyof class, but Sieve_Test_Allof only. > But this is an academical discussion anyway, because "if > false" doesn't make any sense.

It will be a big mistake, since I see no other way to create an always running custom rule, if there is, please enlighten me. Anyway this was the reason, why I bothered patching it. gergely Tue, 29 Aug 2006 13:11:03 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/4345#t23608 Convinced. Since the "if false" check doesn't make any sense at all, I changed the anyof test to return true without further rule criteria too.
