Thanks for the answer, I'm not sure what you mean by the additional permission details. Here is a quick example: /var/mail/domainname.hu/zolcsi chmod: 700, owner: vmail:mail After I set the initial sieve filters, the following file and directory gets created: /var/mail/domainname.hu/zolcsi/sieve (directory) chmod: 700, owner: vmail:mail /var/mail/domainname.hu/zolcsi/.dovecot.sieve (symlink to the sieve/sieve.sieve file) chmod: 600, owner: vmail:mail
After these two are created then the webmail can't modify them unless I delete the files manually. I looked in the mail.log and mail.err files, but couldn't find anything related to this. Perhaps if I set the log level to a higher value? Or is it possible to connect via telnet to port 2000 and issue some commands to see the actual answers of the ManageSieve server?
