I'm trying to get sieve working with an installation of cyrus I'm
prototyping.
First the preliminaries, I've built and installed cyrus imap without
mentioning sieve
on the configure script command line ( no --enable or --disable-sieve ).
The sieve
directory is built, however ( libsieve.a exists ) so the build looks good.
On install,
I create the directory /var/imap/sieve and added the line 'sievedir:
/var/imap/sieve
to /etc/imapd.conf.
On restart, the directory /var/imap/sieve is filled with subdirectories for
every letter
in the alphabet, so I guess the directory is found and all is well up to
this point.
So now I would like to put a sieve script on the server for my account (
audley ).
To this end I try sieveshell.pl. At first I went for installsieve as the
documentation
says but this directory wasn't built on my system and the Makefile.in wasn't
even processed by configure, in fact the directory is never mentioned in
configure
or configure.in. A little searching turned up the perl script
installsieve.pl in
perl/sieve/scripts so I took a look at that and see that it is deprecated in
favor of
sieveshell.pl. So I'm trying sieveshell.pl and it claims that it can't
connect to the
server. When I examined the perl, it appears to be trying to connect to an
ACAP
server. So do I need ACAP running to use sieve? Why?
On a separate track, I figure I'll try installing a sieve script manually.
Not
knowing what exactly is needed, I guess and put my sample script in
/var/imap/sieve/a/audley. Nothing happens. Is this where the script is
supposed
to go?
TIA
Cheers
Chris
