Problems with Sieve in Debian Etch
Hi, I've been using cyrus-imap for the last 6 years in a Fedora Core 3 Box, since cyrus compile gives me headache I used Simon Matter's package. But some time ago we had to replace our serves with Debian Etch, a wonderful experience, apt-get is by far the most reliable update software, but the problem lies with the cyrus-2.2 default package. All the Imap and everyting else is working perfect except sieve. When I try to create a script using sieveshell -u username -a username localhost, them use put vacation-username.sieve and after that activate vacation-username.sieve, it feels to be correct, but when trying to deliver any message I get: WARNING: sieve script /var/lib/cyrus/sieve/u/username/defaultbc doesn't exist: No such file or directory and checking the sieve dir on /var/lib/cyrus/sieve the directory above actually doesn't exist, but it created a global/defaultbc do you happen to know if this is a bug or maybe a misconfiguration ? Thanks for any help.

Are you authenticating with sieveshell as a cyrus admin user? I can't remember the details of how it works, but it is possible to create "global" sieve scripts, which is probably done as the cyrus admin user. You really shouldn't be giving admin rights to a regular IMAP user account. Use a separate account as cyrus admin.

My fix: I had a very similar problem. I utilize Smartsieve for script management, it also began failing login after cyrus-imap version 2.3.10. I traced the change to a return statement in timsieved/parser.c. The attached diff reverts parser to it pre 2.3.11 behavior. Interestingly, the return type of capabilities(...) is still int. I have no clue what this change may break elsewhere, but now 2.3.12p2 works with Smartsieve as before. 899,901c899 < /*return capabilities(sieved_out, sieved_saslconn, starttls_done, authenticated); < */ < return result; --- > return capabilities(sieved_out, sieved_saslconn, starttls_done, authenticated); Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
