** Description changed:
Ubuntu 26.04

Summary
The default configuration shipped in
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-managesieve.conf includes:
protocols {
- sieve = yes
+ sieve = yes
}
This is misleading in modern Dovecot/Pigeonhole setups and can lead to
misconfiguration when combined with current recommended Sieve storage
methods (sieve_script personal { driver = file }).
Expected behavior
The default configuration should:
- Only use modern Sieve enablement via:
+ Only use modern Sieve enablement via:
- mail_plugins = sieve
+ mail_plugins = sieve
- Enable ManageSieve using service managesieve configuration only
- Avoid legacy or ambiguous “protocol-style” Sieve enablement snippets
+ Enable ManageSieve using service managesieve configuration only
+ Avoid legacy or ambiguous “protocol-style” Sieve enablement snippets
Actual behavior
The shipped configuration includes:
protocols {
- sieve = yes
+ sieve = yes
}
When combined with modern file-based Sieve configuration, this can lead
to:
- Incorrect assumption of legacy Sieve directory-based storage
+ Incorrect assumption of legacy Sieve directory-based storage
- Conflicts with file-based Sieve setup (sieve_script personal)
+ Conflicts with file-based Sieve setup (sieve_script personal)
- Errors such as:
+ Errors such as:
- stat /.dovecot.sieve/tmp failed: Not a directory
-
+ stat /.dovecot.sieve/tmp failed: Not a directory
Steps to reproduce
Install Dovecot + ManageSieve:
apt install dovecot-core dovecot-managesieved dovecot-pigeonhole
Configure modern file-based Sieve:
+ In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf:
+
sieve_script personal {
- driver = file
- path = ~/sieve
- active_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve
+ driver = file
+ path = ~/sieve
+ active_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve
}
Use Roundcube ManageSieve plugin to create a rule
Observe errors in mail logs:
.dovecot.sieve/tmp is not a directory
