I'm reentering this conversation a little late - but how are you delivering mail? Via the Dovecot LDA (in which case Sieve should be used)? Or directly via e.g. procmail (in which case Sieve never gets a chance to be run)?

I have Exim, which does its usual thing, and the LDA is Dovecot (IMAPS). Up to this point, I have used Thunderbird/Icedove as the MUA, but there have been problems, as we have discussed already (not solved yet). I do the road warrior thing from time to time, so have been using Squirrelmail on the laptop (also now on the desktop, because it's the only thing that I can send on).

When I try to set lda as a protocol, that is:

protocols = imaps managesieve lda

I get an error message: Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotFatal: Unknown protocol lda failed!

Either one is not supposed to do that, or there's something wrong with how I have lda set up:

protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@ellisonpsychology.ca

sieve_global_path = /var/mail/.global.sieve

script_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
mail_plugins = cmusieve
mail_debug = yes
log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog

}

Managesieve sets up the symlink for ~/.dovecot.sieve OK. However, nothing is in the logs, and there's nothing in /sieve/tmp.

Of course, the problem may lie elsewhere. but this seems to me the place to start.

Thanks

Cam
