Worked perfectly first time around. I am using CentOS 5.5 on a Linux VM. Just had to make sure to add the @domain part.

ie. sieveshell –user=user@domain.com –authname=cyrus localhost

It created the directories (…domain/x/domain.com/x/user) as well under /var/lib/imap/sieve, which I was not sure of (thought I had to perhaps symlink to /var/spool/imap/domain… instead, or create the dirs manually).

Thanks!

Can these instructions be used for 10.6 Server as well?

Thanks

yes, I’m trying to make this work with my own email address that is in use since a long time ago.

Is there a user account named “bob”, who has mail enabled, and has received mail before?

yes, I did.
When I detected the problem I thought that there was a problem with mailadmin user.
So I deleted it, create another one called adminmail , send an email to it, replaced the name on /etc/imapd.conf and restarted mail service.
Then I tried again “sieveshell –user=bob –authname=adminmail localhost” and put the script there.
After that I checked /usr/sieve/ and what I have there is:
/usr/sieve/m/mailadmin (created originally with adminmail) and /usr/sieve/a/adminmail created with the new user adminmail.
But it didn’t create /usr/sieve/b/bob as I expected.
I found information about this problem for another environment in this link:
http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@lists.andrew.cmu.edu/msg40685.html
But it doesn’t seem to be applicable to Mac OS 10.5

Thanks a lot for your help.

Jose.

Hi Jose, did you create the mailadmin mailbox, and send a message to it, as per section 3?

Hi Everyone.
I need some help with this , please!!
I followed the instructions and everything seems to be fine, but when I run:
“sieveshell –user=bob –authname=mailadmin localhost”, instead of creating a file on /usr/sieve/b/bob it creates in /usr/sieve/m/mailadmin.
I found some posts regarding to this called “sieveshell uses global sieve folder when auth’ing as cyrus” but I coudn’t make it work with those suggestions (or they are not applicable for mac servers, or I didn’t understand them properly)
Could somebody help me with this, please?
Thanks a lot.

Jose.
