The mailadmin mailbox does exist. Mail sent to this account (or any of its postfix aliases) slip through the sieve filters and goes directly into the inbox.

I just updated section 3 — the IMAP admin account’s mailbox must exist in IMAP before the sieve scripts work with it.

Thanks a lot for this great documentation! I’ve got sieve up and running (with avelsieve as well). The sieve scripts work fine with every account, except for the mailadmin account itself. This account was created as described in section 3 of this documentation. Any advice on this one!

Hi Brent,

I’m having a small problem… When I run :
/usr/bin/cyrus/sieve/sieveshell –user=myuser –authname=mailadmin localhost
If I give a wrong password I get this :
Jul 14 12:38:56 Server105 sieve[78036]: badlogin: localhost[::1] SIEVE-LOGIN (-6)

If I type the correct password I get the following in syslog :
Jul 14 12:39:18 Server105 perl[78035]: No worthy mechs found

And as an error :
unable to connect to server at /usr/bin/cyrus/sieve/sieveshell line 169, line 2.

Thanky for your tuto
Just hope to get it working…

According to this post:

http://lists.apple.com/archives/Macos-x-server/2007/Jan/msg00346.html

It’s an Apple screw-up. They compiled sieve against PPC libraries but not x86 ones. I would follow the advice in the thread: file the bug report with Apple, and wait for a fix.

Although, that post is from Jan 2007 and it’s still not fixed in July 2008!?! That’s pretty bad.

I’m trying this on Tiger but I’m having the following output. When I run:

mainserver:~/Documents localadmin$ sieveshell --user=maria --authname=mailadmin localhost connecting to localhost dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _init_net Referenced from: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Cyrus/SIEVE/managesieve/managesieve.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup dyld: Symbol not found: _init_net Referenced from: /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Cyrus/SIEVE/managesieve/managesieve.bundle Expected in: dynamic lookup Trace/BPT trap mainserver:~/Documents localadmin$

My system.log outputs:

The perl.crash.log reads:

Any tips on fixing this?
Thanks a lot for your help and the great article.

Yes, probably.
