Hi all, I seem to have a not uncommon problem logging into sieve. Whenever I try to login via sieveshell ( sieveshell -a engineers localhost ) I get asked for the password, and then told authetication has failed; from the log Jan 27 15:48:54 consignia master[1843]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/timsieved Jan 27 15:48:54 consignia sieve[1843]: executed Jan 27 15:48:54 consignia sieve[1843]: accepted connection Jan 27 15:48:58 consignia timsieved[1843]: user engineers is not allowed to proxy Jan 27 15:48:58 consignia timsieved[1843]: badlogin: localhost[127.0.0.1] PLAIN authentication failure Jan 27 15:48:58 consignia perl: No worthy mechs found Jan 27 15:48:58 consignia master[1817]: process 1843 exited, status 0 I am using binaries that come with my distribution (SuSE 8.2) as standard. Cyrus, Postfix, and IMAP work fine but now that I want use SIEVE I have struck a problem. Cyrus-imapd 2.1.12-29 cyrus-sasl 2.1.12-31 postfix 2.0.6-8 /etc/imapd.conf configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap sievedir: /var/lib/sieve admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no autocreatequota: 10000 reject8bit: no quotawarn: 90 timeout: 30 poptimeout: 10 dracinterval: 0 drachost: localhost sasl_pwcheck_method: auxprop # Below added 27/01/04 sasl_mech_list: PLAIN # Below added 27/01/04 sasl_sasldb_path: /etc/sasldb2 lmtp_overquota_perm_failure: no # # if you want TLS, you have to generate certificates and keys # #tls_cert_file: /usr/ssl/certs/cert.pem #tls_key_file: /usr/ssl/certs/skey.pem #tls_ca_file: /usr/ssl/CA/CAcert.pem #tls_ca_path: /usr/ssl/CA /etc/sasldb2 exists and is chowned by cyrus:root 600 Passwords for six users have been entered in there (without realms - is this a problem?) and these passwords can read in the file. What I want to do is provide spam filtering on the Cyrus server, if SIEIVE in 8.2 cannot be made to work perhaps somebody could suggest a spam filter that willl seamlessly integrate with a Cyrus IMAP server (SuSE 8.2) Thanks ia advance for any help.
