dovecot - Jun 2010 - Sieve isn't working

Hi,

I tried to get Sieve plugin running but I don't get it to work and 
actually have no idea what's wrong.

My dovecot version is 1.2.12 and dovecot -n prints this:

# 1.2.12: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.18-028stab064.7 i686 openSUSE 11.1 (i586) reiserfs
log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log
info_log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log
disable_plaintext_auth: no
login_dir: /usr/local/var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
first_valid_uid: 110
last_valid_uid: 110
mail_location: maildir:/var/qmail/mailnames/%d/%n/Maildir
fsync_disable: yes
lda:
   postmaster_address: postmaster at code-factory.de
   mail_plugins: sieve
   mail_plugin_dir: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda
   fsync_disable: no
auth default:
   passdb:
     driver: passwd-file
     args: /usr/local/etc/passwd.dovecot
   userdb:
     driver: passwd
   userdb:
     driver: static
     args: uid=popuser gid=popuser
plugin:
   sieve: /var/mail/mydomain/.dovecot.sieve
   sieve_global_path: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
   sieve_dir: /var/mail/mydomain/sieve
   sieve_global_dir: /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/


For testing purposes I created a very simple 
/var/mail/mydomain/.dovecot.sieve with the following content:

require ["fileinto", "regex"];

if address :is "from" "test at test.de" {
	fileinto "INBOX.Webi";
	stop;
}

Then I sent a mail from test at test.de (the real address is ommitted here) 
to my mail account, but the mail is not moved to the subfolder Webi. In 
the log files there's no single hint what's going on. And in 
/var/mail/mydomain there's no .dovecot.sieve.log file.
This directory is owned by popuser and that user has rights for reading 
and writing to this directory (and read rights for .dovecot.sieve), 
therefore it should not be a rights problem.

Does anybody has suggestions what could be the cause of this?

Sincerely, Steven

Enable mail_debug, at least in the protocol lda {} section.
That will log information like module loading and what the sieve plugin
wants and finds/gets.

Also check your mail log, after enabling mail_debug.
