It has been running flawlessly for quite some time until the update.
Global scripts were compiled:
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve # ls
10-move-spam.sieve 10-move-spam.svbin
However, I ran sievec again and tried saving a modified script and got the same:
shiofuki dovecot: lda(gessel at blackrosetech.com): Error: sieve: binary save:
failed to create temporary file:
open(/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.svbin.shiofuki.blackrosetech.com.96421.)
failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm:
/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve, we're not in group 6(mail), dir owned by 143:6
mode=0775)
Dec 9 11:30:39 shiofuki dovecot: lda(gessel at blackrosetech.com): Error:
sieve: The LDA Sieve plugin does not have permission to save global Sieve script
binaries; global Sieve scripts like
`/usr/local/etc/dovecot/sieve/10-move-spam.sieve' need to be pre-compiled
using the sievec tool
I use Thomas Schmid's Sieve 0.2.3d add on to Thunderbird, if that might have
any significance.
Compiling with sievec shouldn't change the permission error, which I still
don't understand.
