dovecot - Mar 2007 - using sieve plugin

Hi,

I have installed dovecot on ubuntu edgy linux by retrieving the source
debian package, building and installing the package and then building
and installing the sieve plugin.

However, I get no log messages indicating errors and as far as I can
tell, my .dovecot.sieve script is not being used. I have introduced a
syntax error in the script and see no error message.

In dovecot.conf I have:

log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
invo_log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log

protocol lda {
  module_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
  mail_plugins = cmusieve
  log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log
  info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log
}

I am using exim with dovecot. I've tried using a .forward file (I'm
the one user on the computer). Alternately, I've tried creating the
dovecot_deliver "transport" in exim and changing the localuser router
to use it.

Still, I get no messages from deliver and no error messages from
dovecot or exim. The file dovecot-deliver.log is not created.

Do you have any suggestions that can help me get it working or to see
why it is not working?

deliver ignores unknown settings in the config file. It's a bit  
kludgy program.

Looks ok. You can also set mail_debug=yes to make deliver log more.

I guess the problem is with Exim configuration, but I don't know  
about Exim myself. You probably should have shown your transport  
configuration anyway.

Are you sure it even has permission to do that? /var/log/ isn't  
typically writable to other users than root. You could instead create  
the file yourself and change its permissions to be wide enough to  
allow deliver to write there.

Also you could first try to get deliver to work alone, and only then  
try to make the Sieve plugin work. Easier to get one thing working at  
a time.
