I have been running dovecot on a Fedora 14 host for years and am moving
up to Fedora 19.
I have things setup to run as a generic user vmail and have all users
mailboxes in /var/vmail which is owned by the vmail user. Each user has
a Maildir directory and a sieve directory. I also changed sendmail's
procmail to run dovecot so it delivers into /var/vmail/<user>/Maildir
instead of /var/spool/mail.
I just copied the /var/vmail directory from the old machine to the new
machine and made all the files there owned by vmail that had the same
uid. I then compared the /etc/dovecot/conf.d files and made changes to
ty and match the previous configuration as much as possible.
I can send mail to a local user and se it show up in the users INBOX.
However, when I watch /var/log/maillog when I send the mail I see errors
like this:
---------------------
script /var/vmail//ckottari/sieve/Active.sieve;name=main script (view
user logfile /var/vmail//ckottari/sieve/Active.sieve.log for more
information)
Apr 22 17:05:46 ckottari-dhcp1 dovecot: lda(ckottari):
msgid=<201404222205.s3MM5jJs003128 at ckottari-dhcp1.wrs.com>: saved mail
to INBOX
---------------------
When I look at Active.sieve.log:
---------------------------------------------------
sieve: info: started log at Apr 22 17:05:46.
main script: line 8: error: included personal script 'My RRs.sieve' does
not exist.
main script: line 9: error: included personal script 'RCPL.sieve' does
not exist.
main script: line 10: error: included personal script 'New_Incomplete
Messages.sieve' does not exist.
---------------------------------------------------
Basically, I get an error message for all my scripts that get included
by the Active.sieve. The Active.sieve file and all the scripts exist in
the /var/vmail/<user>/sieve directory and sieve_dir is set to ~/sieve.
So, I am not sure why it can't find them if it can find Active.sieve.
Below is my configuration output. This has been working for years in my
Fedora 14 host without errors. But, there are some configuration
differences that I just kind of guessed at.
Any ideas on how to get sieve working would be appreciated.

This way, Dovecot should log where it is looking for the Sieve files.> plugin { > sieve = ~/sieve/Active.sieve > sieve_dir = ~/sieve > }This is not a good idea. Don't put the active script link (sieve=) inside the script storage (sieve_dir=). There is special magic to prevent the Active script from showing up in ManageSieve as an additional script, but it is best to avoid this situation altogether. Regards, Stephan.
