Active sieve script symbolic link doesn't update when changed.
While setting up sieve on my email server I mistakenly setup a symlink
(~/sieve/myfilter.svbin > ~/.dovecot.sieve) but I think that that should
have been (~/sieve/myfilter.sieve > ~/.dovecot.sieve). I have fixed the
mistake but dovecot/sieve still throws an error saying that the symlink
still links to the wrong file.
I have made sure the symlink is fixed (it links to
~/sieve/myfilter.sieve) and I tried restarting dovecot and the server
but nothing works. I still get the error and my sieve filters aren't
processed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
