No, it's for the Sieve plugin. Those settings are located in the plugin 
section.

Try pressing enter once more. If it still hangs, something else is going 
on and you need to test this more thoroughly with strace. You can attach 
this program to the running managesieve process with strace -p<pid>. 
That will show what managesieve is doing.

That is the file that is generated during upload. When the upload is 
finished, it is moved to the actual location. This is used to prevent 
corrupting an existing script and to let concurrent uploads be performed 
gracefully.

The fact that this is missing means that no script is currently active 
(activated using SETACTIVE command). If your 
../vmail/mydomain.tld/test/sieve directory is empty, it means that no 
scripts were uploaded successfully thus far. The LISTSCRIPTS command 
will then list nothing.
