[Dovecot] dovecot-2.0-beta4, lda and sieve: Permission lookup failed from /tmp/Dovecot Delivery

[Felix Leimbach]

Hi all,

I'm testing a dovecot-2.0-beta4 and it is great so far, except that I
can't get the sieve plugin for the LDA configured.

It doesn't find the user's homedir and uses /tmp instead. Thus it never
finds any sieve scripts.

The log shows that the SQL queries return the correct home path, namely
/mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me

dovecot: auth: prefetch(me at example.com): passdb didn't return userdb
entries, trying the next
dovecot: auth: sql(me at example.com): SELECT CONCAT(homedir, "/", maildir)
AS mail, CONCAT(homedir, "/", maildir) AS home, uid, gid FROM
postfix_users WHERE email =
'me at example.com'                                                                   

dovecot: auth: master out: USER 1       me at example.com    
mail=/mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me/   
home=/mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me/       uid=5000       
gid=5000                                                           
dovecot: lda(me at example.com): Effective uid=5000, gid=5000,
home=/mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me/                                                                                                                                                      

dovecot: lda(me at example.com): Namespace: type=private, prefix=, sep=.,
inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes,
subscriptions=yes                                                                                                                                                   

dovecot: lda(me at example.com): maildir++:
root=/mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me, index=, control=,
inbox=/mnt/data/vmail/example.com/me                                                                                             


However, the sieve plugin still uses /tmp instead of the home dir and fails:

dovecot: lda(me at example.com): fs: root=/tmp, index=, control=,
inbox=                                         
dovecot: lda(me at example.com): Namespace : Permission lookup failed from
/tmp/Dovecot Delivery Mail            
dovecot: lda(me at example.com): Namespace : Using permissions from /tmp:
mode=0777 gid=-1                       
dovecot: lda(me at example.com): Namespace : Permission lookup failed from
/tmp/Dovecot Delivery Mail            
dovecot: lda(me at example.com): Namespace : Using permissions from /tmp:
mode=0777 gid=-1                       
dovecot: lda(me at example.com): sieve: user has no valid personal script

Any idea?

Cheers,
Felix
