[Dovecot] LDA ignored

[Leander S.]

Hi,

my final goal is it to make use Dovecot's sieve modul - but 
unfortunately I'm not getting the LDA running as it is described in the 
Dovecot's wiki pages ... ;/
I've more and more getting the feeling that the LDA section in the 
configuration is completely ignored, cause whatever change I do in there 
is not being recognized at all - I could just type wildly arround in 
there - restart Dovecot and it will work. But the dovecot.conf is being 
used by Dovecot - cause changes to other sections are affecting 
Dovecot's behaviour ... it's really just the LDA section. I configured 
and compiled Dovecot with LDA & Managesieve.
Otherwhise Dovecot / Postfix setup is running quite well - mail is being 
scanned by amavis and Spamassassin and delivered as it did before I 
added / changed the configs to the sieve related options ...
It's very weired.

I activated "mail_debug = yes" and the following shows up when I start 
Dovecot:

Starting dovecot.
ILoading modules from directory: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap
IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib10_quota_plugin.so
IModule loaded: /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap/lib11_imap_quota_plugin.so
IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp
Iquota: No quota setting - plugin disabled
IEffective uid=65534, gid=65534, home=/tmp

It doesn't say a thing about sieve / lda ... ;(


The proof that Dovecot is running:

The last lines of Postfix master.cf:

and finally some more out of the dovecot.conf:

Any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong?
Thx
