[Dovecot] problem with dovecot and sieve

[Javier]

I'll be planning on upgrade soon then, if that cures the problem (ie:
i will use submission_host instead of sendmail binary)

Another (maybe) unrelated question.
It is possible to add extra parameters so the connection made to
submission_host uses user's credentials ? (for authenticated smtp)
Or I'm asking something ridiculous?

Thanks Timo, Thanks list.
