[Dovecot] problems with sieve

Hi all

I am running a simple mail server on ubuntu 12.04LTS with postfix 2.9.3
and dovecot 2.1.10. Since this morning sieve doesn't work anymore. I
changed the sieve script forth and back but sieve is not working. I also
replaced the sieve file with the backup, but no success. But I can't any
error messages in the log files indicating any problem with sieve. The
only thing I found is:

Jan 10 00:03:26 vmd187 dovecot: lda(carsten.delellis at delellis.net): sieve:
msgid=<12155505.mmailer335539222 at fritz.box>: stored mail into mailbox
'Fritz!Box'  -- with working sieve

Jan 10 13:52:29 vmd187 dovecot: lda(carsten.delellis at delellis.net):
msgid=<1898328495.2554803.1357821905269.JavaMail.app at ela4-app2316.prod>:
saved mail to INBOX  -- with sieve not working

As you can see that after dovecot: lda(carsten.delellis at delellis.net): the
sieve tag is missing.

I have also attached my settings from 90-sieve.conf from dovecot
configuration.

##
## Settings for the Sieve interpreter
##

# Do not forget to enable the Sieve plugin in 15-lda.conf and 20-lmtp.conf
# by adding it to the respective mail_plugins= settings.

plugin {
  # The path to the user's main active script.
  # sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve = /vmail/%d/%n/dovecot.sieve
  # A path to a global sieve script file, which gets executed ONLY
  # if user's private Sieve script doesn't exist. Be sure to
  # pre-compile this script manually using the sievec command line
  # tool.
  sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve

  # Directory for :personal include scripts for the include extension.
  # sieve_dir = ~/sieve
  sieve_dir = /vmail/%d/%n

  # Directory for :global include scripts for the include extension.
  sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve

  # Which Sieve language extensions are available to users. By default,
  # all supported extensions are available, except for deprecated
  # extensions or those that are still under development. Some system
  # administrators may want to disable certain Sieve extensions or
  # enable those that are not available by default. This setting can
  # use '+' and '-' to specify differences relative to the default.
  # For example `sieve_extensions = +imapflags' will enable the
  # deprecated imapflags extension in addition to all extensions
  # enabled by default.
  #sieve_extensions = +notify +imapflags

  # The separator that is expected between the :user and :detail
  # address parts introduced by the subaddress extension. This may
  # also be a sequence of characters (e.g. '--'). The current
  # implementation looks for the separator from the left of the
  # localpart and uses the first one encountered. The :user part is
  # left of the separator and the :detail part is right. This setting
  # is also used by Dovecot's LMTP service.
  recipient_delimiter = +

  # The maximum size of a Sieve script. The compiler will refuse to
  # compile any script larger than this limit.
  #sieve_max_script_size = 1M

  # The maximum number of actions that can be performed during a single
  # script execution.
  #sieve_max_actions = 32

  # The maximum number of redirect actions that can be performed during
  # a single script execution.
  #sieve_max_redirects = 4

  # The maximum number of personal Sieve scripts a single user can have.
  # (Currently only relevant for ManageSieve)
  #sieve_quota_max_scripts = 0

  # The maximum amount of disk storage a single user's scripts may occupy.
  # (Currently only relevant for ManageSieve)
  #sieve_quota_max_storage = 0
}


And also you can see that sieve is listening on port 4190 and managesieve
on 2000

> lsof -i :4190
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
dovecot 2503 root   15u  IPv4  14101      0t0  TCP *:sieve (LISTEN)
dovecot 2503 root   16u  IPv6  14102      0t0  TCP *:sieve (LISTEN)

lsof -i :2000
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
dovecot 2503 root   17u  IPv4  14103      0t0  TCP *:cisco-sccp (LISTEN)
dovecot 2503 root   18u  IPv6  14104      0t0  TCP *:cisco-sccp (LISTEN)


I would appreciate any hints.
