Hi,
I am currently working on a managesieve daemon, so that I can use the squirrelmail plugin avelsieve together with dovecot-lda. Without this I can't migrate from cyrus to dovecot. For several reasons I don't use the timsieved from cyrus and build it from scratch. Is this interesting for somebody else?

It is of interest to us; we are a small company: SarVision (7 people) but due to quite heavy internet data/server requirements we do own & manage our own server, and thus also our own mail server. We have just migrated to postfix/dovecot (using dovecot-lda) and tough we do not use sieve yet, we are definitely interested in a dovecot oriented implementation of a sieve daemon.
Only to make things clear, dovecot-lda doesn't need my daemon to process a sieve script, it handles it already fine. The daemon is needed by frontends like avelsieve or imap clients like mulberry (who knows more?) to handle the scripts. That means:
- authenticate the user
- show available scripts
- transfer a script to the client
- save a script from the client
- set the active script
- and some more Not everybody of us want that our users have to login to their unix accounts and edit their sieve script there.
