Re: Unable to write *.sieve files while Dovecot is running

I noticed lately that I can no longer modify *.sieve files while Dovecot is running. Write operations appear not to be permitted anymore:

$ echo >> example.sieve zsh: permission denied: example.sieve

Text editors like vim cannot write either. Since I used to be able to modify Sieve source files on the fly, I am wondering if the behaviour I see nowadays is intentional?

IMHO dovecot only consumes the bytecode sieve filter, not the plain text source file based on which the bytecode get generated.

I would be your issue is cause by unix permissions or by MAC systems like grsecurity, SELinux or Apparmor.
