'Logging into Sieve' means that you are checking whether the ManageSieve protocol is active. Using this technique, you'll only be able to verify that it is possible to remotely upload Sieve scripts. This has nothing to do with whether Sieve scripts are being executed at delivery or not. Still, connecting to that protocol should work:
but get the following error: ian:~/ $ gnutls-cli --starttls -p 143 mail2.wilkesley.net [8:32:22] Resolving 'mail2.wilkesley.net'... Connecting to '127.0.0.1:143'...
- Simple Client Mode:
- OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN] Dovecot ready. STARTTLS STARTTLS BAD Error in IMAP command received by server. According to the Dovecot wiki this should reply with the capabilities of my server, Note the server sends and receives mail OK using starttls.
So what am I doing wrong?
I'm getting the feeling that the wiki is not clear enough on this point. You are connecting to IMAP (port 143), which makes no sense. You should connect to the port configured for the Sieve protocol, which is 4190 by default and 2000 for older setups.
If your Sieve scripts are not being executed, you should check the following first:
