I have been running dovecot on a Fedora 14 host for years and am moving up to Fedora 19.
I have things setup to run as a generic user vmail and have all users mailboxes in /var/vmail which is owned by the vmail user. Each user has a Maildir directory and a sieve directory. I also changed sendmail's procmail to run dovecot so it delivers into /var/vmail/<user>/Maildir instead of /var/spool/mail.
I just copied the /var/vmail directory from the old machine to the new machine and made all the files there owned by vmail that had the same uid. I then compared the /etc/dovecot/conf.d files and made changes to ty and match the previous configuration as much as possible.
I can send mail to a local user and se it show up in the users INBOX. However, when I watch /var/log/maillog when I send the mail I see errors like this:
script /var/vmail//ckottari/sieve/Active.sieve;name=main script (view user logfile /var/vmail//ckottari/sieve/Active.sieve.log for more information) Apr 22 17:05:46 ckottari-dhcp1 dovecot: lda(ckottari): msgid=201404222205.s3MM5jJs003128@ckottari-dhcp1.wrs.com: saved mail to INBOX
When I look at Active.sieve.log:
sieve: info: started log at Apr 22 17:05:46. main script: line 8: error: included personal script 'My RRs.sieve' does not exist. main script: line 9: error: included personal script 'RCPL.sieve' does not exist. main script: line 10: error: included personal script 'New_Incomplete Messages.sieve' does not exist.
Basically, I get an error message for all my scripts that get included by the Active.sieve. The Active.sieve file and all the scripts exist in the /var/vmail/<user>/sieve directory and sieve_dir is set to ~/sieve. So, I am not sure why it can't find them if it can find Active.sieve.
Below is my configuration output. This has been working for years in my Fedora 14 host without errors. But, there are some configuration differences that I just kind of guessed at.
Any ideas on how to get sieve working would be appreciated.
