Exactly as I suspected:

> service lmtp {
> inet_listener lmtp {
> address = 127.0.0.1
> port = 4190
> }
> }

As for why it looks that way? Dunno. Check conf.d/20-lmtp.conf. That doesn’t make sense.

From a little bit of poking around in the source, I wonder if you somehow have the LMTP listener running on the sieve port.

The output of doveconf -n will help more than just the 90-sieve.conf. Also check the dovecot log; I found it helpful (once I figured out how to configure it) with debugging.

Subject: Sieve daemon errors? (Part 1 of 2, Pt 2 to follow when Pt 1 resolved)

Folks, I am still trying to get help here. Let me re-state what is going on. I have a webmail program (SOGo) that connects to the Dovecot sieve system to handle things like mail filters and what not. That way dovecot's lda program can move things where they belong. So I went through the config files, and found the places where I need to enable sieve (this is in Gentoo Linux, by the way). Now, when dovecot starts I do see a listener on the sieve port on localhost:

#netstat -tl | grep sieve
tcp 0 0 localhost:sieve 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

And when I telnet to the port, it does connect. But it doesn't say much.

telnet localhost sieve
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 jupiter.newideatest.site Dovecot ready.

Yet every example I see online is showing a HECK of a lot more than this. So what's up? Anyone got any idea what I did wrong? I've put the 90-sieve.conf file on my web server at www.newideatest.site/90-sieve.conf for those who want to see it. If any other config files are wanted/needed to help figure this out, let me know what they are and I'll take care of it. Here's an example of what other websites I've looked at say I SHOULD see:
Trying 162.243.12.140...
Connected to test3.rtcamp.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot Pigeonhole"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress 
comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave"
"NOTIFY" "mailto"
"SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN"
"STARTTLS"
"VERSION" "1.0"
OK "Dovecot ready."
 
so why am I not getting all this?
