[Dovecot] Tilde expansion in ManageSieve for dovecot-1.1.

Greetings all,

I'll skip the details of the setup, except to say that it has a non-standard (and non-templateable) home directory path for virtual users. Ran into the following problem when a debian (possibly from backports) packaged dovecot-1.1.2 was upgraded to a dovecot-1.1.13-2~bpo50+1 (definately from backports):

sieve-storage: root directory specified by mail data does not exist: ~/Maildir

After some analysis, it would appear that ManageSieve (looks like 0.10.4 is included in the debian backports) doesn't do the tilde expansion before doing a stat test to see if the ~/Maildir exists.

Here's a quick diff of the change I made to make it work:

sodor@madawg:~/tmp/deb-dove/dovecot-1.1-managesieve-0.10.4/src/lib-sievestorage$ diff sieve-storage.c ../../../sieve-storage.c 73c73 < const char *root_dir, *dir, *p, *d;

  const char *root_dir, *dir, *p, *d, *home;

127a128,133

  /* expand tilde in root so that the stat below works */
home = getenv("HOME");
if (home != NULL && *home != '\0') {
    root_dir = home_expand_tilde( root_dir, home );
}

I'm not sure if this was the best way to fix this (or if this is even a bug, I might just have a crazy setup).

Thanks,

-Steve
