Hi everyone,

after switching to ubuntu (from debian) and running a newer dovecot --version 2.2.33.2 (d6601f4ec) i encountered a problem with configuring sieve. The mailserver has virtual maila accounts stored in /decrypted/%d/%n

Prior, i used

plugin { sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve sieve_before = /etc/dovecot/sieve/before.d }

after the upgrade, I moved the sieve_before location on disk and changed this to

plugin { sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_before = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/before.d }

only to see that sieve didnt forward e-mails anymore. Looking at the logs below, i suspect, that I didnt understood the meaning of sieve = file:~/sieve;active=~/.dovecot.sieve correctly:

After changing this to

sieve = file:/decrypted/%d/%n/sieve;active=/decrypted/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve

I got working sieve rules that forward mails correctly again, but at the same time I loose the ability to let users edit their sieve scripts via the roundcube managesieve plugin (roundcube reported an unknown error), but dovecot complained that the active file wasnt a symlink. I tried several combinations of configuring this, but I seem to miss some important point. Would you kindly help me get this right? Configs are attached.

Thanks in advance, Pavel
