Hi, I have just updated from Ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10. Unfortunately, sieve scripts are not recognized anymore.

Here is my version:

...

dovecot --version 2.2.18 apt-cache policy dovecot-sieve dovecot-sieve: Installed: 1:2.2.18-2ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:2.2.18-2ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:2.2.18-2ubuntu2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

What was the version of dovecot in ubuntu 15.04? Have you checked your existing configuration files against the examples provided by the new version for changes to options?

And this is the log entry:

...

Dec 25 09:24:12 home-le dovecot: lda(user1): Warning: sieve: file storage: Active sieve script symlink /home/user1/.dovecot.sieve is broken: Invalid/unknown path to storage (points to /home/user1/sieve). Dec 25 09:24:12 home-le dovecot: lda(user1): msgid=<567CFD2C.7070301@example.org>: saved mail to INBOX Dec 25 09:24:12 home-le postfix/local[28536]: 70876BD035A: to=<user1@example.org>, relay=local, delay=0.07, delays=0.02/0.01/0/0.04, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to command: /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -m "${EXTENSION}")

Set mail_debug=yes that logs details of the sieve plugin execution http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Troubleshooting

It is not a permission issue (though there should even be one with more

restrictive permissions)

...

otheruser@home-le:~$ cat /home/user1/.dovecot.sieve require ["variables","date", "include"];

include :personal "00-delete"; include :personal "01-spam"; include :personal "50-bulk_filter";

It is apparently also not a path normalization issue (also according to

the correct "points to" path in the log). I used an absolute path in the symlink:

...

user1@home-le:~$ ls -la .dovecot.sieve lrwxrwxrwx 1 user1 user1 33 Dec 25 09:23 .dovecot.sieve -> /home/kay/sieve/managesieve.sieve

Any idea what could be wrong here?

Here is my dovecot -n output:

...

namespace inbox { inbox = yes location = mailbox Drafts { special_use = \Drafts } mailbox Junk { special_use = \Junk } mailbox Sent { special_use = \Sent } mailbox "Sent Messages" { special_use = \Sent } mailbox Trash { special_use = \Trash } prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { sieve = file:~/.dovecot.sieve sieve_dir = ~/sieve }

According to the documentation sieve_dir is deprecated but should still work. The "sieve =" configuration accepts options to set the active script http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve/Configuration
