Hello list. I've got a working Dovecot with Postfix and MySQL-support but everything from the capabilities of sieve isn't working except one thing: Sorting emails to folders works fine. But no vacation, no reject, no redirect. I don't get any errors in the logs. Verbose logging is enabled. I compiled both from newest cvs-sources but also tried older combinations (nightly snapshots). Always the same result and there's no .dovecot.sieve.err so script is okay. If it is not, .dovecot.sieve.err will be generated. I've tested this :) Anyone here who has a working sieve implementation with dovecot-lda? Where do I have to search? Is it a configuration problem? Where can I configure which sending mechanism dovecot-lda should use? Is it a local sendmail binary? Where does dovecot-lda search for it. Is it a SMTP-server? So there's one on port 25 at the local machine.

Greetz, Olli

It seems that I found the problem. After searching in the sourcecode of dovecot-lda (smtpclient.c) I found that path to sendmail is hardcoded to /usr/lib/sendmail. In my system (www.linuxfromscratch.org) there was the path /usr/sbin/sendmail.So a symbolic link helped me .... I think, it would be a good idea, to put such things in a configuration file. Did I miss something? Is there one? If yes, what are the configurable options? Another good thing could be to simple test the existance of /usr/lib/sendmail and generate an errorlog entry, if it is missing.
