[Dovecot] sieve files wont get parsed/compiled using cmusieve

[Moritz Krinke]

Hello, 

im trying to get sieve up and running, but apparently my sieve
rules file doesnt get parsed / compiled and i cant see any errors in my
logfile which would point me to the problem. 

im using ubuntu 9.10 (and
the dovecot packages from it), dovecot version is 1.1.11. 

in the protocol
lda section of the config file i have added: 

 mail_plugins = cmusieve

mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda 

and in the plugins
section: 

 sieve = /var/vmail/%d/%n/.dovecot.sieve
 sieve_dir =
/var/vmail/%d/%n/sieve 

root at mail:/# l
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root
247470 2009-10-15 06:38
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root

-rw-r--r-- 1 root
root 141384 2009-10-15 06:38
/usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so 

in
/var/vmail/%d/%n/ i have a dir "sieve", containing a sieve rule file and a
symlink to it: 

ls -la .dovecot.sieve 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21
2009-11-07 17:14 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/roundcube.sieve

ls -la
sieve/
total 16
drwxrw-rw- 3 vmail mail 4096 2009-11-07 17:02 .
drwxrw----
20 vmail mail 4096 2009-11-07 17:20 ..
-rwxrw-rw- 1 vmail mail 359
2009-11-07 17:02 roundcube.sieve 

as i understand the documentation there
should be a ".dovecot.sievec" file after the first mail arrived. But there
isnt. There also is nor err file . 

Since the dovecot user is in the group
"mail", deliver should have rw-access to the sieve file/directory. 

The
Upload of the sieve rule via dovecots managesieve did work as expected.


Would be great if anyone had an idea what/where to check next...? ;-)


Thanks,
