[Dovecot] Dovecot2 + Sieve => SOLVED

[Philipp Strobl]

Hi,

the trick was the "pickup" service in the postfix/master.cf

For some unknown reason this line was deleted. Now with:

pickup    fifo  n       -       -       60      1       pickup


everythink works perfectly now. (even the sieve delivery)


Thanks a lot again and
have fun with Open Source

Philipp
