Bug 55740 – Cyrus-Imapd 2.2.3: Error when sieve tries to create script dirs for virtual users

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description anders 2004-06-30 18:30:05 UTC]

I got an error messages in my log files saying that sieve didn't have permissions to create the "domain" directory under /var/imap/sieve

Turns out root owns the sieve directory. Changing owner and group to cyrus:mail fixes problem. Please update ebuild...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Sorry for the delay. I don't use sieve and try to reproduce your problem here but I can't.

$ sieveshell -a langthang -u langthang localhost

Fixed in cyrus-imapd-2.2.10-r1. Notice it's still ~ARCH.

Cheers,
