put the following line in /etc/imapd.conf #sieveusehomedir: 1 and restarted cyrus-imapd and this didn't go over very well Feb 1 00:16:08 linuxserver sieve[17242]: can't use home directorieses Feb 1 00:16:37 linuxserver master[17145]: process 17253 exited, status 75 Feb 1 00:16:37 linuxserver master[17145]: service sieve pid 17253 in BUSY state: terminated abnormally OK - I'll byte - what's the trick? I'm finding that using sieve inside the mystery that is cyrus is clumsy and was thinking that if I could park the sieve files in home directories, things might be more manageable.
