Hi there,

I have recently installed and configured cyrus-imapd-1.6.24 to run on a
HP 9000 (HP-UX 10.20) All is working well and I'd now like to enhance
the setup through the implimentation of sieve filters to kurb e-mail
abuse.

I'm having problems with sieve authntication when I try to list or add
filters.

Here is the contents of my imap.conf file:

configdirectory: /disk2/imap
partition-default: /disk2/imap/spool
admins: marco hennie sarel
srvtab: /var/imap/srvtab
umask: 077
quotawarn: 90
timeout: 60
sasl_pwcheck_method: passwd
sieveusehomedir: false
sievedir: /usr/sieve

Here is the command I use to try and add a filter:

installsieve -i filter -m plain -u hennie localhost

I get prompted for a password and then type in my UNIX password:

Here is the error:

Please enter your password:
Authentication failed with: "generic failure"
Authentication failed.

When I set the "-m" option to "passwd" instead of "plain" I get the
following error without being prompted for a password:

Authentication failed.

What am I doing wrong ? What haven't I configured ? Unfortunately the
docs are really terse on this.

Looking forward to any advice.

Regards,

Hennie
