Hm, sorry, I don't know whats wrong with your setup. IIRC when you have more than PLAIN in your mechlist, sieveshell can not use PLAIN. This only works with cyradm by now.
- Can you use pop-3 with user keith ? - what do you get when telnet mailhost 2000 ? This is what works for me here: [root@dhcp-141-104 root]# cat /etc/imapd.conf configdirectory: /var/lib/imap partition-default: /var/spool/imap admins: cyrus allowanonymouslogin: no sieveuserhomedir: no sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve sendmail: /usr/sbin/sendmail hashimapspool: true sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd sasl_mech_list: PLAIN tls_cert_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem tls_key_file: /usr/share/ssl/certs/cyrus-imapd.pem [root@dhcp-141-104 root]# cat /etc/pam.d/sieve #%PAM-1.0 auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth [root@dhcp-141-104 root]# telnet localhost 2000 Trying 127.0.0.1...
