In the moment I'm not shure witch the better solution. So let's talk about both.
Mainly, it depends on if your Cyrus users have shell logins to the same box the Cyrus server is running on or if Cyrus acts as a "sealed server".
Ok fine, but I have a .sieve file in $home -rwxr-xr-x 1 mf mail 209 2003-07-21 00:56 .sieve
That's not enough for ~/.sieve being readable by the cyrus user. Your $HOME and all the directories in the path above have to be accessible for the cyrus user, too. And there is no need for .sieve being executable.
How do I tell the system that sieve should not use timsieved?
By stating "sieveusehomedir: true". Cyrus will look in your $HOME for sieve scripts and if someone tries to use timsieved, it will refuse to work. In addition, you should disable sieve/timsieved in /etc/cyrus.conf.
How do the user store the scripts in the cyrus server?
By means of sieveshell:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] be]$ /opt/cyrus/bin/sieveshell localhost connecting to localhost Please enter your password: > put .sieve default > activate default > list default <- active script > quit [EMAIL PROTECTED] be]$
