Sieve isn't sieving for me - things to check

[Nick Fisher]

I went through the same thing......
There were 4 basic things to check....

1) Check the location of the sasl2 libs
The default location is /usr/lib/sasl2 but apparently sometimes you need
to link that dir to /usr/lib/local/sasl2. Get and use strace to check this.

2) Incorrect permissions on the sasl2 dir

3) sasl_minimumlayer should be set low
Apparently you should set this var to 0

4) Make sure the plain lib is THERE
(This is the one that got me)
In the sasl2 dir there should be libplain.so.

I'm no expert but these were the main points that every one mentioned.
Also if your using pam with plain make sure that pam has a sieve entry.
