Strange sieve problem....

[Bryntez]

Hi list..
I have trouble connecting to sieve. Everything else works fine.
I'm using RedHat 7.3. I've tried Simons rpms also, but the same error
occures. I'm using Cyrus Sasl 2.1.11 and Cyrus Imap 2.1.11.
The system is a "web-cyradm" based config with MySQL and Postfix.

saslauthd -a pam& are working fine against smtp, pop and imap.

im the "pam.d" dir, there's "imap", "pop", "sieve" and "smtp" with the
same content in them, pointing to "/lib/security/pam_mysql.so etc..."

When I telnet localhost sieve, I get:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.1.11"
"SASL" "LOGIN PLAIN"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress
relational
regex"
OK

When trying to use sivtest with plain, this happens:
sivtest -u cyrus -a cyrus -m plain -p 2000 localhost
S: "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.1.11"
S: "SASL" "LOGIN PLAIN"
S: "SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress

S: OK

S: NO "Authentication Error"

The logs come up with:

Feb  1 15:21:57 gollum sieve[23388]: executed

When trying to use sivtest with login, this happens:
sivtest -u cyrus -a cyrus -m login -p 2000 localhost

S: "SASL" "LOGIN PLAIN"

When I try to use sieveshell I get:

And the log says: gollum perl: No worthy mechs found
