Sieve problems

[Craig Graham]

I have Cyrus Imap installed, using the RPMs supplied with Mandrake8.1. The
version appears to be 2.1.4. I am using "PLAIN" authorisation.

All has been fine for the past year which makes me reluctant to upgrade to
the latest version and risk breaking anything- I don't have a great deal of
time to play with the box- but I'm now wanting to get Sieve working, and
have hit a bit of a wall.

I've tried Sieveshell and installsieve- both segfault on connecting. I've
tried the web one, but it refuses to accept any login. So I tried playing
with the daemon, and have found something that appears to be wrong when
first connecting;

"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v1.1.0"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress
regex"
OK

In similar dumps in other messages I've seen, there has been a list of
authentication mechanisms between "IMPLEMENTATION" and "SIEVE". So it seems
Timsieved isn't aware of any mechanisms. How do I make it aware of "PLAIN"?

Here are the two config files if necessary.

Cyrus.conf

  # do not delete this entry!

}
