Cyrus imap 2.2.3 and virtual domain sieve folders.

[William K. Hardeman]

Eddie,

The "sievedir" sieve directory (when using sieveusehomedir: 0|no|false) is, 
for sieve script storage, directly analogous to the imap spool partition, 
and has no such analogous relationship to the imap databases, other than 
similar naming structures. The configuration setting sievedir could, as a 
result, be thought of as sieve-partition-default, like partition-default 
(assuming defaultpartition: default) for the imap spool, which is what I 
initially did to make the distinction clearer in my mind.

>From the looks of your directory structure, you're using Simon's rpms, 
which by default have:
configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve

My installation, for instance, has:
configdirectory: /var/imap
partition-default: /var/spool/imap
sievedir: /var/sieve

Hope this helps.
Will
