Sieve Authentication Fails - Resolved

[Dan Perez]

OK, I'm not sure why this works, but if I su to the unix account which 
matches the mailbox name of the mailbox I'm trying to run sieveshell for.... 
and it works just fine.  I had assumed I could be running as root, or 
another account I use to manage stuff.... and just pass in the username with 
a -u parameter.

I only tried this because I installed the avelsieve squirrelmail plugin.  
Once installed, the plugin worked fine, so I knew authentication worked with 
sieve.  That's when it occurred to me to actually su to that unix account, 
and re-run sieveshell.

Thanks for the help guys.  Appreciate it.
Dan
