sieveshell

[Robert Scussel]

I am having similar problems, and found out by stracing the timsieved 
that the sieveshell connects to, that sieveshell doesn't respect ( at 
least in my case) what I pass as -a. If I run as root, it will try to 
authenticate as root, if I run as user, then it works fine. -a 
apparently has no effect.

On a side note, if sieveshell is saying it can't connect to server, then 
you might want to check your settings in cyrus.conf to make sure that a) 
sieve is in there, and that b) it's running on port 2000.

HTH,
