SASL/Sieve problems

[Patrick Radtke]

do you allow plain text logins? (I don't think sieveshell won't work  
with it disabled)
you can try using sievec to compile the current sieve scripts and  
make them active.

you can debug with sivtest

# sivtest bratwurst
S: "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.3-alpha"
S: "SASL" "GSSAPI"
S: "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation  
imapflags notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy"
S: "STARTTLS"
S: OK
Authentication failed. no mechanism available
Security strength factor: 0

Our server requires starttls and I didn't do it
so
#sivtest -t "" bratwrust
does the trick
