Quietly reading this thread as it developed got my hopes up for a 
solution that would solve my problem at the same time.

Situation is roughly the same:

debian sarge w/

- Cyrus v2.1.18-IPv6-Debian-2.1.18-1+sarge2 with the following config:

Theoretically this should enable sieve for logins from localhost by user 
cyrus (who of course has an entry in sasldb), right?

My telnet output shows:

:~# telnet localhost 2000
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.1.18-IPv6-Debian-2.1.18-1+sarge2"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope vacation imapflags notify subaddress 
relational regex"
OK

but sieveshell still complains:

:~# sieveshell --user=cyrus --auth=cyrus localhost
connecting to localhost
unable to connect to server at /usr/bin/sieveshell line 174.

no matter whether I'm logged in as root or cyrus.

Could it have to do with the sasl_minimum_layer setting?

If TLS is disabled for sieve via the key file settings, does the 
sasl_minimum_layer setting still override this?
