For high-level functions, you can use sieveshell, which is in the
cyrus-admin-2.2 package.

In that case, I meant the "cyrus21-admin" package...


Telnet should also work as low level tool.  After connect your next
input needs to be

AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" "xxxxxxxxx"

where xxxxxxxxx is the base64 encoding of username\0username\0password
for the credentials you're testing.  For example if your username is
"paul" and your password is "secret", you could do this:

AUTHENTICATE "PLAIN" "cGF1bABwYXVsAHNlY3JldA=="

If the server says "OK", try the LISTSCRIPTS command, and so on.

Note that timsieved is very intolerant and will simply exit dropping the
connection if you make a protocol error.
