localhost[127.0.0.1] PLAIN authentication failure

Aug 13 11:27:40 sigmund saslauthd[12960]: do_auth         : auth
failure: [user=root] [service=sieve] [realm=] [mech=pam] [reason=PAM
auth error]

Yes, there is no big difference.

Yes.

I don't have a "sieve_allowplaintext", I have tried it with "yes", but
it did not help.

allowplaintext: yes

I have the same problems with "tls_sieve_cert_file: disabled" or not, so
I think the problem is not tls-related.

saslauthd -> pam -> unix

In the pam modules for both imap and sieve I have:
@include common-auth
@include common-account

Thanks for your help.
