Yup, I understand now. Should have looked at the logs more closely in 
the first place, instead of jumping on all of the tls failures...

squirrelmail 2:1.4.15-4+lenny2
avelsieve 1.9.7-6+lenny1
cyrus-imapd- 2.2.13-14+lenny3
looks like php5

I guess one more bit of info that may be helpful is this is a mail 
server that got moved from an old 32 bit machine, and I used this 
procedure to migrate:

http://www.mail-archive.com/info-cyrus@lists.andrew.cmu.edu/msg38092.html

which worked great, at least for the mail part, but maybe sieve stuff 
didn't transfer so well?

cheers,
