Sieve runtime error claiming mailbox doesn't exist

[Jim Sculley]

Hello.  I'm a new member of this list but a long time user of cyrus-imapd with postfix on my little home network.


I recently replaced CentOS 7 with CentOS 8 (CentOS Linux release 8.0.1905) on my  server which had been running 
cyrus-imapd with sieve for years without problems.  I thought I had gotten everything set up properly on the new system 
(cyrus-imapd  3.0.7-15.el8_0.1 with cyrus-sasl 2.1.27-0.3rc7.el8 and postfix 2:3.3.1-8.el8) but sieve is not moving 
messages into the correct folders.

For example, if I try to send a simple mail on the local network:

========
[root at buttercup quota]# mail jim at home.lan
Subject: Test Message
Test
.
EOT
========


The mail log will show:

=========================

=========================

So, sieve is running, and sees the rule in the script, but fails. This behavior is seen with all my rules, none of which 
are doing anything more than a fileinto based on sender addresses or message subjects.

The mailbox does exist, as seen with cyradm:

============================
buttercup.home.lan> lm user/jim/System\ Messages
user/jim/System Messages (\HasNoChildren)
============================


This was all working fine before the CentOS 8 install. The relevant (I think) imapd.conf entries:


==========================
defaultpartition: default
partition-default: /data/spool/imap
sievedir: /var/lib/imap/sieve
virtdomains: off
unixhierarchysep: yes
===========================

The spool directory looks like this:

===========================
[root at buttercup jim]# ls -l /data/spool/imap/j/user/jim
-rw-------. 1 cyrus mail    336 Nov 30 17:57  cyrus.annotations
-rw-------. 1 cyrus mail 373712 Dec  6 13:01  cyrus.cache
-rw-------. 1 cyrus mail    189 Apr 19  2013  cyrus.header
-rw-------. 1 cyrus mail  23424 Dec  6 13:01  cyrus.index
-rw-------. 1 cyrus mail    112 Nov 26 05:31  cyrus.squat
drwx------. 2 cyrus mail  20480 Nov 30 17:57 'System Messages'
===========================

I'm not sure if I have some sort of configuration error or if this is an actual bug. I would appreciate any assistance.


Thanks,
