avelsieve not talking to timsieved

[woodgie]

I know this is about one of the most talked about subjects when it comes to Apple’s Mail Service. Please bear with me here. (Why can’t they provide for this by default? *mutter, mutter*)

OK, so I’m trying to get these wonderful vacation messages working via avelsieve on a 10.5.4 server patched through to today (20080904). I’ve followed [url https://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20080106215609968%5Dthis AFP548 article[/url] using the dev version and can see the plugin’s ‘Filters’ link in SquirrelMail but whenever I click on it I get:
[code]Could not log on to timsieved daemon on your IMAP server host.domain.net:2000.
Please contact your administrator.[/code]
however…
[code]onyxti5:~ william$ telnet host.domain.net 2000
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx…
Connected to host.domain.net.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
“IMPLEMENTATION” “Cyrus timsieved v2.3.8-OS X Server 10.5: 9C31”
“SASL” “CRAM-MD5 GSSAPI”
“SIEVE” “comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags notify envelope relational regex subaddress copy”
“STARTTLS”
OK[/code]
I’ve added a
[code]sieve 2000/tcp # Sieve mail filtering[/code]
line in /etc/services

I’ve tried many authentication methods but let’s go with how things are now. I currently have:
Kerberos
CRAM-MD5
as my SMTP and IMAP authentication methods (and using [url=https://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20080106215609968]this AFP548 article[/url], I have SSL up and running for SMTP, IMAP and web).

I have:
[code]$imap_auth_mech = ‘cram-md5’;[/code]
in
/etc/squirrelmail/config/config.php
and configtest.php returns:
[code]Plugins OK[/code]
and
[code]Checking IMAP service….
IMAP server ready (* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ ID STARTTLS AUTH=CRAM-MD5 AUTH=GSSAPI] host.domain.net Cyrus IMAP4 v2.3.8-OS X Server 10.5: 9C31 server ready)

I have:
[code]$sieve_preferred_sasl_mech = ‘cram-md5’;[/code]
in
/usr/share/squirrelmail/plugins/avelsieve/config/config.php

And nothing seems to do the trick.

What’s really bugging me is that the timsieved must be running for me to telnet to it. I feel the problem is one of authentication. But where to go from here I’m a bit stuck with. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as ever.
