timsieved won’t start….

[morrisce]

Hello all!

I’m getting the following error when trying to manually start timsieved.

/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/timsieved: could not getenv(CYRUS_SERVICE); exiting this shows up in system.log

I’ve done everything in apple’s documentation and created the /usr/sieve directory and changed the permissions.

Anything else to look for?

What does this error mean?

Thanks,

Chad

It’s best if you list the steps you took (vs saying you did everything)….

Did you enable PLAIN imap authentication?
Did you add sieve to /etc/services?

sorry about that…

This is on a fresh load of OS X server with all all patches loaded I’m at 10.4.9.

First I added 2000/tcp to /etc/services then reloaded mail services like it said Apple’s documentation.

Secondly I created the /usr/sieve folder and set the owner of cyrusimap and group of wheel. with permissions of rwxr-xr-x.

I have also verified that PLAIN authentication is enabled.

Then I attempted to start the timsieved process from the /usr/bin/cyrus/bin folder and I got that error that I stated above.

Thanks
