Re: cyrus, sasl, sieve & virtual domains

Thanks Steve:
I am going to look for this thunderbird plugin you mentioned. I could
work through a bunch of crap just to get this running and then take more
time later to figure out a better user interface.

when I issue the command:
sieveshell -u cyrus@timsworld.ca -a test@timsworld.ca localhost

I get this on STD error after I am prompted for a password.
Authentication Error
unable to connect to server at /usr/local/bin/sieveshell line 170,
<STDIN> line 1.

line 170 is actually line 172 from /usr/loca/bin/sieveshell (a perl
script wrapped in a shell script)
my $obj = sieve_get_handle($acapserver,
                           "prompt", "prompt", "prompt",
"prompt");

I have setup a debug logfile for auth
auth.debug.log:
Jan 15 13:33:03 ibm saslauthd[86453]: do_auth : auth failure:
[user=test] [service=sieve] [realm=] [mech=sasldb] [reason=Unknown]

I get the same error if I include -r=timsworld.ca

the one thing that sticks out here is that the realm is not set. I
understand that the realm should be the domain name. If I connect via
pop I enter a username of test@timsworld.ca and the the password and I
get authenticated. I think it really sucks that I can not use a pop
authentication method for this purpose. pop & imap work as expected.

the man page for Cyrus::SIEVE::managesieve is heinous. It says use
sieve_get_handle to establish a connection (period). No discussion of
the arguments. So I looked at the perl module for help but I don't
understand the perl code that well.

I have tried to replace the text strings "prompt" with a perl scalar
string from the sievshell script $realm or whatever it is and then I get
a worse error mesage, the perl will not run unless the fucntion
arguments are "prompt"....
thanks for the advice.
