Hi

See my attached /etc/imad.conf file.... Take an extra look at the row
"allowplaintext". There are maybe other ways around the problem. But I have
not found any (yet)... So "allowplaintext: yes" is needed for sieve logins
to work. If TLS is required the sieve login will fail. That was the case
with earlier realeases... Now I use 2.2.10 and have not checked if sieve
works with TLS.

partition-default: /var/spool/imap
admins: root cyradm admin1 admin2
sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
sasl_mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN

allowplaintext: yes --> NEED THIS FOR SIEVE LOGIN THAT FAILS OTHERWISE

Hope this could be of any help.
