  works, thanks (inetd.conf line + mailbox_transport = lmtp was all that
I needed to change)

  ok, done, I found make target test in sieve subdir, it's built and
seems to be working. however the filtering does not work:

  email messages contain X-Sieve: cmu-sieve 2.0 header (I use 1.6.24)

  test message ~/.sieve shows that it would be rejected

  the /etc/imapd.conf contains: sieveusehomedir: true

  what now?

  here's more info:

  test of ~/.sieve doesn't print anything, here' ~/.sieve

------------------ ~/.sieve start
require "reject";

if header :contains "subject" "123 testing sieve" {
  reject "testing sieve message rejected!";
}
------------------ ~/.sieve end

  test message from cyrus inbox, this is how I received the message that
was not rejected:

------------------ test message start
X-Sieve: cmu-sieve 2.0
Return-Path: <erik@jojda.2y.net>
Received: by jojda.2y.net (Postfix, from userid 1000)

text of test message

erik
------------------ test message end

  this is the result of running test rrr ~/.sieve (file rrr contains the
above message):

------------------ test ourput start
jojda:~...cyrus-imapd-2.0.16/sieve>./test rrr ~/.sieve
rejecting message 'rrr' with 'testing sieve message rejected!'
notify msg = 'You have new mail

To: erik@jojda.2y.net
From: erik@jojda.2y.net (Erik Steffl)
Subject: 123 testing sieve

Action(s) taken:
Rejected with: testing sieve message rejected!
' with priority = medium
------------------ test ourput end

  the message above is not rejected (I tested it after I switched to
lmtp). any ideas how to troubleshoot further? My guess is that cyrus
ignores the ~/.sieve, but not sure how to verify that and how to make it
process the file.

  I thought that the problem might be 700 permissions on my home
directory so I changed it to 777 (the same for ~/.sieve) but it still
does not work (the message is not rejected). Do I need to restart
something (it looks like there's no daemon for imap running)?

  next thing I tried to add the same rule with Subject (uppercase S), no
change...

  TIA
