Hi,

I'm currently setting up a mail-server with dovecot and the dovecot-sieve
plugin. To manage the sieve filter rules I set up the pysieved daemon.
For Webmail I set up the Horde Groupware Webmail Edition and configured
Ingo to manage the sieve rules on the mailserver but it didn't work.

Pysieved is set up to authenticate with dovecot over the same client-socket
postfix is using for SASL authentication. The authentication didn't work.
After some bughunting I found out that the problem seems to be in the
dovecot auth plugin of pysieved.

The authentication request is build by the following pattern:

username\0username\0password

After changing the pattern to: (Diff attached)

\0username\0password

the authentication worked and I could store my sieve rules on the mail-server.

Could it be a bug in pysieved or is it just a problem with my configuration?

I'm using:
Dovecot 1.0.2 and pysieved from July 24


Regards
Sebastian
