  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Sieve does not work after upgrade to 12.0.18 and installing dovecot

Eser

New Pleskian
Hi,

i use Plesk on a vserver which was offering it in version 11.x, i upgraded to 12.0.18, then i installed Dovecote on the panel. Everything went fine. Mailserver is working.
BUT sieve does not allow me to login and create filters.

I tried telnet against 4190, and it works:

-------------------------------------------------------
Connected to mail.xxxxxxxx.xxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
"IMPLEMENTATION" "Dovecot Pigeonhole"
"SIEVE" "fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date ihave imapflags notify"
"NOTIFY" "mailto"
"SASL" "PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5"
"STARTTLS"
"VERSION" "1.0"
OK "Dovecot ready."
-----------------------------------------------------

But when i use my sieve plugin for thunderbird OR access plesk's webmailclient Roundcube opening the filter module, it doesnt work. On Thunderbird i see the loading animation, thats it. On Roundcube it says "Unable to connect to sieve server".

Looks like something is missing. I can definitely access 4190 on my server from anywhere. So no firewall issue. I didnt change anything on configs, since plesk is handling it.

Roundcube log doesnt give me anything. I dont even see logs added (to syslog or mail.*) while i try to connect.

Whats wrong here?
 
Thanks for the reply, but i know that article. Doesn't help at all, so i very hope sieve is going to work soon. I don't even know why its not working, i don't see logs being created, looks like a firewall problem, but i can connect to sieve. It might be related to TLS/SSL. But i'm not sure.
 
Nope. Still no way to connect.

At least im able to setup the sieve script manually on my mailbox so my mails are filtered, but no way to manage that sieve script via Roundcube or Thunderbird sieve plugin.
