  Hi,

  I've been using cyrus-imap for the last 6 years in a Fedora Core
3 Box, since cyrus compile gives me headache I used Simon Matter's
package. 

  But some time ago we had to replace our serves with Debian Etch,
a wonderful experience, apt-get is by far the most reliable update
software, but the problem lies with the cyrus-2.2 default package. All
the Imap and everyting else is working perfect except sieve.

  When I try to create a script using sieveshell -u username -a
username localhost, them use put vacation-username.sieve and after that
activate vacation-username.sieve, it feels to be correct, but when
trying to deliver any message I get:

  WARNING: sieve script /var/lib/cyrus/sieve/u/username/defaultbc
doesn't exist: No such file or directory

  and checking the sieve dir on /var/lib/cyrus/sieve the directory
above actually doesn't exist, but it created a global/defaultbc

  do you happen to know if this is a bug or maybe a
misconfiguration ?

  Thanks for any help.

A similar thread occurred not long ago under the subject "Sieve Filter
Rules".  My fix:

I had a very similar problem.  I utilize Smartsieve for script 
management, it also began failing login after cyrus-imap version 2.3.10.
I traced the change to a return statement in timsieved/parser.c.
The attached diff reverts parser to it pre 2.3.11 behavior.  
Interestingly, the return type of capabilities(...) is still int.
I have no clue what this change may break elsewhere, but now 2.3.12p2 
works with Smartsieve as before.
