An addendum to my original problem/question: I tried using "sivtest". When I did "sivtest -v localhost" (on the server itself), I got the following: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 05/26 16:31 richw@whodunit ~ 36) sivtest -v localhost S: "IMPLEMENTATION" "Cyrus timsieved v2.3.14" S: "SASL" "DIGEST-MD5" S: "SIEVE" "comparator-i;ascii-numeric fileinto reject vacation imapflags notify include envelope body relational regex subaddress copy" S: "STARTTLS" S: OK C: AUTHENTICATE "DIGEST-MD5" S: {212} S: bm9uY2U9Inl5TUxtc3BrOVllNUN1blFvTk14bExyU2g3bW8rZjNJZGtKKzFGQmkrdW89IixyZWFsbT0id2hvZHVuaXQucmljaHcub3JnIixxb3A9ImF1dGgtY29uZiIsY2lwaGVyPSJyYzQsM2RlcyIsbWF4YnVmPTQwOTYsY2hhcnNldD11dGYtOCxhbGdvcml0aG09bWQ1LXNlc3M= Please enter your password: C: {360+} C: dXNlcm5hbWU9InJpY2h3IixyZWFsbT0id2hvZHVuaXQucmljaHcub3JnIixub25jZT0ieXlNTG1zcGs5WWU1Q3VuUW9OTXhsTHJTaDdtbytmM0lka0orMUZCaSt1bz0iLGNub25jZT0ib1VCdjE5VlBsRXAyei9INlJUZG1tSUMzL28yb0tyTFQ0R1ZoaHpWdS8vbz0iLG5jPTAwMDAwMDAxLHFvcD1hdXRoLWNvbmYsY2lwaGVyPXJjNCxtYXhidWY9MTAyNCxkaWdlc3QtdXJpPSJzaWV2ZS9sb2NhbGhvc3QiLHJlc3BvbnNlPTUyZTJkMDlmMTQ1MzhlMzY1MjdkOTlmNWU0MjIwYjY5 S: OK (SASL "cnNwYXV0aD1iNTZmYTBkYTg0NzQ0ZTVlYTcyZjZjYTdkYTVjMzcwNw==") Authenticated.
