Hello, while installing Dovecot sieve, I am not able to deliver email for root. The strange thing is, that mails to ordinary users get delivered. And no, I do not use virtual mail, just ordinary unix accounts with an entry to passwd / shadow. Also before switching from Postfix deliver to Dovecot deliver, everything worked fine. Current versions for dovecot and postfix are:
dovecot-1.2.8 postfix-2.6.5 Anybody an idea, where I misconfigured something?
