Re: sieve: active= doesn't seem to use bindir=

[dovecot]

It looks like dovecot is trying to save the
compiled active script to the same directory as the source file,
instead of to bindir. Am I missing something?

sieve =
    file:/usr/local/etc/mail/%{domain}/%{username}/sieve;
    
active=/usr/local/etc/mail/%{domain}/%{username}/sieve/.active.sieve;
    bindir=/var/cache/mail/%{domain}/%{username}/sieve

Active= tells where to save the complied active script. In the above 
config it is being told to save to

    /usr/local/etc/mail/%{domain}/%{username}/sieve/.active.sieve;

Which is the same directory as the scripts set with file:

    /usr/local/etc/mail/%{domain}/%{username}/sieve

If you want the compiled to save in same path as bindir then change 
active to match

    active=/var/cache/mail/%{domain}/%{username}/sieve/.active.sieve;
