I noticed lately that I can no longer modify *.sieve files while Dovecot
is running. Write operations appear not to be permitted anymore:
$ echo >> example.sieve
zsh: permission denied: example.sieve
Text editors like vim cannot write either. Since I used to be able to
modify Sieve source files on the fly, I am wondering if the behaviour
I see nowadays is intentional?
IMHO dovecot only consumes the bytecode sieve filter, not the plain text
source file based on which the bytecode get generated.
I would be your issue is cause by unix permissions or by MAC systems
like grsecurity, SELinux or Apparmor.
