This was already dealt with in ports/116493 -- I've taken out any dependency
on a particular HTTP server. As this is bog standard perl CGI scripting, it
should work with just about every webserver out there.

Also dealt with by making the port install into ${WWWDIR} -- which will
evaluate to /usr/local/www/websieve in most cases.

Hmmm... yes. My German isn't as good as it should be, and Google
auto-translation produces quite odd results if you tell it to translate
perl code from German into English... Anyway, the correct fix is to
change that 'if' statement to:
if ($IMAPERROR !~ /no errors/i && !$ismanager && $IMAPERROR) {
Your fix of using '=' is actually assigning $IMAPERROR with the result of
comparing the default variable ($_) against the regexp /no errors/i -- which
happens to always return False, so the test will never succeed even if
there is some error condition that needs to be handled.
I've updated the PR.

This seems to have already been fixed in the IMAP::Sieve module I have
installed from ports.

Ah -- this isn't websieve. It's timsieved -- the bit of Cyrus IMAPd
that websieve connects to. It will create a hashed directory tree under
/var/imap/sieve/ to hold the source and the byte-compiled versions
of user sieve scripts -- but it needs that top level directory to be
created initially:
mkdir -p /var/imap/sieve
chown -R cyrus:cyrus /var/imap/sieve
For some reason, doing that is unaccountably missing from the action
of the /usr/local/cyrus/bin/mkimap script.
There are still some more bugs to work out, but with these patches
the port is now installing something basically functional.
Unfortunately ENOTIME for me to do much else with this.
Cheers,
Matthew
