[root at newmick etc]# grep sieve /etc/services
sieve-filter    2000/tcp        cisco-sccp      # Sieve Mail Filter Daemon
sieve-filter    2000/udp        cisco-sccp      # Sieve Mail Filter Daemon
sieve           4190/tcp                # ManageSieve Protocol
[root at newmick etc]#

[harold at newmick ~]$ sieveshell localhost:4190
connecting to localhost:4190
connect: Connection refused
unable to connect to server at /usr/bin/sieveshell line 170.
[harold at newmick ~]$

I checked /etc/services, and it's 4190 and not 2000.  But 4190 fails just the same.
