>Description:
After upgrading to cyrus-imapd to version 2.3.6, websieve-0.63.a stopped working failing to authenticate user with the following error:

Jun  5 18:37:06 host sieve[64799]: starttls: TLSv1 with cipher AES256-SHA (256/256 bits new) no authentication
Jun  5 18:37:07 host sieve[64799]: badlogin: localhost.example.com[127.0.0.1] PLAIN error base64 decoding string

Websieve in this case reports the following error:

System Error: IMAP::Sieve [ Login incorrect while connecting to localhost ]: NO "Authentication Error"
Wrong Password! 

Quick search via Google gave a hint that probably base64 encoded string contains a eol marker at position 76. Patching Sieve.pm solves a problem.

>How-To-Repeat:
Install cyrus-imap (with SASL and PLAIN auth support) and websieve from ports.
Try to login with valid user account.

>Fix:
Here's a patch which solves the problem by defining empty eol separator while calling encode_base64()
