Synopsis

  • TCP port 4190 is the IANA-registered port for the ManageSieve protocol (RFC 5804), used to manage Sieve email filtering scripts on mail servers.
  • Dovecot exposes ManageSieve on 4190 via its Pigeonhole plugin, letting users upload and edit Sieve rules.
  • The Cyrus IMAP server provides its timsieved/ManageSieve service on port 4190 for managing user Sieve scripts.
  • Webmail clients commonly use this port to manage filters, including Roundcube’s managesieve plugin and Horde’s Ingo module when connected to Dovecot or Cyrus.
  • Many production mail stacks deploy 4190 specifically for ManageSieve access, replacing the older unofficial port 2000 historically used by early timsieved setups.
