It should be automated.

A possible solution would be a cronjob, which checks every few minutes if
there is a new user without a maildir. But this requires that the user
hasn't logged on before the cronjob is executed.

Another approach is to check every maildir for an existing .Spam folder and
a .dovecot.sieve file and create both if they don't exist.

If dovecot couldn't do this by itself, I'm going to realize it with a cronjob.
