That was done long ago.

My setup does not look like the Wiki, but it has worked fine.  In
update-exim4.conf.conf, dc_local_delivery is set to 'dovecot', and I use
both dovecot router and transport.  I use appendfile instead of pipe as a
driver, but otherwise it looks very similar.  One of the reasons for not
using a distinct router is to have a non-standard Mailbox location so that
I can access my email from more than one machine.

This raises a question: does the fact that Dovecot itself is the LDA
account for the fact that Sieve does not seem to work?

Thank you
