[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve Broken with 1.1 RPMs?

[Mailing List]

Thanks for taking the time to respond Patrick.

Previously (in v1.0) we did not need the plugin section:
sieve = mailfilter.sieve

Is this now required even when just wanting to use a global sieve
script? We have ~100 users so manually adding a mailfilter.sieve file to
each users directory will be very time consuming. Are we able to input
the full path name to our global script instead,
i.e. /etc/dovecot-sieve/global?

I tried using sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot-sieve/global in the 'lda
protocol' section but, as stated, the script seems to be ignored. The
local delivery agent is working but everything gets delivered to the
users inbox instead of being filtered.
