Of course we created those mailfilter.sieve files automatically with a few 
lines of shell script, so it's not that much of a hassle. It also gives the 
benefit of being able to easily add user-specific rules.

But I don't think it is required - having only one global script should work, 
according to the documentation.

I think we did something like that before, but that may have been with 1.0...

According to the Wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve) this should indeed 
work. Did you check deliver's log - nothing interesting in there? Are you 
sure the sieve script works? Maybe some syntax changed, and the version 1.1 
interpreter fails? You can check with sievec if the script (still) compiles 
correctly.

Patrick.
