Please stop top posting!

Are you using the docevot11 rpm from SuSE? This provides the cmusieve
plugin. If you have compiled Dovecot from source code you have also to
compile the sieve plugin in order to use the plugin.

The cmusieve plugin supports also vacation auto-replies. You will find
more details in the wiki: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve
Which file the sieve plugin reads depends on your configuration.
