[Dovecot] Sieve doesn't appear to be active

[Darek M]

I'm hoping that this isn't something stupid and that I'm not wasting
bandwidth here, but I'm stuck and don't know any further ways of
debugging this.  And most non-documentation, end-user created info I
find is for 1.0 with cmusieve.

Running Dovecot 1.2.11 on Fedora Core 12.  Added 'sieve' to
'mail_plugins'.  Have enabled verbose logging with 'mail_debug = yes'.
 But I'm not seeing anything in the logs relating to sieve, and the
sieve script I point to isn't being compiled (no .log file).
Everything else works fine, this is a production system where I'm
trying to add sieve support.

What steps can I take to troubleshoot?
