You can test Sieve outside normal delivery using the sieve-test tool; 
include the global sieve_before script using a -s argument.

Alternatively, you can use the vnd.dovecot.debug extension as follows:

require ["fileinto", "mailbox", "vnd.dovecot.debug"];

if address :domain "From" "trusted.tld" {
   fileinto :create "trusted";
   debug_log "Tried to save in \"trusted\"";
}

You need to add the vnd.dovecot.debug extension to sieve_extensions in your 90-sieve.conf, e.g.:

sieve_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.debug

This will produce the following output in the user's personal sieve log (typically ~/.dovecot.sieve.log):

sieve: info: started log at Mar 15 15:13:29.
main_script: line 5: info: DEBUG: Tried to save in "trusted".
info: msgid=unspecified: stored mail into mailbox 'trusted'.

If the DEBUG line is missing at your end, the fileinto is not executed at all. If it is, and things are still delivered in INBOX, something else is going on.

Stephan.
