Hi,

Of course. This script is a python script that generates the bash script. It assumes that the maildir is directly und a users home and that also the sieve folder lives inside the maildir. But the script is very simple, so you can adopt it to your needs:
Second, it looks for a sieve script called default.sieve, which I told roundcube to use as a name. So maybe you need to adjust this as well.

The result looks something like:
------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
P=/srv/mail/virtual
umask 077
?
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr ${P}/deltaweb.de/__maildir__cr__
mkdir ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr
chown vmail:mail ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/__maildir__cr__ ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir
mkdir ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve
chown vmail:mail ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve
if [[ -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve/default.sieve ]]; then
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve/default.sieve ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/sieve/
test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.svbin && \
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.svbin ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/
test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.lda-dupes && \
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.lda-dupes ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/
test -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve.log && \
mv ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve.log ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/
( cd ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr; ln -s sieve/default.sieve .dovecot.sieve )
rm -f ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/.dovecot.sieve
fi
rm -rf ${P}/deltaweb.de/cr/maildir/sieve
?
exit 0
------------------------------------------------------------
It is not perfect, but for our server it did the trick ;-) So enjoy?
