Looks good to me

hehe, no problems, I wont comment on namespaces since I don't use 
anything special in that regards, but sieve is easy to configure

service managesieve-login {
         service_count = 1
         process_min_avail = 0
         vsz_limit = 64M
         inet_listener sieve {
                 port = 4190
         }
}

service managesieve {
         process_limit = 1024
}

protocol sieve {
         managesieve_max_line_length = 65536
         managesieve_logout_format = bytes=%i/%o
         managesieve_implementation_string = Dovecot Pigeonhole
         managesieve_max_compile_errors = 5
         mail_max_userip_connections = 10
}


set...
in global:
protocols = pop3 imap sieve (assuming you use both pop3 and imap)


protocol lda:
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve


and in the plugin section, something like
         sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
         sieve_dir = ~/sieve
         sieve_vacation_min_period = 1d
         sieve_vacation_default_period = 7d

...and you're all set
