[Dovecot] post-login scripting failing with "denied access to user" v2.1.7

[Frank]

Thanks Daniel,

That worked well.
The default spam filter is now created properly.
I have placed sieve filters in the parent directory of the Maildir,
otherwise the .dovecot.sieve file is erroneously interpreted as a maildir by IMAP clients.

The way I have used parent directories ($HOME/../) in the script results in a warning from manage sieve but I think it is harmless as the filter work fine:
dovecot: managesieve(test at fqdn.net): Warning: sieve-storage: Active sieve script symlink /home/vmail/fqdn.net/test/Maildir/../.dovecot.sieve is broken: invalid/unknown path to storage (points to /home/vmail/fqdn.net/test/Maildir/../sieve/managesieve.sieve).

Is there a way to suppress this warning?
