This is how I'm doing it.  I'm running version 1.2.15.  All users are
virtual, stored in mysql, this is where mail goes:

mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%u/

There are a few config lines that handle sieve scripts:

in the "protocol lda" section:
  sieve_global_path = /home/vmail/global.sieve

in the "plugin" section:
  sieve=/home/vmail/sieve/%d/%u/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_dir=/home/vmail/sieve/%d/%u/sieve

I am using managesieve.  There's a sieve plugin in my squirrelmail
install so users can manage their filters.

Thanks,
Shawn
