Odd. Some lib Sieve uses? These directories do not appear in user
home directories unless I install the newest Sieve (and not until
a delivery via LMTP happens). No other changes. No other software
is currently accessing user home locations at all.

The configuration for that was not of my doing (doesn't that mean
it shouldn't have shown up in doveconf -n?). Yes, the .sieve scripts
in user home are regular files. Strange 0.4.6 didn't mind this
situation, but seems easy to put the configuration right and move on.
