You hopefully see that you have mismatching path information:

 > dovecot: lda(user at domain.com): Debug: sieve: script file /home/mail/
 > domain.com/.dovecot.sieve not found

 > dovecot: lda(hendrik): Debug: sieve: using sieve path for user's script:

So please provide your "doveconf -n" output or at least validate 
yourself the sieve settings.

And .dovecot.sieve is a symlink to the active sieve filter.
