Set up per user sieve rules

This is the contents of /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf

plugin  {
  sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
  sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
  sieve_dir = ~/sieve
  sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/
}

Does that give any further insights? The contents of that file make me think that would work if I was using unix users in my mail server instead of virtual users. Is there something that I need change to make this work with virtual users?

I am curious Shawn, what the contents of your /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf file is?

Thanks,

Austin Witmer
