Sieve Symlink Creation

[dovecot at ptld.com]

The first time when the sieve files and folders get created, the active symlink is created as a full absolute path

     .active_sieve -> /mnt/email/domain/user/_sieve/filters.sieve

After that, if you disable and enable the rule set the symlink gets recreated as relative

     .active_sieve -> filters.sieve

How can i have the symlink always created as a relative path even on first time creation?
Having a full absolute path over a mounted NSF is fragile.
