Thanks Shawn for your reply. I am a novice at this as well!
I should clarify that I have my user database in PostgreSQL.
The maildirs are at /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/austin
See below. What am I doing wrong?

Can anyone else chip in here to help me out?
Thanks so much!

I am struggling to wrap my mind around how to set up sieve rules for my individual users on my mail server.
I set up a global sieve script file at "/var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve” and that works great.
My users maildirs are located at /mnt/volume1/mailserver/maildir/user. Do I need to create a sieve script file inside of that folder for sieve scripts to work on an individual basis? If so, what permissions will that script file need?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I've got the user database for dovecot in a MySQL database managed by phpmyadmin.
This is what can be found as far as files and permissions for my email user's sieve setup:

I use the managesieve plugin for roundcube to handle changes to my sieve script. At least I think that's what the plugin is called. I set it up a LONG time ago. Most of the time I access mail with Thunderbird. This is my doveconf -n output:

If somebody sees something I should change in my config, please tell me. I am not an expert.
Thanks, Shawn
