Got some time tonight to try a few things on our test server and I was able to get it going... all I was missing was the line in the plugin section. For the record I was able to point it to our previous global sieve script, i.e. sieve = /etc/dovecot-sieve/global
Thanks for your help Patrick!

Hi Gavin,

Previously (in v1.0) we did not need the plugin section: sieve = mailfilter.sieve
Is this now required even when just wanting to use a global sieve script? We have ~100 users so manually adding a mailfilter.sieve file to each users directory will be very time consuming.
Of course we created those mailfilter.sieve files automatically with a few lines of shell script, so it's not that much of a hassle. It also gives the benefit of being able to easily add user-specific rules.
But I don't think it is required - having only one global script should work, according to the documentation.
Are we able to input the full path name to our global script instead, i.e. /etc/dovecot-sieve/global?
I think we did something like that before, but that may have been with 1.0...
I tried using sieve_global_path = /etc/dovecot-sieve/global in the 'lda protocol' section but, as stated, the script seems to be ignored. The local delivery agent is working but everything gets delivered to the users inbox instead of being filtered.
According to the Wiki (http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve) this should indeed work. Did you check deliver's log - nothing interesting in there? Are you sure the sieve script works? Maybe some syntax changed, and the version 1.1 interpreter fails? You can check with sievec if the script (still) compiles correctly.
