I am confused by the wording of this Wiki entry:
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
This is the file/link which dovecot does load for SIEVE rule processing. Dovecot does not need to know whether this is a symlink or not.
The path to the user's main active Sieve script. When ManageSieve is used, this is a symbolic link pointing to the active script in the sieve_dir directory. Avoid placing the active Sieve script inside the sieve_dir directory.
The sieve_dir is usually in directory "sieve" which is in the same directory as the .dovecot.sieve symlink. The actual files are inside of the sieve directory.
Mail_home / .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/one Mail_home / sieve / one Mail_home / sieve / two
So this should be a link *to* the active script in the sieve_dir directory however the active script shouldn't actually be in that directory?
Yes, the link should not be located in the sieve directory. And the sieve configuration directive should point to the link (or any other file to use for SIEVE).
