Replying to myself.  It seems that DEFAULT_MAIL_ENV is *required* in 
order for dovecot-lda to operate correctly (this is a big limitation, 
IMHO).  The problem was that I was not setting it to the correct value. 
  For the list archives, the correct answer is as follows.

Add the following line to dovecot.conf:

	default_mail_env = maildir:%h/Maildir

and in .qmail-default for the domain have this line:

	| /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $EXT@$USER

and then add a .dovecot.sieve file in the virtual user home directory 
(typically /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/user) and it will be 
compiled and acted upon.
