In order to use sieve with dovecot, you must

1) be running a very recent version (1.0.RC2 recommended)
2) build dovecot with deliver (--with-deliver)
3) build the sieve plugin out of cvs
4) configure dovecot to use the sieve plugin
5) create a sieve script for the user
6) configure your LDA to use dovecot's deliver

You don't have to be running any special software to do #4; the sieve 
scripts are normal textfiles which will be compiled when deliver first 
attempts a deliver to that user.  See
