[Dovecot] Dovecot Sieve Broken with 1.1 RPMs?

[Mailing List]

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!
