[Dovecot] dovecot-1.1 not using sieve

[Thomas Carstensen]

no .dovecot.sievec is created anywhere :-(

i put the sieve-script named .dovecot.sieve in into this folder:

/usr/local/mail/domain.toplevel/username/Maildir/
and to as a sym-link into /usr/local/mail/domain.toplevel/username

maillog says nothing at all about imap/sieve:
