sieve_before and sieve_after

I keep our global default script in /etc/dovecot/sieve/global, any 
scripts that run first go in /etc/dovecot/sieve/before and the post-user 
scripts go in /etc/dovecot/sieve/after.

I tend to put most scripts in the "after" folder with only a tiny 
handful of ultra-specific scripts that must run for every user in the 
"before" folder.

Scripts in the "after" folder can then be easily overridden by the user 
in their per-user scripts if they don't like how things are working.
