i dont know how to use sieve to filter spam ( thought it must exec a
external prog for that like spamc etc), some people use dspam plugin to
filter spam with dovecot, i only use sieve to filter allready marked
spam into
users spam folders, i use spamass-milter with postfix smtp level, there
are several ways you can do spam filtering, and on what level, so there
is amavis too etc

hm why arent you using distro packs....
if unsure where files are copied i.e do make install again
at the last few lines apaering you should see where they got copied
(for sure there are better ways to uninstall, i didnt thought of yet)
