Yeah, looks good. However, do you host multiple domains? In your config 
you differ domains:

  mail_location = mbox:/home/vmail/domains/%d/%u

with sieve = /var/sieve-scripts/%u.sieve , too, but
with sieve_dir = /home/vmail/domains/sieve/%n/.sieve you do not.

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables
  %u user     full username (e.g. user at domain)
  %n username user part in user at domain, same as %u if there's no domain
  %d domain   domain part in user at domain, empty if user with no domain

I suppose, you should use:

sieve_dir = /home/vmail/domains/sieve/%u/.sieve

otherwise info at example.org and info at localhost share the same Sieve dir.

BTW: Because you have an unique directory per user now anyway, why not 
use is that as home directory? I'm not sure, what other things use the 
home for. E.g. use

mail_home = /home/vmail/domains/home/%d/%u

and keep the home-relative paths for Sieve: ~/...
