Reading this and 'man sievec'...

Here is how I have modified your script above:

require "fileinto";
if anyof
     (
         header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES",
         header :contains "subject" "***SPAM***"
     )
{
     fileinto "Spam";
}

And for sievec, I still use:

sieve_before = /home/sieve/globalfilter.sieve

dovecot will find the /home/sieve/globalfilter.svbin and proceed with 
that.  I don't have to specify the svbin in the sieve_before option.

thanks
