Trying to do antispam with Sieve

For the archives: after reading 
https://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2017-February/107039.html I found & 
fixed the issue, it appears I *must* use the inbox prefix, hence the 
configuration should be:

plugin {
   sieve_plugins = sieve_imapsieve sieve_extprograms
   imapsieve_mailbox1_name = INBOX.Spam
   imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY
   imapsieve_mailbox1_before = 
file:/usr/lib64/dovecot/sieve/report-spam.sieve
   imapsieve_mailbox2_name = *
   imapsieve_mailbox2_from = INBOX.Spam
   imapsieve_mailbox2_causes = COPY
   imapsieve_mailbox2_before = 
file:/usr/lib64/dovecot/sieve/report-ham.sieve
   sieve_pipe_bin_dir = /usr/lib64/dovecot/sieve
   sieve_global_extensions = +vnd.dovecot.pipe +vnd.dovecot.environment
}

Perhaps worth adding a note to 
https://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/AntispamWithSieve for this case?
