Global sieve doesn't run and I don't know why

[Ranbir]

Hi Everyone,

I have dovecot, postfix, roundcube and piegeonhole managesieve all
working nicely together. Personal scripts defined in roundcube run
without issue.

I have configured the global sieve dir defined in 90-sieve.conf:

sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/

I pre-compiled the script in there:

# ls -l /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/global/
total 8
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 118 Sep 19 16:52 global.sieve
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 197 Sep 19 16:56 global.svbin

But, in the logs for dovecot, I never see the script being run:

Users are from freeipa. Their home directories are symlinks to where
the mail really lives. For example:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 ranbir         virtual 42 May 25  2017 ranbir -> /var/spool/mail/domain.tld/ranbir/

And the contents of that dir:

[root at mailhost conf.d]# ls -al /home/DOMAIN/ranbir/
total 64
drwxrwx---.  4 ranbir  virtual  4096 Sep 18 17:40 .
drwxrwx---+ 13 virtual virtual  4096 Jul  8 12:06 ..

lrwxrwxrwx.  1 virtual virtual    23 Sep 18 16:53 .dovecot.sieve.log -> sieve/dovecot.sieve.log
-rw-rw----.  1 virtual virtual   322 Sep 18 17:40 .dovecot.svbin

-rw-------.  1 ranbir  ranbir   6415 Feb 11  2018 .viminfo

Did I miss something in the configuration? Dovecot isn't throwing any
errors. I can only conclude I haven't completed the setup for global
sieve to work or that I've misunderstood what the "sieve_global_dir"
paramater is for.

Thanks!
