dovecot - Jun 2011 - dovecot global sieve script problem

I cutover to a new server which uses Postfix & Dovecot to handle emails as
opposed to Postfix & Courier in the old server.

Below is the contents of my global sieve script and dovecot config info. The
dovecot-deliver.log does show that the email is being delivered to INBOX.spam
but it ends up in the INBOX instead.

If I put the exact same rule in the user script, the emails are delivered into
the INBOX.spam folder. Currently as a work around, I created user rules for all
users and add this. For most users, it is the only rule.

So my question is, why does it not work with the global script? Any help would
be appreciated.


Thanks,
Dhaval

sieve_global_path
A path to a global sieve script file, which gets executed ONLY if user's
private Sieve script doesn't exist, e.g. /var/lib/dovecot/default.sieve. Be
sure to pre-compile this script manually using the sievec command line tool, as
explained below.

Did you manually compile the global script?

Actually, for the kind of behavior that you described you need to use 
the multiscript feature:

http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sieve/Dovecot#Executing_Multiple_Scripts_Sequentially

So, if you use sieve_before instead, it should work as required.
