dovecot - Sep 2014 - Confusing wording on the wiki

Hi,

I am confused by the wording of this Wiki entry:

  sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve

  The path to the user's main active Sieve script. When ManageSieve is 
used, this is a symbolic link pointing to the active script in the 
sieve_dir directory. Avoid placing the active Sieve script inside the 
sieve_dir directory.

So this should be a link *to* the active script in the sieve_dir 
directory however the active script shouldn't actually be in that 
directory????

Confused :S

This is the file/link which dovecot does load for SIEVE rule processing. Dovecot
does not need to know whether this is a symlink or not.

The sieve_dir is usually in directory "sieve" which is in the same
directory as the .dovecot.sieve symlink. The actual files are inside of the
sieve directory.

Mail_home / .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/one
Mail_home / sieve / one
Mail_home / sieve / two

Yes, the link should not be located in the sieve directory. And the sieve
configuration directive should point to the link (or any other file to use for
SIEVE).
