dovecot - Apr 2020 - Sieve with links?

Is there any reason that a .active_sieve file would not load because it is a
symbolic link? The target of the link is readable by the mail user, but instead
of getting the trace for the .active_sieve file, I only get the trace for the
default sieve file.

Does `doveadm sieve list` show it as active script?

Users are all virtual, so not sure who much that matters.

# doveadm sieve list
