Thanks Shawn for your reply. I am a novice at this as well! I should clarify that I have my user database in PostgreSQL. The maildirs are at /mnt/volume1/mailserver/plain/maildir/austin See below.

This is the contents of /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf
plugin {
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_global_path = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/default.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
sieve_global_dir = /var/lib/dovecot/sieve/
}
Does that give any further insights? The contents of that file make me think
that would work if I was using unix users in my mail server instead of virtual
users. Is there something that I need change to make this work with virtual
users?
I am curious Shawn, what the contents of your /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-sieve.conf
file is?
Thanks,
Austin Witmer

Do I need to create a sieve script file inside of that folder for sieve scripts
to work on an individual basis? If so, what permissions will that script file
need?
