Thanks to all of you for your tips. I am still struggling to process all of
this, but will keep working at it.
Do you any of you know of a detailed tutorial on the net somewhere that would
explain how to set this up from a-z?
Thanks again!

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?

User.sieve name and set with proper ownership settings given to LDA/LMTP user
since its compiled when user receives an email, therefore refer to dovecot
status or logs if there is permission issues. Lastly, you will have to create
for it a symbolic link with .dovecot.sieve name referencing user.sieve personal
file e.g. like the following:-
