You'd also need to activate managesieve in `mail_plugins` in Dovecot. See mail/managesieve for the plugin to (as it says) manage your sieve configuration remotely. Additionally you need sieve itself i.e., mail/dovecot2-pigeonhole. I would like to add that Postfix's documentation indeed is great. Have a look at http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html and especially http://www.postfix.org/STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.html for configuration examples for common use cases. Niklaas
