i recently upgraded a server from dovecot 2.1 to 2.3
unfortunately sieve does not appear to be working. The user scripts have
not changed, and neither has the dovecont config. using managesieve
allows me to create new sieve files and setting one as default updates
the link in ~/ to point to the correct file, but the .dovecot.svbin file
is not changed (unless i run sievec /home/username/.dovecot.sieve )
I have tested an out of office script that was working on the old
system, and a simple test script that flags the mail as $label1 as per
an example.
email arrives in users mailboxes but sieve scripts don't appear to be
doing anything. below is the output of doveconf -n (hostname changed for
security)

Any pointers on what might be wrong or how to test would be appreciated,
