Hello Patrick,

these lines look like the same. Sieve port is 4190, and the first item
is IMHO just a name. Just keep the first one.

There is nothing like global sieve script in cyrus (at least I did not
find a way how to do it.)

The option above is path to a default script (file, not folder) that
will be applied to the user upon first login to roundcube. I use it as a
template for users with some recommended settings or disabled examples.
I usually put it into /etc/roundcube/roundcube.script, but you can put
it almost anywhere. (perhaps somewhere in document_root for roundcube is
also fine).

Do not rely on it as default. It is applied only if the user does not
have a sieve script yet. After that users are free to modify it. If
someone does not use roundcube at all, he will not get that script applied.
