My guess is that Sieve can't find your "sendmail" binary to process the 
rejection message, which causes the script to fail, thus doing an 
implicit keep (delivering to INBOX).  Try setting the "sendmail" option 
in imapd.conf to the explicit path of the "sendmail" program/script 
provided by Postfix and see if this solves the problem.
