Many thanks to Vladislav and Merlin for setting me in the right

couple of follow up questions:

Just uncomment the sieve line in cyrus.conf

Following the documentation here:
 https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sieve.html

it looks like I also need to add a managesieve line to
/etc/cyrus/cyrus.conf?

   sieve         cmd="timsieved" listen="servername:sieve" prefork=0
   managesieve   cmd="timsieved" listen="servername:4190" prefork=0

Is this correct, or am I doing some superfluous?  I enabled managesieve
and roundcube is talking to the sieve server, but didn't test without.

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.

Actually, these may not be the same, depending on the contents of /etc/services for the "sieve" service.  This used to be 2000, prior to standardization in RFC5804.  So, if your /etc/services lists 4190, then get rid of the duplicate line.  The fact that Cyrus starts with both lines defined makes me think that either sieve isn't listed in /etc/services (which should have resulted in an error) or that it isn't 4190, since one cannot have two services defined for the same listen port.

Since this is our first time using sieve, I haven't worried about this
too much until now, but roundcube+managesieve  seems to be concerned
about the location of global sieve scripts:

   // default contents of filters script (eg. default spam filter)
   // $config['managesieve_default'] = '/etc/dovecot/sieve/global';
   $config['managesieve_default'] = '/var/imap/sieve';

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

There is.  Please see the documentation here:
    https://www.cyrusimap.org/imap/reference/admin/sieve.html#sieve-scripts-in-shared-folders

Quoting:

Cyrus has two types of repositories where Sieve scripts can live:

1. Personal is per user and

2. Global is for every user. Global scripts aren’t applied on incoming messages by default: users must include them in their scripts.

   • Note that there are two types of Global scripts: global and global per domain.

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.
