Thanks Bruce.

That does look interesting! 

I've looked at sieve before for other reasons, but ended up not going 
with it because it wasn't able to deliver mail to other processes (like 
spamassassin and more importantly a home-grown support/ticket system we 
developed).    Maybe that's changed since I last looked??

We're currently using maildrop for filtering and local delivery.

Do you know if there's a way to integrate the two?   Possibly using 
maildrop to start, and then do the final delivery through sieve?

Or is there another way to achieve this?

Thanks again,
Matt
