I use Horde Ingo (along with IMP, etc to provide groupware) with an FTP VFS backend to upload the generated script. This does mean that updates to filters are slow since it has to initiate an FTP connection, and it also means you need an FTP server with access to the user's homedir. That said, it does work quite well, and if you decide to go that route, I can post the relevant backend section from the ingo config.
That sounds like a bit of overkill for my situation. I'm running a small mail server on a Buffalo Linkstation (PowerPC-powered NAS), so I like to keep it simple. I have installed Squirrelmail on this thing, so I was hoping that Avelsieve would work, but either I haven't found the right configuration, or it simply cannot (yet).
I am however eagerly awaiting the managesieve addition to dovecot which will open up sieve on dovecot to a large selection of clients.
I'm still confused on how sieve works with dovecot. Without enabling the sieve plugin in the dovecot config-file, it seems to work for me. But I have no idea which program/library does the actual sieve filtering.
For now, it's probably easier to settle for writing sieve filter manually, and then upgrade to a more convenient interface when one is available.
