It also understands the 'seive' filter language (an alternative to procmail).
I don't consider it an alternative to procmail because you cannot pass mail to external programmes, like spamassassin or vacation. Sure, sieve has its own vacation module, but I find that to be rather limited. See this thread:
Well, the whole point of sieve, I believe, is to make it something that an admin would want to let arbitrary users modify on their own recognizance, and the ability to specify arbitrary programs to run would be just *asking* to be hacked.
But I understand your desire there. At that point, I'd say the heck with it, just use procmail and don't worry about deliver. That's what I do, and my users are all impressed with dovecot's snappiness, irregardless of (or despite) its indexing. In a word: don't solve a problem that doesn't exist. :)

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. -- Harry Truman
