I am not familiar with Ubuntu specifics, but iirc Stephan Bosch (creator of sieve plugin) has a repo with debian builds of dovecot+sieve.
I would need something that is sieve only, as Dovecot is already installed, configured, and running.
I'm also considering writing a program to be run by Postfix in place of "deliver", which will read the mail to determine how to run "deliver". As long as mail comes in on stdin and is written on stdout, it should be relatively easy (pipe(), fork(), maybe setsid(), execve() in child, read() and write() in parent). But this would take some thorough testing to be sure it is safe.
That software is already written and tested, it is the sieve plugin. If you're willing to write, test and run a complete new piece of software, you might as well replace dovecot with a sieve enabled version of the same package you're running now, and putting your current configuration in place.
Anyhow, maybe sieve is already available in your current package. I'm not familiar with (contents of) ubuntu packages, so maybe someone more knowledgeable in this area can step up?
