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'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.
