I think that's why he asked the question?

I presume he wants to filter first with maildir, then actually deliver 
using the dovecot delivery agent?


In answer to the OP: read the maildropex man pages, but you have several 
options, eg:

to "| someprogram"
or:
xfilter someprogram
`someprogram`

However, almost certainly I think you want the top option?

Good luck
