That looks like an interesting idea for an alternative to the exim
per-user filtering capabilities - its basically the same design goals
and capabilities:-
This document describes a language for filtering e-mail messages at
time of final delivery. It is designed to be implementable on either
a mail client or mail server. It is meant to be extensible, simple,
and independent of access protocol, mail architecture, and operating
system. It is suitable for running on a mail server where users may
not be allowed to execute arbitrary programs, such as on black box
IMAP servers, as it has no variables, loops, or ability to shell out
to external programs.
The current draft is at:-
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-showalter-sieve-11.txt
The links from the main site that Miquel mentioned are unfortunately
borked. I guess the link above is short lived (ie end of month
timeframe).
