That's an example implementation of something which is currently in IETF
draft. See:
draft-showalter-sieve-12.txt
draft-showalter-sieve-vacation-04.txt
draft-murchison-sieve-regex-02.txt
draft-murchison-sieve-subaddress-01.txt
and the mailing list <ietf-mta-filters@???>. I think that
subscription is a case of:
$ echo subscribe | Mail -s '' ietf-mta-filters-request@???
and the list archive is at
<
http://www.imc.org/ietf-mta-filters/mail-archive/>
I lurk on the list. :^)

I was thinking that Sieve would be just another transport, but with the
director defining other transports (file_transport, etc) for things like
'keepinto'. That way you can integrate cleanly into the existing setup
and not lose out on the support for various mail stores, etc.
