I solved my problem the easy/lazy way: I use the LDA from dovecot via a
pipe command in .forward: I put

| "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver"


in .forward of the account I need it for (that's the location of deliver
on Debian; it's different on other systems).
I also created .dovecot.sieve containing

# CMUsieve (dovecot LDA)

require ["imapflags", "fileinto" ];

  # Dump messages that SpamAssassin considers spam to Junk folder
  if header :contains "x-spam-score" "++++" {
    fileinto "Junk";
  }


  else {
    # Add label "to do"
    addflag "$Label4";
    keep;
  }


in the home dir of that account. Works like a charm. I like it that
dovecot lets me use mail folder names as IMAP-clients see them, as
opposed to the real names in the filesystem as exim requires me to do
(AFAIK).
