We can, and do, store individual 'system filters' in each user's ldap
entry. They're system filters in two senses:
1) they can do anything a system filter can do, and
2) we don't let users edit them.
However, we do have a web application that permits users to edit their user
filters. It presents a simple interface to forwarding and vacation
messages. You could do something similar for a system filter.
