pysieved is the service usually (AFAIK) used with Exim for providing
ManageSieve service. It has a mode to automatically insert the "# Sieve
filter" line which Exim requires as a transparent step, an
implementation detail of the store, not exposed to the clients.

It already has support for MySQL for various things, so if the actual
script storage can't be in MySQL at present, you could add it easily
enough, as long as you can write Python.

I'm the author of sieve-connect, the ManageSieve client which is
packaged by a few OSes; it's known to work with Cyrus IMAP's timsieved
and with pysieved. When testing by hand with Exim, pysieved is what
I've used.
