[imp] Custom Options

[Derek Becker]

What about sieve (rfc3028) implementations? Cyrus implements it and it
looks like pretty decent language for mail filtering. At least using a
standard language interface might allow for using different backends with
just a single interface. From what I've read about sieve, it's pretty
flexible and it can map fairly easily to a procmail script or other
filtering setups.
