I should really check out this extension! ;-)

Ok, basically I know that there is Sieve, Procmail, Maildrop and
"custom" solutions. So for example Macnews/Macbay runs Communigate Pro
which has build in filters/rules.

For Sieve, Procmail and Maildrop, there should be PHP implementations
already - at least so I think I remember. ;-) Maybe you can clean them
up and create an Abstract/Interface class which is implemented.

E.g.
abstract class rc_filter
{}

rc_filter_sieve extends rc_filter
{}

To provide one class interface which can always be used when someone
says, "hey my vanilla imap got his own rules, i am gonna contribute".

Cheers,
