For compiling look at the beginning of mail-filter-plugin.c

For using add it to mail_plugins and:

plugin {
  mail_filter_executable = /path/to/your/script.sh
}

A script could be for example (totally insecure and broken):

#!/bin/sh

sed s/Hello/Hi/ > /tmp/foo
cat /tmp/foo
rm /tmp/foo

Unfortunately you can't both read stdin and write to stdout at the same time because of some internal Dovecot problems with it. So you'll have to write it to a temp file and then output that after the entire input is read.
