Dovecot has had Sieve support for quite some time. It is mentioned on the download page.

Sorry... I know about and am using the sieve plugin... I should have said MANAGESIEVE. I realise there's a patch for that, but I was wondering if something's going to make it into 1.1.

I don't think so.

In the meantime you can use pysieved. The 1.0 release should be out any day now.

Either use the Dovecot patch from here:

http://sinas.rename-it.nl/~sirius/

or run the pysieved managesieve server from here:

http://woozle.org/~neale/repos/pysieved/

We use the latter with great success. No patch to maintain and it's written in Python so you can make it do whatever you want pretty much with just a little scripting knowledge (not a requirement).

so what's the suggested setup for server-side mail filtering right now ?

If you're a Horde fan, another way besides pysieved is to use the Dovecot sieve plugin and Horde's Ingo application. It takes a bit of work, but you can set it up so that when users create/modify filters within Horde, it writes out the appropriate Sieve file that the Dovecot plugin can parse. It makes for an easy GUI for filter rules that pretty much any user can figure out.

Gentoo makes this easier since the sieve use flag causes the patch to be downloaded and compiled into Dovecot for you, so you only have to worry about the configuration, not getting and applying the patch.
