You can use a "normal" user who has a sieve script:
require ...
any filter if necessary
fileinto "Public";
discard;
...

"Public" is your prefix
I have several subfolder so I use: fileinto "Public/subfolder1";

You would have
/home/vmail/xxx.com/Public/subfolder1
with cur new tmp
and a file "dovecot-acl" containing anyone lrs
