Sieve mail filtering on Mac OS X Server 10.4

Hi folks,

Looks like Cyrusoft has gone bankrupt since Apple wrote the Mail  
Service 10.4 Manual.
I'm trying to learn how to install a script for a user and get it  
working.  I have not been able to find complete documentation  
anywhere online or in Apple's materials.  Pointers are welcome!

I currently have sendmail 8.13.8 running on Mac OS X Server 10.4 and  
delivering mail to Cyrus IMAP just fine.  But email sorting is an  
important feature that I need to get working.  Now I want to enable  
Sieve and install a script for at least one user.

P.S.  Any help with mapping the Folders I see in Mail.app to Cyrus  
Sieve paths would also be helpful.  Every example I come across on  
the web for Cyrus IMAP and/or Sieve uses paths which do not match the  
existing IMAP Folders I am currently using.

Note: I would also be willing to consider having sendmail deliver to  
procmail locally, but I have not been able to find a reliable way to  
get procmail to deliver into Cyrus IMAP.  Seems like getting Sieve to  
work would be simpler, but either approach will suffice.  I have  
experience with procmail from the previous Mac server, before the  
Xserve.
