I could add it, if there was interest and somebody to try it
and/or give feedback.

Nope- any major optimization effort is somewhere in the future.  In fact
I'd be willing to bet that it's slower than some other tools.  OTOH,
here it's processing around 90,000 messages per day (down from around
400,000 before I did some SMTP-time tightening) on a PIII-700 system.

Naturally it's not alone :-)
The bincdrop project looks like a neat thing, if you are looking for
tighter integration of the delivery agent and binc and a focus on Sieve.
mvmda uses Sieve as one of its modes and as an embedded language,
although I have reports of people using it in Sieve-only mode as well.

Don't really know -- maybe somebody does?
