Sounds like you want Dovecot LDA (Local Delivery Agent)
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
It has the following features:
# Mailbox indexing during mail delivery, quicker mailbox access
# Quota enforcing by plugin
# Sieve language support
* Mail filtering
* Mail forwarding
* Vacation auto-reply
And sieve is a mail filtering language, not a script to process
exisiting mailboxes. (Fastmail has excellent examples and info
http://wiki.fastmail.fm/index.php/SieveExamples)
It works in a very similar way to procmail and is implemented in Dovecot
LDA.
I use LDA with Dovecot on etch and i'm very happy with it.
