With Courier-IMAP and DoveCot, you'll want to use maildrop for
server-side filtering. SIEVE, AFAIU, is currently only usable with
Cyrus IMAP servers. I've yet to find any information on using SIEVE
with anything else.
There's lot of information out there on the Courier and Postfix sites
for configuring maildrop to work with Courier.
