Have you looked at Sieve and ManageSieve? Sieve is a basic filtering
language that can be used in .forward files and is understood by Exim.
The idea of ManageSieve I believe is that you can run a ManageSieve
server and users can then edit their .forward file remotely, using a
ManageSieve compliant user interface. Potentially that could then be
integrated into a web site, or an MUA etc (there's an extension for
Thunderbird for instance).
Cyrus apparently has a ManageSieve server built into it, though I'm not
aware of any other major implementations, which is a shame. I'd be
interested to hear if anybody knows of one.
