I've heard of Sieve, but although I've been managing Internet mail systems since the very early 90s, I have yet to actually encounter a site that actually uses it.  At least, so far as I know -- maybe they use it and I don't know about it.

Right, that was one of the big reasons that I've already enabled the 2.0 experimental features, and I'm really looking forward to 2.0 shipping.  However, I have not yet had any chance to look at how they're implemented or how to set them up.
