Yes, that's correct.

Filtering can be done on the server, the Sieve protocol is already part of 
Kolab's Cyrus IMAP server. Kolab already does the forward/vacation functions 
through Sieve. However, to create custom Sieve rules, you need to write the 
scripts manually or use a frontend software. I recommend Smartsieve because 
it can easily be installed on the Kolab server and it works very well. More 
information can be found here:
