Ok I just remebered that there was an article hoping that it handles Sieve 
too.

Sieve should already be running. Try "telnet <yourkolabbox> 2000" You should 
be able to connect and receive a welcome string. If you can not connect, you 
might have to enable this is the webinterface under "services".

To upload and manage your Sieve scripts you can either use "special" programs 
or a perlscript sieveshell located in /kolab/bin/. 

Sieve is a simple language and it should not be to hard to convert your 
existing .procmail to sieve. But sieve is not as powerfull as procmail is. So 
maybe you will loose some funcionallity.

There are some good guides out there explaining how to write sieve scripts 
which you can upload to the server. Google will help you there.
