Server side filtering used to be a unique feature of Cyrus. Now with 
maildrop, Courier has similar functionality. Cyrus still leads the "big,
full-featured, scalable server" segment, but Courier is in my opinion
simpler and functionally sufficient. With about a small hundred LDAP
accounts we switched from Cyrus to Courier a few months ago when a
server migration gave us the opportunity to do so, and we are very happy
with Courier. Sqwebmail provides a web interface to control all aspects
of Maildrop's server side filtering (the web interface actually edits
the user's .mailfilterrc). There is also a plugin for squirrelmail -
