Hey, why not? Now that you've switched from UW-IMAP to Cyrus, you need 
something to do with your spare CPU cycles..

Maybe a hook could be bolted in whenever an IMAP fetch or store command is 
requested. There is a possible protocol for this called ICAP, for which 
patches to squid exist. At least Symantec offer a commercial ICAP server; 
there's a GPLish one written in Python IIRC.

Alternatively a small, clean API could be introduced at build time (a bit
like local_scan() in Exim 4) or via DSOs (a la Apache), and if someone
wanted to write an ICAP client as such a function or modules it would be
their concern.
