Yes.  Read the latest <cough> expired draft:  (how's it going Tim? ;)

For testing, use sieveshell to install and activate your script.

Yes, a handful.  Do a search for 'sieve' at sourceforge.net.  One of the
most commonly used interfaces is Websieve which I use hear for my
users.  You could also try easysieve
(http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/source/).  I haven't tried it, but based on
other code that I've seen from Gary, its probably well written.
