CMU Sieve can't be used to pipe messages to programs like you can with 
procmail.  Sieve was designed to be simple and to protect 
less-than-savvy users from doing silly/stupid things with their mail.  I 
have not seen any defined extension to sieve to allow piping to 
arbitrary programs.

Scott Russell's suggestion is one way to do what you want.
