No, because the MTA either accepts or rejects a message [in
connection]. If a message is sent to userX and userY and userX has
SIEVE set to reject the message and userY does not then the MTA has to
receive the message in order to deliver it to userY. And the MTA
would have to check every recipient's SIEVE script. Then what about
delivery to an alias that expands to multiple users? Mail delivery
just isn't that simple.
