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.
