Sieve for shared mailboxes

Sieve is run as part of the mail delivery into the mailbox.
That would either be deliver or the lmtp interface.

If your users are dragging and dropping the messages into the shared 
mailboxes then I don't believe that you can have sieve run on the mbox 
to mbox transfer.
