Does any server at all support Sieve filtering?  I would expect to see
it in Cyrus, but I didn't see any mentioning about it when I installed
cyrus imapd.

Sieve looks like the "standard" for filtering, but it still would need
server-specific configurations since this isn't the IMAP protocol. It
would also require that some server supported it.. ;-)
