The problem is just that (hopefully) your Webserver is not allowed to
execute commands as the mail-user... otherwise you are in big trouble!
Check out what the Squirrelmail people did for their serversidefilter
plugin - it's not that easy to solve that issue in a secure way.
The plugin (probably) utilizes IMAP functions. At least that is
doable, secure and relatively easy.
The downside to this is that the actions are only invoked when you use
your webmail. Which does not really make sense (IMO). Think about
users who have Outlook/Thunderbird, and then use the webmail when they
are on the road. It would only work half way.
