I tend to agree with (name I forgot here...sorry) that XML shouldn't be used for scripting so much, and I'm not sure how you merge the configuration needed for mailets and matchers with a scripting section.
BUT... what I was going to suggest is what about using EL (defined originally in JSTL and now available in commons) as a way to the scripting.
This could be a bear to implement (which it already is, and needs to be improved), but this could immediate give us a somewhat-standard and much richer logic and evaluation.
Matchers could get configured and be EL functions. Just as a way to improve the matching logic.
Any thoughts? Tracking how things like Siege and procmail work, there is just a lot more a sysadmin can do with simple scripting. James can extend way beyond what those can do, but you are stuck with tough scripting or turning to Java code (which is what I originally wanted many years ago, and now think is bad).
