I only looked at sieve very briefly, but I don't think it could fetch
data from an external database? You'd either need per-user sieve
scripts (or at least per-profile), to be able to differentiate
between different filtering demands by users.

I suppose the outbound MTA has only one spamfiltering setting: the one
you (the administrator) choose. It should not depend on the recipient,
so it's a lot easier to configure.
