Both maildrop and procmail are configured using a file in the user's home 
directory.  Perhaps what you need for your users is Sieve, which has a nice 
client/server protocol for editing filtering rules and has a nice web 
front-end that is actually reasonably usable (for a web interface) so even 
users who don't understand how to write a regex can make good useful rules.

One thing odd about that web interface...it only seems to pickup new IMAP 
folders during login...if I add a new folder to my IMAP store, then I have to 
log out and log back in AFTER my email client actually communicates with the 
IMAP server and really creates the new IMAP folder on the server.

Sieve comes as part of the Cyrus IMAP server, so you would have to switch.  
it's a little more work to stand up than Dovecot, but it's not bad at all.

Like I said in my other reply, this was my first thought.
