Likewise our product currently permits 5 different styles of sieve script.  One owned by the server administrator run before the message data is accepted through SMTP, one when the message reaches the domain, and the other 3 before the message data is written to the end users mailbox.  

Some actions operate differently depending on which script they are used in, for example fileinto in the server script files to the file system, not to a mail folder.

We found we needed a set of security related rules that the user could not opt out of, and a set of policy rules that they could, so the domain administrator controls a sieve script run immediately before, and one immediately after the end users' own script.  draft-degener-sieve-multiscript-00 documents a useful discussion of the complexities between "stop processing ANY more scripts" as opposed to "stop processing this script" which is certainly useful and might be worth keeping.
