I would really keep those requirements at the MTA level using aliasing
and whatnot. Delivering a message to multiple folders within a single
maildir (duplication) can be one using sieve.

Wrong. http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Pigeonhole/Sieve lists several (albeit
experimental) extensions that can run external programs. Setup is not as
easy as with procmail (sorry, no maildrop experience here) but it gives
the administrator control over what disasters can be triggered when
email triggers execution of external tools set up by users.

dovecot has the antispam plugin, which can be used to call sa-learn (or
any other tool) for each message that is moved in/out of the spam
folder. See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Plugins/Antispam for details
