Our IMAP servers run 'ManageSieve', this is a service which clients talk to in order to create and edit sieve filters. ManageSieve runs on port 4190 on the IMAP servers. There are various clients which support ManageSieve, e.g.:
 
*RoundCube - our web
*RoundCube - our webmail has a Filters option in the settings - We'd recommend this even if you don't usually use webmail.
