no, Cyrus does not have support for a global Sieve script, but you could
do this in your MTA (e.g. Exim) instead.

I looked at the manual for GNU Mailutils, but couldn't find anything
like this. you really want the Sieve "variables" extension:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sieve-variables-08.txt
as far as I know, no one has yet started work on implementing this for
Cyrus. the draft itself has been approved for publication as an RFC as
soon as its dependencies have been published, so the syntax is frozen.
