That's kind of what I figured.  I resorted to modifying a .mailfilter in
the user directory, and then changed my maildroprc file to read:

exception {
	include "/var/spool/mail/$DEFAULT/.mailfilter"
}


Then, I modified the web app that the users can use to generate their
filters to write out a new .mailfilter when they are finished editing.
