I guess this problem belongs to the matcher/mailet using jsieve, right?

In this case I think the best way is to simply throw an exception and
then document the use of standard exception
onMatchException/onMailetException handling in james server:
http://wiki.apache.org/james/HandlingExceptions

I think the exception handling is one of the most interesting features
and yet less used features we have in the mailet processing engine.
