Sieve Mail Filtering Language (sieve) ------------------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 2008-08-21 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Cyrus Daboo Alexey Melnikov Applications Area Director(s): Chris Newman Lisa Dusseault Applications Area Advisor: Lisa Dusseault Mailing Lists: General Discussion:ietf-mta-filters@imc.org To Subscribe: ietf-mta-filters-request@imc.org In Body: body=subscribe Archive: http://www.imc.org/ietf-mta-filters/mail-archive/ Description of Working Group: The SIEVE email filtering language is specified in RFC 5228, together with a number of extensions. The SIEVE working group is being re-chartered to: (1) Finish work on existing in-progress Working Group documents: (a) Notify mailto (draft-ietf-sieve-notify-mailto) (c) Mime loops (draft-ietf-sieve-mime-loop) (d) Refuse/reject (draft-ietf-sieve-refuse-reject) (2) Finalize and publish the following SIEVE extensions as proposed standards: (a) iHave (draft-freed-sieve-ihave) (b) Notary (draft-freed-sieve-notary) (c) SIEVE in XML (draft-freed-sieve-in-xml) (d) Notify-sip (draft-melnikov-sieve-notify-sip-message) (e) ManageSIEVE (draft-martin-managesieve) (f) RegEx (draft-ietf-sieve-regex) (g) Meta-data (draft-melnikov-sieve-imapext-metadata) (h) Include/multi-script (draft-daboo-sieve-include) (i) Address data (draft-melnikov-sieve-external-lists) (j) Support for Sieve in IMAP (draft-ietf-lemonade-imap-sieve) Additional drafts may be added to this list, but only via a charter revision. There must also be demonstrable willingness in the SIEVE development community to actually implement a given extension before it can be added to this charter. (3) Work on a specification to describe how EAI/IDN issues should be handled in SIEVE. (4) Work on a "Benefits of SIEVE" guide for client and server vendors that: (a) Describes the SIEVE protocol and its suite of extensions. (b) Explains the benefits of server-side filtering in practical terms. (c) Shows how client-side filtering can be migrated to SIEVE. (5) Produce one or more informational RFCs containing a set of test scripts and test email messages that are to be filtered by the scripts, and the expected results of that filtering. This will serve as the basis of a interoperability test suite to help determine the suitability of moving the base specification and selected extensions to Draft status.
