The sieve draft I posted (except for some really trivial changes) has gone
out as an Internet-Draft.

Title : SIEVE: A Mail Filtering Language
Author(s) : T. Showalter
Filename : draft-showalter-sieve-00.txt
Pages : 19
Date : 04/18/1997
This document describes a mail filtering language for filtering messages at
time of final delivery. It is designed to be independent of protocol, and
implementable on either a mail client or mail server which uses multiple
folders. It is meant to be extensible, simple, and independent of access
protocol, mail architecture, and operating systems used to implement it.
Mail filtering systems are widely used for a variety of reasons, including
organization of messages (filtering out mailing list messages for separate
reading). They are becoming increasingly useful in avoiding unsolicited
mail. Existing languages are not consistant across client, server, or
operating system, and are frequently difficult for users to use. This
language is not tied to any particular system or mail architecture and is
suitable for running on a mail server where users may not be allowed to
execute arbitrary programs, such as on black box IMAP servers.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-showalter-sieve-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-showalter-sieve-00.txt
Internet-Drafts directories are located at:
o Africa: ftp.is.co.za
o Europe: ftp.nordu.net
ftp.nis.garr.it
o Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au
o US East Coast: ds.internic.net
o US West Coast: ftp.isi.edu
Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ds(_dot_)internic(_dot_)net(_dot_) In the
body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-showalter-sieve-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
