        Title           : Sieve -- a Mail Filtering Language
        Author(s)       : T. Showalter
        Filename        : draft-showalter-sieve-03.txt
        Pages           : 28
        Date            : 27-Jan-98
        
   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.  It is meant to be extensible, simple, and independent of
   access protocol, mail architecture, and operating system.  It 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, as
   it has no variables, loops, or ability to shell out to external
   programs.

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-03.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:
ftp://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-showalter-sieve-03.txt

Internet-Drafts directories are located at:

        Africa: ftp.is.co.za
        
        Europe: ftp.nordu.net
                ftp.nis.garr.it
                        
        Pacific Rim: munnari.oz.au
        
        US East Coast: ds.internic.net

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-03.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.
