Hello,
where can I find the latest version of the RFC on filters?
And if I want to propose any additions, is this the place to do it?
Thanks,

Here (quoted below), and yes, this is the place to propose changes.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
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:

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.
