The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Sieve -- Subaddress
Extension' <draft-murchison-sieve-subaddress-06.txt> as a Proposed
Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of
an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ned Freed and Ted
Hardie.
Technical Summary
On email systems that allow for "subaddressing" or "detailed
addressing" (eg, "ken+sieve(_at_)example(_dot_)org"), it is sometimes desirable
to make comparisons against these sub-parts of addresses. This draft
defines an extension to the Sieve mail filtering language that
allows users to compare against the user and detail parts of an
address.
Working Group Summary
This document is an extension to the sieve mail filtering language
defined in RFC 3028. There are already several implementations of
this extension.
Protocol Quality
Ned Freed reviewed the specification for the IESG.
RFC Editor note
Please change the title of this document to "Sieve Email
Filtering -- Subaddress Extension" to avoid confusion with other
uses of the term "subaddressing"
In the first paragraph of the introduction, the phrase "set of
messages" needs to be changed to "set of mailboxes".
