After thinking more about comments received regarding the reject draft, I would propose that instead of adding options to reject that would make it behave "do X if able to reject message over protocol and nothing otherwise" (originally proposed by Kejtil, if I am not mistaken), we should define proper Sieve environment test extension. The extension should define something for testing if Sieve engine is running in MTA/MDA, versa running in MDA.

That's not equivalent. The equivalent would be "is sieve engine running in MTA/MDA, and do all recipients of this invoke the reject action?". That seems a little odd for an enviroment test extension. If course it's possible to simplify a little and ask e.g. "is sieve engine running in MTA/MDA, and is this a single-recipient message?" which still seems out of scope for an environment test.

So I would like to poll the WG regarding the following:

1). Does the WG has enough information to decide if this is a reasonable suggestion?

Perhaps.

2). If the answer to #1 is yes, does the WG want to delay publication of reject until after the environment extension is done, or is it Ok to submit it to IESG sooner?

No.
