Description of Working Group:
The SIEVE email filtering language is specified in RFC 5228,
together with a number of extensions.
The SIEVE working group is being re-chartered to:
(1) Finish work on existing in-progress Working Group documents:
(a) Notify mailto (draft-ietf-sieve-notify-mailto.txt)
(b) Edit header (draft-ietf-sieve-editheader-10.txt)
(c) Mime loops (draft-ietf-sieve-mime-loop-04.txt)
(d) Refuse/reject (draft-ietf-sieve-refuse-reject-06.txt)
(2) Finalize and publish the following SIEVE extensions as proposed
standards:
(a) iHave (draft-freed-sieve-ihave-02.txt)
(b) Notary (draft-freed-sieve-notary-01.txt)
(c) SIEVE in XML (draft-freed-sieve-in-xml-01.txt)
(d) Notify-sip (draft-melnikov-sieve-notify-sip-message-01.txt)
(e) ManageSIEVE (draft-martin-managesieve-10.txt)
(f) RegEx (draft-ietf-sieve-regex-00.txt)
(g) Meta-data (draft-melnikov-sieve-imapext-metadata-04.txt)
(h) Include/multi-script (draft-daboo-sieve-include-05.txt)
(i) Address data (draft-melnikov-sieve-external-lists-01)
Additional drafts may be added to this list, but only via a charter
revision. There must also be demonstrable willingness in the SIEVE
development community to actually implement a given extension before
it can be added to this charter.
(3) Work on a specification to describe how EAI/IDN issues should be
handled in SIEVE.
(4) Work on a "Benefits of SIEVE" guide for client and server
vendors that:
(a) Describes the SIEVE protocol and its suite of extensions.
(b) Explains the benefits of server-side filtering in practical
terms.
(c) Shows how client-side filtering can be migrated to SIEVE.
(5) Produce one or more informational RFCs containing a set of test
scripts and test email messages that are to be filtered by the
scripts, and the expected results of that filtering. This will serve
as the basis of a interoperability test suite to help determine the
suitability of moving the base specification and selected extensions
to Draft status.
