Anonymous mode:
Implementations MAY advertise the ANONYMOUS SASL mechanism
[SASL-ANON]. This indicates that the server supports ANONYMOUS SIEVE
script syntax verification. Only the CAPABILITY, PUTSCRIPT and
LOGOUT commands are available to the anonymous user. All other
commands defined in the base ManageSieve protocol MUST give NO
responses, however ManageSieve extensions MAY allow other commands in
the ANONYMOUS Sieve script verification mode. Furthermore the
PUTSCRIPT command MUST NOT persistently store any data. In this mode
a positive response to the PUTSCRIPT command indicates that the given
script does not have any syntax errors.
This conflates two things (which is generally bad for extensibility):
anonymous authentication, with script syntax verification. It would be
better not to conflate these things...
Uh, wow. That's.... special.
Yeah, let's not do that.
