Not sure when I'll get around to it, but I do mean to someday implement
group-wide and system-wide sieves, ie. sieves written by someone,
processing
someone else's mail. I don't understand what that SHOULD means in that
context.
This really isn't that hard. We've had user sieve sieves, channel sieves,
system-wide sieves, domain sieves, head of household sieves, mailing list
sieves, and various other sorts. But in every case there's a fairly obvious
choice for an owner address, e.g,. for a domain sieve it's the domain
postmaster and if there isn't one of those, the system postmaster.
The tricky thing in a multiple sieve environment isn't figuring out who owns
the sieve but rather how to combine the results of multiple sieves. Jutta
Degener's long-expirted multisieve draft laid out the approach we follow, more
or less.
Event in that context, I'd still infer address based on the recipient
-- the system level script should still know whose mailbox the message
will be delivered to.
IMO that's a *really* bad idea. You're forging mail when you do this.
Hmm. Fair point. If a system sieve were to use the vacation mechanism
to report that a user has been suspended, or a mailbox is over quota,
etc., the reply ought to come from a system address. Arnt, did you
have another use case in mind? (And is this a reasonable issue to
discuss or just a rathole to discuss the depth of?)
