I have posted a new rev of external-lists, for everyone's reviewing
pleasure. I would like to finish up this document, and there's still
a bit of a to-do list. Please, all, give it a review, and
particularly address the to-do list just below the abstract.
Thanks,
Barry

This draft is a work item of the Sieve Mail Filtering Language Working Group
of the IETF.
Title : Sieve Extension: Externally Stored Lists
Author(s) : A. Melnikov, B. Leiba
Filename : draft-ietf-sieve-external-lists-04.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 2010-11-08
The Sieve scripting language can be used to implement whitelisting,
blacklisting, personal distribution lists, and other sorts of list
matching. Currently, this requires that all members of such lists be
hardcoded in the script itself. Whenever a member of a list is added
or deleted, the script needs to be updated and possibly uploaded to a
mail server.
This document defines a Sieve extension for accessing externally
stored lists -- lists whose members are stored externally to the
script, such as using LDAP (RFC 4510), ACAP (RFC 2244), or relational
databases.
ToDo
o Do we need support for URI schemes in ihave? From IETF 77
minutes: "Can use ihave to test if a URI is valid, both that the
scheme is supported and that the URI can be retrieved/queried."
o Do we need to say anything about comparators? We can be silent
(as now), we can say that comparators MAY be ignored as a list-
specific thing, or we can say that comparators MUST NOT be used.
o Should we add a mandatory-to-implement tag? Ned suggests (and I
agree) that it might be good to add a registry of well-defined
strings that can be used instead of URIs, and define the initial
string "pab" to represent the user's personal address book.
