A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : The SIEVE mail filtering language û refuse extension
Author(s) : M. Elvey, A. Melnikov
Filename : draft-elvey-refuse-sieve-00.txt
Pages : 0

With 'refuse', Sieve gains the ability to simply not accept an
email during the SMTP transaction (instead of accepting it and then
sending an MDN [MDN] back to the alleged sender using 'reject').
A Joe-job is a spam run forged to appear as though it came from an
innocent party, who is then generally flooded by the bounces, MDNs
and messages with complaints. With 'reject', MDNs [MDN] contribute
to the flood of Joe-job spam to victims of Joe-jobs; SMTP level
refusals usually don't. So 'refuse' provides users the latter
method to handle unwanted email.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-elvey-refuse-sieve-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
