The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Sieve Email Filtering -- Subaddress Extension ' <draft-ietf-sieve-rfc3598bis-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Sieve Mail Filtering Language Working Group. This is a revision of RFC 3598. The "subaddress" SIEVE mail filtering language extension adds two tagged arguments to the address tests to allow for independent testing of "user" and "detail" parts of a local part of an email address that originates from a email system that supports "subaddressing" or "detailed addressing" (e.g., "user+detail@example.org"). This extension helps with Sieve script portability and eliminate the need for script writers to know exact subaddressing syntax, which can vary from one email system to another. Process and goals history of this draft. This document is a revision of RFC 3598 and thus contains editorial clarifications, fixes to examples, updated boilerplate and references. Based on feedback from WG members the original wording in RFC 3598 was extended to allow for more flexible subaddressing syntaxes, for example one implementation can use"<user>+<details>" and another can use "<details>--<user>". RFC 3598 only allowed for the "<user>+<details>" form. There are already multiple implementations of RFC 3598. The IESG contact persons are Lisa Dusseault and Ted Hardie.
