The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Sieve Email Filtering: Ihave Extension ' <draft-freed-sieve-ihave-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Sieve Mail Filtering Language Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Lisa Dusseault and Chris Newman. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-freed-sieve-ihave-04.txt Technical Summary This document describes the "ihave" extension to the Sieve email filtering language. The "ihave" extension provides a means to write scripts that can take advantage of optional Sieve features but can still run when those optional features are not available. The extension also defines a new error control command intended to be used to report situations where no combination of available extensions satisfies the needs of the script. Working Group Summary There were some discussions about whether the ihave test should only enable an extension for the if block it is used in, or whether it should enable the extension till the end of the script. The latter was chosen due to perceived ease of implementability and this represents rough consensus of the WG. Document Quality There is at least 1 server implementations of this document. At least 1 more server vendor is implementing it and at least a 3 more are interested in implementing it. At least 4 people have reviewed the document. Majority of posted comments were addressed in the latest revision. Personnel Alexey Melnikov is the Document Shepherd. Lisa Dusseault is the Sponsoring AD. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
