The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The Sieve mail filtering language - extensions for checking mailbox status and accessing mailbox metadata ' <draft-melnikov-sieve-imapext-metadata-08.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-melnikov-sieve-imapext-metadata-08.txt Technical Summary The SIEVE mail filtering language - extension for accessing mailbox metadata extension provides a way for a SIEVE script to test annotations stored on an IMAP server supporting the METADATA extension. Working Group Summary This document has been discussed and reviewed in the SIEVE Working Group. There is consensus in the Working Group to publish this document as a Proposed Standard. Document Quality A number of implementors have expressed interest in this extension. Personal Document Shepherd: Cyrus Daboo <mailto:cyrus@daboo.name> AD: Lisa Dusseault Note to RFC Editor In Abstract, add to the end of the sentence: , as well as for checking for mailbox existence and controlling mailbox creation on fileinto action In Section 1, add the second paragraph that reads: This document also defines an extension for checking for mailbox existence and controlling mailbox creation on fileinto action. In Section 5, add at the end of the second paragraph: For example, if the Sieve script is stored in LDAP and the script can't be retrieved when a message is processed, then the agent performing Sieve processing can, for example, assume that the script doesn't exist, or delay message delivery until the script can be retrieved successfully. Annotations should be treated as if they are a part of the script itself, so a temporary failure to retrieve them should be handled in the same way as a temporary failure to retrieve the Sieve script itself. In Section 5, add at the end of the third paragraph: For example, if Sieve scripts are retrieved using LDAP secured with TLS encryption, then the protocol used to retrieve annotations must use a comparable mechanism for providing connection confidentiality. In particular the protocol used to retrieve annotations must not be lacking encryption. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
