Sieve Email Filtering: Sieves and Display Directives in XML
RFC 5784, “Sieve Email Filtering: Sieves and Display Directives in XML”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2010 by N. Freed, S. Vedam. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes a way to represent Sieve email filtering language scripts in XML. Representing Sieves in XML is intended not as an alternate storage format for Sieve but rather as a means to facilitate manipulation of scripts using XML tools.
The XML representation also defines additional elements that have no counterparts in the regular Sieve language. These elements are intended for use by graphical user interfaces and provide facilities for labeling or grouping sections of a script so they can be displayed more conveniently. These elements are represented as specially structured comments in regular Sieve format. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
