A Protocol for Remotely Managing Sieve Scripts
RFC 5804, “A Protocol for Remotely Managing Sieve Scripts”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2010 by A. Melnikov, T. Martin. It has since been updated by RFC 7817, RFC 8553. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Sieve scripts allow users to filter incoming email. Message stores are commonly sealed servers so users cannot log into them, yet users must be able to update their scripts on them. This document describes a protocol "ManageSieve" for securely managing Sieve scripts on a remote server. This protocol allows a user to have multiple scripts, and also alerts a user to syntactically flawed scripts. [STANDARDS TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
