Sieve Email Filtering: Include Extension

Overview

RFC 6609, “Sieve Email Filtering: Include Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2012 by C. Daboo, A. Stone. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

The Sieve Email Filtering "include" extension permits users to include one Sieve script inside another. This can make managing large scripts or multiple sets of scripts much easier, and allows a site and its users to build up libraries of scripts. Users are able to include their own personal scripts or site-wide scripts. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
