This is sieve-connect. A client for the ManageSieve protocol,
|
|
as specifed in RFC 5804. Historically, this was MANAGESIEVE as
|
|
implemented by timsieved in Cyrus IMAP. This software is licensed
|
|
and the terms are provided in the file "LICENSE" as supplied
|
|
with this software (BSD license without the advertising clause).
|
|
|
|
SIEVE is an RFC-specified language for mail filtering, which at
|
|
time of writing is specified in a list of RFCs at the end of this
|
|
document, plus various drafts, both IETF and individual submissions.
|
|
It's designed to be regular enough for machines to be able to
|
|
manipulate, whilst still being editable by humans. Alas, not many
|
|
clients actually implement this instead of embedding their own
|
|
internal codes in sieve comments, defeating the goal of being able
|
|
to edit with a client of your choice.
|
|
|
|
This is not yet fully compatible with RFC 5804, but is moving
|
|
towards that from the timsieved baseline; some issues to be
|
|
worked on are documented in the "TODO" file.
|
|
|
|
sieve-connect speaks ManageSieve and supports TLS for connection
|
|
privacy and also authentication if using client certificates.
|
|
sieve-connect will use SASL authentication; SASL integrity layers
|
|
are not supported, use TLS instead. GSSAPI-based authentication
|
|
should generally work, provided that client and server can use a
|
|
common underlaying protocol. If it doesn't work for you, please
|
|
report the issue.
|
|
|
|
sieve-connect is designed to be both a tool which can be invoked
|
|
from scripts and also a decent interactive client. It should also
|
|
be a drop-in replacement for "sieveshell", as supplied with Cyrus
|
|
IMAP.
