MANAGESIEVE client library for remotely managing Sieve scripts, including an interactive 'sieveshell'.
Project description
A MANGAGESIEVE client library for remotely managing Sieve scripts, including an interactive ‘sieveshell’.
This module allows accessing a Sieve-Server for managing Sieve scripts there. For more information about the MANAGESIEVE protocol see draft http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-martin-managesieve-04.txt .
What is MANAGESIEVE?
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 module implements 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.
This an interim measure as it is hoped that eventually Sieve scripts will be stored on ACAP.
