Serge, In what context did you raise the issue of a matcher (or whatever) needing to split a Mail object with multiple recipients into multiple Mail objects? Are you skipping ahead to the issue of per-user mail processing? Just to do BSF, the Mail object could be exposed normally.
With respect to per-user processing, my thought is that we could have a Mailet that looks at the recipient list and for each local recipient that has per-user configuration, posts a message clone for that user. That way we don't have do accommodate that behavior in all per-user matcher/mailet code, or have a base class with per-user behavior. But my initial reason for looking at BSF wasn't actually for per-user scripts. It was to allow mail admins more options for writing custom matchers/mailets. Sieve looks interesting. Has anyone implemented it in Java? Regardless of BSF integration, I could see how we might implement a SieveMailet. I don't think that we should replace our pipeline architecture with Sieve. Instead, if a site were to use Sieve extensively, they could simply have a smaller pipeline. I found GNU Sieve: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/#sieve, and the "real" libSieve project: http://libsieve.sourceforge.net/. I suppose that we could look at porting the latter to Java. Sieve is definitely something to discuss regarding v3, as it might have some impact on the revised Mailet API. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Serge Knystautas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 10:39 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Back to square one with James Noel J.

I'm wondering how you could have a matcher (or whatever) split a Mail object with multiple recipients into multiple Mail objects, but otherwise I think that framework is a nice idea. There's also a fledging IETF standard called Sieve that might be worthwhile looking at for this (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3028.txt?number=3028) -- Serge Knystautas Loki Technologies - Unstoppable Websites http://www.lokitech.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
