The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Mail::Sieve
DSLIP: cdpOp
description: RFC 3028 Mail Filtering
userid: BRONG (Bron Gondwana)
chapterid: 19 (Mail_and_Usenet_News)
communities:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
similar:
Mail::Audit
rationale:
To repeat what I said last night, but with the module name spelled
correctly! ...
While there are a couple of different modules for filtering emails
(including Simon's great Mail::Audit, which I currently use), these
require the user to edit Perl code.
From the homepage at: http://www.cyrusoft.com/sieve/ Sieve (now
RFC3028) is - well, I'll quote the ABSTRACT:
[Sieve is] a language for filtering e-mail messages at time of
final delivery. It is designed to beimplementable on either a mail
client or mail server. It is meant to be extensible, simple, and
independent of access protocol, mail architecture, and operating
system. It is suitable for running on a mail server where users may
not be allowed to execute arbitrary programs, such as on black box
Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) servers, as it has no
variables, loops, or ability to shell out to external programs.
I can't find an implementation in Perl yet, and since my favourite
Webmail application, Squirrelmail (yes, I know it's in PHP -
http://www.squirrelmail.org/) now comes with a Sieve filter editor,
I'd like to be able to use that for filtering my incoming email.
I imagine I'll be using Mail::Audit for most of the grunt work, and
something else nice for defining the parser - this module will just
plug it all together, and come with a 'binary'[tm] which can be
called as the delivery agent by your friendly MTA, and will do all
the filtering and mailbox creation on the fly.
[ breaking news - I have a nearly complete parser in
Parse::RecDescent - just have to finish dealing with some niggling
'\n' issues in text: bits. ]
