Disclaimer: I have not created/tested/working sieve rules for the following, so YMMV. :) =>1) Cc: mail containing a specific header to a certain address, but only =>between 08:00-09:00 or 17:00-21:00. Sieve: Yes, see first example in section 5.1 of RFC 5260 - Sieve Email Filtering: Date and Index Extensions <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5260.txt> =>2) Archive mail in a folder called Received-Archive/YYYY-MM. Sieve: Yes, see second to last example in section 5.1 of RFC 5260 - Sieve Email Filtering: Date and Index Extensions <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5260.txt> =>3) Take mail to a specific address, shorten it by replacing things =>like "four" with "4", "this" with "dis", etc. and send as much of the =>result as possible as a 140-character SMS message? Oh, and only do =>this if the support calendar says that I am on the support pager that =>week. Sieve: Substring substitution - Yes, See RFC 5229 - Sieve: Variables Extension <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5229.txt> along with RFC 5703 - Sieve Email Filtering: MIME Part Tests, Iteration, Extraction, Replacement, and Enclosure <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5703.txt> Looking up who is on call, see RFC 6134 - Sieve Extension: Externally Stored Lists <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6134.txt>. I don't see an example doing a call out to a CalDAV server, but see section 2.9.2 - Example 2 where it references a holiday calendar list. =>4) Take the voicemail notifications produced by our Asterisk =>software and replace the giant .WAV attachment with a much =>smaller .MP3 equivalent. Sieve: RFC 6558 - Sieve Extension for Converting Messages before Delivery <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6558.txt>. =>These are all real-world requirements that my filter fulfills. And it =>does most of them without forking external processes. (Item 3 =>actually consults a calendar program to see who's on support, but the =>rest are all handled in-process.) Now, the part left open is finding a sieve implementation that supports these extensions. :) -- *********************************************************************** Derek Diget Office of Information Technology Western Michigan University - Kalamazoo Michigan USA - www.wmich.edu/ ***********************************************************************
