Sieve BOF, Meetings Notes March 31 1998, IETF, Los Angeles Taken by Laurence Lundblade ============================================== The generally stated thought at the outset of the BOF was move to sieve to extended last call, not form a working group. Presentation on Problem Definition - Ned Freed ---------------------------------------------- Goals: - Simple language for simple filtering - Language performs test, then actions - Analysis and actions are intentionally limited - Includes an extension mechanism - Not intended to solve spam problem, just provide tools - Not intended or do everything MUA filters do now - Language be such that a GUI or forms-based editor can be used - Focus is on the language, not the transport or storage Discussion points: - filtering to be done on or around the time of final delivery - Want to reserve option to do at a gateway - working group charter would be very limited (if we get to a working group) - Need language defined first before we do extensions - Not clear how to manage extensions yet Some discussion about having a separate requirements draft was had. It was more or less settled that we would take a closer look at the first sections of the current draft and refine it if needed. Review of SIEVE draft - Tim Showalter ------------------------------------- Tim reviewed the -04 draft. You can read it yourself(Continue reading). The rest are points brought up in the discussion. Are planning to add "elsif" Issue with mailbox names: - suggested answer is to use UTF8. Fileinto is (currently) a move, though it is locally defined, because it would be hard to define
