This is sieve-connect. A client for the ManageSieve protocol,
as specifed in RFC 5804. Historically, this was MANAGESIEVE as
implemented by timsieved in Cyrus IMAP. This software is licensed
and the terms are provided in the file "LICENSE" as supplied
with this software (BSD license without the advertising clause).
SIEVE is an RFC-specified language for mail filtering, which at
time of writing is specified in a list of RFCs at the end of this
document, plus various drafts, both IETF and individual submissions.
It's designed to be regular enough for machines to be able to
manipulate, whilst still being editable by humans. Alas, not many
clients actually implement this instead of embedding their own
internal codes in sieve comments, defeating the goal of being able
to edit with a client of your choice.
This is not yet fully compatible with RFC 5804, but is moving
towards that from the timsieved baseline; some issues to be
worked on are documented in the "TODO" file.
sieve-connect speaks ManageSieve and supports TLS for connection
privacy and also authentication if using client certificates.
sieve-connect will use SASL authentication; SASL integrity layers
are not supported, use TLS instead. GSSAPI-based authentication
should generally work, provided that client and server can use a
common underlaying protocol. If it doesn't work for you, please
report the issue.
sieve-connect is designed to be both a tool which can be invoked
from scripts and also a decent interactive client. It should also
be a drop-in replacement for "sieveshell", as supplied with Cyrus
IMAP.
