Hi Balachandran!! I've been doing work on that direction. I explain where we are and what we decided:
- Make a fantastic filters UI ('the better even seen') to create filters
within RC database: => Now it's just a table where you add filters like you do with identities.
- Make a script to decode filters table info into specific mail filtering
systems, as procmail, exim, sieve, etc. that will be used by administrators to transfer the RC filters to their IMAP servers, via cron or whatever. => Now I've done the procmail and exim specific script.
That is really cool.
Well, I heard you use Sieve. Me don't and I prefer to don't need so. If you want, you can begin completing the script just adding the Sieve
I thought that sieves were easy to implement. All we need to do
is to put up a clean easy to use interface so that even non-technical users can set up sieve scritps. Also, if it is filters, I need to read a lot more. If you can give some pointers, i will catch up soon. And as for sieve, i think we can add up another tab in the filters part itself and provide it as sieve interface. As sieve has to get executed in the servers, it the issuse of the mailserver admins to set up sieve directories and enable sieve options for thier Cyrus or what ever.
output. Remember: it's just a prerelease version. Full filters features as copy, delete or search with regular expressions will be done in the future (may be very soon).
Tell me something and we coordinate our efforts.
Saw your patch. Has it been committed to the repository? if so
which revision? Please tell so that i can check it out and we can work on it.
