Re: [RCD] Filters. (not a feature request ;))

Ok, basically I know that there is Sieve, Procmail, Maildrop and "custom" solutions. So for example Macnews/Macbay runs Communigate Pro which has build in filters/rules.

I'd just like to add that Sieve is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) Standards Track standard1, which is likely to mean it is supported by many e-mail platforms. There's also a draft standard for remote management of Sieve scripts2.

Plain Sieve (without extensions) is pretty basic, so it might be useful to define the minimum requirements for an abstract "filter" class.

If you have questions about Sieve with regards to the above, I'll do my best to answer them on- or off-list.
