The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Mail::Sieve DSLIP: cdpOp description: RFC 3028 Mail Filtering userid: BRONG (Bron Gondwana) chapterid: 19 (Mail_and_Usenet_News) communities: [EMAIL PROTECTED] similar: Mail::Audit rationale: To repeat what I said last night, but with the module name spelled correctly! ... While there are a couple of different modules for filtering emails (including Simon's great Mail::Audit, which I currently use), these require the user to edit Perl code. From the homepage at: http://www.cyrusoft.com/sieve/ Sieve (now RFC3028) is - well, I'll quote the ABSTRACT: [Sieve is] a language for filtering e-mail messages at time of final delivery. It is designed to beimplementable on either a mail client or mail server. It is meant to be extensible, simple, and independent of access protocol, mail architecture, and operating system. It is suitable for running on a mail server where users may not be allowed to execute arbitrary programs, such as on black box Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) servers, as it has no variables, loops, or ability to shell out to external programs. I can't find an implementation in Perl yet, and since my favourite Webmail application, Squirrelmail (yes, I know it's in PHP - http://www.squirrelmail.org/) now comes with a Sieve filter editor, I'd like to be able to use that for filtering my incoming email. I imagine I'll be using Mail::Audit for most of the grunt work, and something else nice for defining the parser - this module will just plug it all together, and come with a 'binary'[tm] which can be called as the delivery agent by your friendly MTA, and will do all the filtering and mailbox creation on the fly. [ breaking news - I have a nearly complete parser in Parse::RecDescent - just have to finish dealing with some niggling '\n' issues in text: bits. ] enteredby: BRONG (Bron Gondwana) enteredon: Mon Mar 11 12:44:06 2002 GMT The resulting entry would be: Mail:: ::Sieve cdpOp RFC 3028 Mail Filtering BRONG Thanks for registering, The Pause Team PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=7d000000_32ad1513d7b3deeb&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=7d000000_32ad1513d7b3deeb&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1
