RFC 3685: SIEVE Email Filtering: Spamtest and VirusTest Extensions
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 5235.
Current version: RFC 5235 — Sieve Email Filtering: Spamtest and Virustest Extensions
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
The SIEVE mail filtering language "spamtest" and "virustest" extensions permit users to use simple, portable commands for spam and virus tests on email messages. Each extension provides a new test using matches against numeric 'scores'. It is the responsibility of the underlying SIEVE implementation to do the actual checks that result in values returned by the tests. [PROPOSED STANDARD]
