RFC 5804: A Protocol for Remotely Managing Sieve Scripts

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7817, RFC 8553. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Sieve scripts allow users to filter incoming email. Message stores are commonly sealed servers so users cannot log into them, yet users must be able to update their scripts on them. This document describes a protocol "ManageSieve" for securely managing Sieve scripts on a remote server. This protocol allows a user to have multiple scripts, and also alerts a user to syntactically flawed scripts. [STANDARDS TRACK]
