Agreed, I see that now, thanks.

AFAIK such normalization isn't called for anywhere in RFC 5228. Indeed, the RFC
goes out of its way to allow :all to be used to perform tests on syntactically
invalid envelope field values. So if your implementation attempts some sort of
normalization, fails, and ends up with something other than the original
string, I'd have to call that broken.

The only processing you're supposed to do is the removal of source routes from
fields that allow them. (It wouldn't hurt to clarify that this shouldn't change
a syntactically invalid stuff in the next revision.)

I disagree. To the extent this is an issue, it is a consequence of an
implementation choice you made. That choice already isn't correct if it
prevents :all from being used with syntactically invalid addresses and it won't
be correct for the new fields the notary draft adds.

Since :localpart or :domain make no sense on anything other than an address
field, this seems like a reasonable restriction to me.

We have a distributed mail store, where each back-end Cyrus server hosts
a subset of the users, and front-end proxy servers direct connections
depending on the user that logs in. The proxy only needs to implement
enough POP/IMAP/managesieve to allow the user to log in, then it knows
the username and can find out which back-end server to connect to. After
a successful login the proxy just shovels bytes back and forth.

Reauthentication would require a much more complicated proxy.

Dropping privileges means that the process voluntarily gives up the=20
rights to do something. In the case of managesieve, the server process=20
voluntarily gives up the ability to access or modify files belonging to=20
any user other than a specified one, and it cannot recover that ability=20
later.

This is often used to limit the effects of bugs, particularly security =
bugs.

owner-N2 and N2-request are not users, but addresses. To upload scripts 
over managesieve it is not possible to give an address, one has first to 
authenticate and then username=address. The "username" does not have to 
belong to some user, as far as one authenticates with the "master user" 
who can install global and private scripts for other users. There is no 
password for the non-existent users N2-request, owner-N2. The latter are 
addresses.

N2 is a mailing list and in consequence the addresses owner-N2, 
N2-unsub... etc do exist. The scripts for that addresses do not have to 
be independent, it can be the same script, however this are different 
addresses, uncoupled from IMAP. Under this circumstances, the sieve 
interpretation has either to find out that owner-N2 and N2-request are 
supposed to have the same script (transited to imap terms, the addresses 
end in the same mailbox), or to install scripts for each user 
independently. In the latter case the sieve interpretation can consider 
the owner-N2, N2-request etc as normal recipients and obtain their 
scripts in the usual way. If the interpretation has to find out that 
owner-N2 and N2-request are related, then it is first more difficult (to 
integrate this information when uploading the script), and second the 
scripts for owner-N2, N2-request etc are supposed to coincide. This is 
not necessary.

Could you explain this with a little bit more words?

That makes it possible to drop privileges on authentication.

Hello,

I am currently working towards the first release of a new Sieve 
implementation by doing an extensive standards compliance review of all 
that I've implemented thus far. Among others, I have one question about 
the envelope test that also has some relevance to the new notary 
extension that you are about to discuss in Dublin.

According to section 5.4 of the main Sieve specification (rfc5228), the 
envelope test can be extended with support for new envelope parts. The 
ones specified in that main document are both addresses and thus the 
ADDRESS-PART argument makes perfect sense. However, due to its 
extendability, I started wondering what would happen if one were to 
extend the envelope test with envelope parts that do not represent an 
address in the sense of rfc(2)822. Today I noticed that that is exactly 
what the notary extension does.

Currently, my implementation would mangle the non-address envelope part 
through the address part processing, which for instance for the :all 
address part tries to normalize the address to the string 
"local_part@domain" before string comparison. Given the fact that the 
rfc 5228 states that 'If an optional address-part is omitted, the 
default is ":all".' (section 2.7.4), there is (in my view) currently no 
standardized way around this problem.

The new notary draft does not mention the interaction with address parts 
either. In my opinion it would be best to prohibit the use of an 
ADDRESS-PART parameter for an envelope test that involves envelope parts 
that represent no addresses and let the matching act on unprocessed 
string values. At the very least I think that this issue needs to be 
dealt with explicitly in a future version of rfc 5228 and possibly also 
in the new notary specification.

In case I've missed something that voids this issue, any clarification 
is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Hello,

Are there any reasons to include "Reauthentication is not supported by 
ManageSieve protocol's profile of SASL.  I.e. after a successfully 
completed AUTHENTICATE command, no more AUTHENTICATE commands may be 
issued in the same session." in draft-martin-managesieve-10/2.1 
AUTHENTICATE Command ?

If for some reason a lot of sieve scripts are generated and need to be 
uploaded, then the uploading application has to make several connections 
to the managesieve server (using the same master authname that can edit 
all scripts and different usernames). E.g. when the scripts for a 
mailing list N2 are generated, the users owner-N2@, N2@, 
N2-unsubscribe-request@, N2-subscribe-request@, N2-request@ need to be 
uploaded in different connections to the managesieve server. This is 
less efficient than using the same managesieve connection and 
reauthenticating from time to time. Now imagine that one wants to 
regenrate the scripts for all lists on her server ... a lot of 
connections need to be established. (A mailing list needs sieve script 
that does SMTP rejects and hence saves one bounce at later time).


Moreover, if a domain has several MX DNS records, all scripts among the 
mail servers shall be consistent to some extend. It would be useful if 
the managesieve servers can use managesieve as protocol for replication 
among each other. This could be achieved if the LISTSCRIPT command (or a 
new command) can provide a timestamp when the script was uploaded. And 
one more command shall allow the master user (the one that can 
authenticate with different usernames) to list all users who have 
uploaded scripts and the timestamp when the user last changed his 
script. Going a step furhter, during the replication one server shall be 
able to request the list of the users who changed their scripts only 
after a given timestamp.

	Със здраве,

The IESG has received a request from the Sieve Mail Filtering Language 
WG (sieve) to consider the following document:

- 'Sieve Email Filtering: Reject and Extended Reject Extensions '
   <draft-ietf-sieve-refuse-reject-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document has a normative reference to RFC 2033 which documents LMTP,
Local Mail Transfor Protocol.  Support for LMTP is not required for
servers supporting the mechanisms in this specification.  The 
procedure of RFC 3967 is applied in this last call to approve the 
downward reference. 

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action.  Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2008-08-10. Exceptionally, 
comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please 
retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

does anyone do this?  such a scheme will be wrought with false positives
in the presence of forwarding or even mailing lists, unless they expose
detailed recipient information, which would conflict with privacy
concerns.

its existence is a direct and automatic consequence of the original
message, so I don't think it is unreasonable to be able to trace it back
to the Prime Mover, as the ancient Greeks would say.

basically, yes :-)

seriously, the hop count limits are generally generous, so I don't think
this will be a problem in practice.  e.g., your server adds one
Received, and mine adds three.  Majordomo at IMC introduces 4 more hops,
which brings the total to 8.  that's a lot of lee-way for additional
forwarding servers.

Hi,
Has anyone done a complete implementation of the current refuse-reject 
specification? I am working on the write-up for the IESG and I want to note 
if there are any implementations of this.

When you say "Such redirecting script", do you mean the one for 
uni@mydomain which uses redirect, or the one for me@mydomain which uses 
ereject?

_That_ message, the one with "X-Spam-Level: +++++", can't, but the ereject 
*may* result in a new message, a DSN (aka "bounce").  Whether it does so 
depends on the configuration of the mydomain sieve implementation.

If the redirect just queues the redirected message without immediately 
trying to process it, then the ereject will result in a DSN coming back to 
the envelope sender of the redirect, which may be either uni@mydomain or 
the original envelope sender of the spam.

If the redirection is processed to completion, including the ereject by 
the target address, then the original redirect will fail, which will then 
result in the original message being delivered to uni@mydomain's INBOX 
(c.f., rfc 5228, section 2.10.6, particularly the last paragraph).

(Those are just two of the possible scenarios.  Staring a log files may 
give you ideas for other possibilities.)

If the DSN went to the original envelope sender, it will may be rejected 
by the far end, in which case it's a "double bounce", which often go to 
postmaster by default.

For the postmaster account, ereject is just a Bad Idea.  Use discard.

Perform spam rejection early/at the edge: forwarding spam to some other 
account is just a problem waiting to happen.

Ha, nice.  Looks like a bounce loop all right.  Note that the sieve 
implementation there is violating the MIME spec by using multipart 
boundary strings that are present in the message being wrapped: 
"$pid/$host" ain't good enough.

These are very different cases. Perhaps the biggest difference is that loop
detection via Received: fields is much easier with redirect since its the same
message rather than a different one.

First of all, using any sort of SMTP level reject on an interior MtA is a bad
idea. The problem is once a message enters an administrative domain your
options narrow down to discarding it, delivering it, or returning a nondelivery
notification. The option of simply telling the outside sender the message was
rejected no longer exists, and that's the one case where ereject is useful.

Now, in this specific case, you have two sieves on different systems, the first
redirecting to the second and the second performing an ereject. What happens is
going to depend on what redirect did to the envelope from address. The
base Sieve specification allows substantial leeway here.

If it is left unchanged then the nondelivery notification will go back to the
(likely forged) original sender's address. And lo and behold you've just become
a blowback spam generator. But this is the result of improper use of ereject,
not a problem with redirect.

Alternately, the Sieve implementation could have changed the envelope from to
the owner of the Sieve script. In this case what should happen is that the
nondelivery notification will go to the Sieve owner, causing the script with
the redirect to be invoked again. If in the process the message has again been
checked for spam and has been judged to be spammy, the nondelivery notification
will then be redirected. But since the nondelivery notification is required to
have a blank envelope from address and redirect is forbidden from changing a
blank envelope from into a nonblank envelope from, when the ereject is reached
again this time it will cause the message to be silently discarded. So in this
case the message ends up getting silently dropped. And your ereject has turned
into a discard after taking several extra hops and comsuming a bunch more
resources.

It is also possible that wrapping the original spammy message inside a
nondelivery notification will prevent it from be found to be spammy a second
time. In this case the redirect won't trigger and the message will get
delivered on the first system. In this case your ereject led to a pointless
nondelivery notification being sent to someone.

One final possibility is that the Sieve implementation elected to put some
other address in the envelope from. In that case what happens would depend on
where that address leads, but once again you have a pointless nondelivery
notification being sent somehwere it's not needed.

The main takeaway here is that in no case is the use of ereject actually of
benefit.

Quite the contrary, depending on various factors it can easily end up in a
mailbox somewhere. See above.

This shows that you have managed to create a notification loop. This in turn
means that something in your setup is not in compliance with the relevant
standards. More specifically, either (1) The SMTP client receiving the result
of the ereject is generating a nondelivery notification with a nonempty
envelope form - an egregious violation of several standards documents or (2)
Something along the path is filling in the empty envelope from - a violation of
the requirements in RFC 5228 section 4.2. My guess is it's (2) - this case is
exactly why the "don't muck with empty envelope froms" rule was imposed.

> Is this normal?

No. The only way this can happen is if there's breakage somewhere.

> Any ideas what to do?

Fix whatever is incompliant in your setup and reconsider your use of ereject
in this context.

Hello,

While you are talking about loops with "notify mailto", I would like to 
ask you about loops with "redirect". I redirect the mail for my 
university account to uni@mydomain, which has the following script:

if header :contains "X-Spam-Level" "+++++"
         {
                 redirect "me@mydomain";
                 stop;
         }

So, when a spam arrives, the responsibility for the mail is taken and 
the mail is redirected to me@mydomain. In the past me@mydomain moved 
such mails to INBOX.Spam, but recently I changed the script to

require ["ereject"];

if header :contains "X-Spam-Level" "+++++"
         {
         ereject "Your mail was evaluated as spam and was not delivered.
However you can contact me at +49 721 755345(h) or +49 176 20700494(m).";
         stop;
         }

and ereject does SMTP reject. Such redirecting script is also installed 
for the postmaster@. Now my question is, what happens with the spam 
mail: it entered the system being accepted by uni@mydomain, but it 
cannot end in a mailbox. At the end it enters the postmaster mailbox, 
bypassing somehow (to be figured out) the spam filter and growing to 
500k. I have uploaded one such message at 
https://mail.aegee.org/~didopalauzov/Automatically%20rejected%20mail.eml .

Is this normal? Any ideas what to do?

	Със здраве,
		Дилян

FWIW, the Sieve variables extensions makes variable (in the sense that they
depend on the input message) possible. For example:

require ["notify", "mailto"];
if address :matches "from" "*" {
  notify :message "blah blah"
              :importance "3"
              "mailto:${1}";
}

However, given that addresses can be and sometimes are handled by the routing
fabric in fairly perverse ways, including various highly dynamic routing
schemes, I don't think this changes the situation much if at all.

Since message-ids are generated by clients they leak information about what
client someone uses. I don't know if such leakage is acceptable; I suspect not.

My guess is yes.

I don't see it. AFAIK nobody is proposing using message-ids or any sort  of
information that originates with clients for this. And any identifier that
appears in an auto-submitted field is not comparabie, for several reasons:

(1) MUAs generate auto-submitted fields rarely, and in the cases where they
    do they aren't going to insert a parameter we have yet to specify.

(2) The internal MTAs that generate this paramster may do so using their own
    names, but those names are already present in other header fields in
    notifucations, so this leaks no additional information. It is already
    accepted that traffic analysis can be performed here.

(3) Even if for some reason we clients to be able to generate such a parameter,
    since this is a new parameter we can specify a one way hash scheme for
    it.

In any case, I only mentioned this proposal in passing; the addition of a new
header field to the trace header set is a fairly big deal and I'm not sure it
is warranted to solve this particular problem.

Description of Working Group:

The SIEVE email filtering language is specified in RFC 5228,  
together with a number of extensions.

The SIEVE working group is being re-chartered to:

(1) Finish work on existing in-progress Working Group documents:

	(a) Notify mailto (draft-ietf-sieve-notify-mailto.txt)
	(b) Edit header (draft-ietf-sieve-editheader-10.txt)
	(c) Mime loops (draft-ietf-sieve-mime-loop-04.txt)
	(d) Refuse/reject (draft-ietf-sieve-refuse-reject-06.txt)

(2) Finalize and publish the following SIEVE extensions as proposed  
standards:

 	(a) iHave (draft-freed-sieve-ihave-02.txt)
 	(b) Notary (draft-freed-sieve-notary-01.txt)
 	(c) SIEVE in XML (draft-freed-sieve-in-xml-01.txt)
 	(d) Notify-sip (draft-melnikov-sieve-notify-sip-message-01.txt)
 	(e) ManageSIEVE (draft-martin-managesieve-10.txt)
 	(f) RegEx (draft-ietf-sieve-regex-00.txt)
 	(g) Meta-data (draft-melnikov-sieve-imapext-metadata-04.txt)
 	(h) Include/multi-script (draft-daboo-sieve-include-05.txt)
 	(i) Address data (draft-melnikov-sieve-external-lists-01)

Additional drafts may be added to this list, but only via a charter
revision. There must also be demonstrable willingness in the SIEVE
development community to actually implement a given extension before
it can be added to this charter.

(3) Work on a specification to describe how EAI/IDN issues should be  
handled in SIEVE.

(4) Work on a "Benefits of SIEVE" guide for client and server  
vendors that:
 	(a) Describes the SIEVE protocol and its suite of extensions.
 	(b) Explains the benefits of server-side filtering in practical  
terms.
 	(c) Shows how client-side filtering can be migrated to SIEVE.

(5) Produce one or more informational RFCs containing a set of test  
scripts and test email messages that are to be filtered by the  
scripts, and the expected results of that filtering. This will serve  
as the basis of a interoperability test suite to help determine the  
suitability of moving the base specification and selected extensions  
to Draft status.

I wanted to do the same thing, but then I found out that the base notify 
document says you MUST implement mailto.

I'm with option 3 just now.  My reasons, some of which have already been 
touched on:

I think the intent of sieve-notify was to do things like notify mobile 
devices, or at least devices with some limited resources that the user has 
more immediate access to.  Re-scanning the abstract seems to back this up. 
As such I think those devices are very unlikely to auto-reply to anything, 
or if they do, then it may not be until they make a connection and receive 
the notification, which would lead for a very slow mail loop.  But then what 
I think the intent of sieve-notify is, and what it'll get used for can of 
course be completely different.

Sieve-notify-mailto is therefore in some ways a poor fit with sieve-notify, 
cos the target could very very easily be capable and willing to auto-reply, 
in which case mail loops become much more likely and dangerous (hence we are 
having this discussion).  If the purpose of sieve-notify-mailto is to hide 
sensitive information from the inbound message, then I wonder if it's better 
handled by modifying redirect rather than piggy backing onto sieve-notify, 
then we're not adding to the existing mail loop concerns created by the use 
of redirect, and standard loop prevention mechanisms apply.  I think the use 
cases proposed to make folks vote for option 2 would be better handled by an 
alternative notification mechanism like SMS where no auto-reply is expected, 
and therefore there's a greatly reduced loop risk.  Option 1/3 both try to 
create a "no auto-repsonse" mimicing what is expected by the other 
sieve-notify mechanisms that it was originally designed for.

So this whole discussion has made me very reluctant to go anywhere near 
implementing sieve-notify-mailto, rather sticking to SMS notifications and 
redirect if I can.

I think I'd prefer if this trick wasn't mentioned explicitly, but yes, I
think that would be a valid implementation.  The draft says

        The "Received:" fields from the triggering message MAY be
        retained in the notification message [...]

and I personally would prefer it if implementations chose that route.

Sure. I'd make the period configurable in my own code, down to 1 second. 
What about it?

You mean by generating dummy fields?

Received: by <host> (dummy inserted by sieve); <date>
Received: by <host> (dummy inserted by sieve); <date>
Received: by <host> (dummy inserted by sieve); <date>

I'm not in favour, but I can live with that too if that's what it takes 
to get WG consensus, IESG blessing and an RFC.

If we could trust that Auto-submitted doesn't get clobbered, it would
suffice to say that a message containing an "Auto-submitted:
auto-notified" header should be silently ignored.

Unfortunately, I don't think we can trust that Auto-submitted is truly
handled as a trace header (ie. multiple instance header) in the
multitude of homegrown applications out there sending automatic
responses.

This is just too ugly.  Users will be forcing implementers to add an
override for this behaviour.

Here's an alternative compromise:  An implementation can not send a
notification in response to a message with "Auto-submitted: !no" unless
the number of Received headers in the notification messages is higher
than in the original message.

These are two of the three (or four) options I'm aware of. The third is 
to accept that mail loops happen, but make them less harmful by slowing 
them down. A thousand messages per day isn't so bad, at least not 
compared to 100,000.

It's also possible to combine. The document could say "If the incoming 
message has an Auto-Submitted field, a return-path of <>, or other 
signs that it was automatically generated, then the outgoing 
notification MUST be delayed by at least two minutes", with reference 
RFC 4865 informatively.

I'm not really in favour of such a rule. I like the simple 
Auto-Submitted rule. I'm just mentioning this since it is a 
possibility, since we need to find some compromise rule that everyone 
can live with, and this is an area we haven't discussed.

Suppose there were some header field which carried enough identification 
to avoid loops. Perhaps a widely supported header field called 
"Message-Based-On:" with a list of message-ids. There isn't any such 
thing, but suppose there were.

IWould the rules of that sensitive prevent use of Message-Based-On? I 
have a feeling that the rules would forbid leaking those message-ids 
back out of the sensitive area. If that feeling is right, then there is 
a basic conflict between your customer's needs and the IESG/IETF rules.

I'm in much the same position.

Exactly. One of the main use cases we have for Sieve notify is  in what I
believe they call a "sensitive" environment - not cut off completely from the
rest of the world, but with strict rules about what can and cannot cross
boundaries. Since messages, including various sorts of notifications, cannot
leave this environment, the goal is to generate notifications that basically
say "there's soemthing over here you need to look at" but which never say any
more than that and send those out. (Yes, I'm well aware of the potential for
traffic analysis here, but I'm not the one who designed or specified any off
this.) In this use case it is critically important that all messages be able to
generate such a notification. As for loops, they cannot occur since these
notification messages can only leave, not reenter.

I could describe at least one other use-case where notifications cannot be
blocked by auto-submitted fields, but I think this makes the point.

Agreed. FWIW, my suggestion was to add a parameter to auto-submitted that
uniquely identifies the auto-submitter so that that can be checked and loops
detected that way. But this got shot down for some reason I no longer recall.

I also object somewhat to copying Received: fields over that in fact correspond
to hops that a totally different message took. The relationship between the
notification message and the message that triggered it is just too tenuous.
This is a kluge, and IMO not a terribly good one.

I tried writing text for this some time ago. Didn't get anything worth
posting.

Our implementation is definitely one that's going to violate it, although we'll
probabky make the check configurable and have it default "on". We simply don't
have a choice here - too many important customers depend on this capability and
if we don't provide it I'm sure someone else will be happy to.

P.S. I'm also quite worried given the reception the Sieve base got in regards
to the looping potential of redirect that this draft is going to receive at
least one DISCUSS vote from the IESG that's going to be very difficult to
satisfy.

I can't find any camp to be in, but I feel that #2 is closest.  I don't
think that "Auto-Submitted" is a strong indicator of a non-notifiable
message, and as I've said I can imagine cases where it's just the opposite.

I guess that one thing we're trying to work around is the fact that
systems that are the target of a notification message, and that might
pass it on to where it loops back around, can't be relied on to pass
whole headers, and so things like Received counting or looking at (e.g.)
"Delivered-To" can't be counted on as those fields might get stripped.
As might the original "Auto-Submitted" field, so this technique either
relies on this field being preserved, or on one of the downstream notifiers
or forwarders adding one of their own.  That all strikes me as kind of
shakey in addition to being a mis-use of this field.

So I feel that it's important to make a note about loop prevention; that
it's hard to do when it's a possibility that most header fields will get
stripped; but that that doesn't make using "Auto-Submitted" any more
palatable.  I wish I had text to propose, other than just a strong note
that somehow detecting loops should be a priority of the implementor.

I also think that the "MUST NOT" under discussion is almost certain to
be violated, so I would vote against that.

Shutting down the mail system would also be simple and effective.

i did turn up some specific points when i looked through the draft.
FWIW here are some of them

1. too verbose: the justification in secnd paragraph is not needed;

2. unclear: using 'MAY' makes the intent of the protocol unclear.
changing this to SHOULD would allow the client to infer abnormal
shutdown from it's absence.

3. the autologout timeout requirement is evil. this requirement gains
little from a client perspective (client needs to be able to cope
robustly with connection failures) at a high cost from the server
perspective (holding connections on the server limits scalability and
complicates implementation).

client agent identity and capabilities
----------------------------------------------------------

the draft lacks a mechanism which allows a client libraries to
identify themselves or their capabilities. if it were possible for
servers to identify clients then workarounds could be applied just for
particular clients with known bugs. as this draft stands, servers are
forced to apply workarounds for all clients. this (in turn) means the
de juru standard tends to drift from the de facto one.

BAD input
----------------

the draft does not indicate the right way to deal with input that
cannot be parsed. perhaps server SHOULD deal with malformed input by
issuing a BYE followed by an appropriate response code.

"newlines"
----------------

the specification mentions "newlines" in a couple of places. it would
be clearer to specify what's meant by this eg CRLF (if that's what's
meant).

+1

i'm interested in this

i plan to use RESTful HTTP. i believe that approach has many
advantages over this draft and may encourage easier interoperability
amongst the general development community.

Hi folks,
Alexey and I have put together the following agenda for the Dublin meeting. 
Are goal with this is to give time to discussing the set of documents that, 
according to our new proposed milestones, will be due for action over the 
period of time leading up to the next IETF meeting after Dublin.

We would appreciate document authors preparing slides or bullet points on 
the key issues and status of their documents for inclusion in the slides at 
the meeting, thanks.

In particular, would someone like to tackle the EAI Issues topic?

I could go along with that, assuming suitable wording, but I find it 
difficult to come up with such wording. IMO there is considerable value 
in having a really simple rule on Auto-Submitted and loops.

So I take it that means:

    Implementations SHOULD NOT trigger notifications for messages
    containing "Auto-Submitted:" header fields with any value other than
    "No".

Then I assume we want to add a clause after that saying something like 
"because notifications triggered by such messages can result in mail loops."

Speaking as a WG participant:

The latest version looks good to me. A couple of new issues:

1).
 >Usage: foreverypart [":name" string] block

The document is silent on whether each name string should be unique or 
not. What should happen if 2 nested foreverypart loops use the same 
name: the inner loop's name hides the outer name or is this a runtime error?

2). I think the MIME Loops document should discuss implications on 
digital signatures. This issue came up during IESG review of several 
documents recently.

Now that you mention this I prefer SHOULD NOT.

Despite my strong opinion on this point, I think it's not sufficient to 
say that if there's not a call to change it, the current "MUST NOT" text 
stays.  At one point we had some level of consensus for the current 
text, but there's been enough dissent that we explicitly need new consensus.

So, everyone: if you consider yourself an active participant, please 
send a message to this mailing list within the next, say, week, stating 
(briefly) your position on this.  There's no need for a lot of 
explanation, because the reasons on both sides are clear.

I'm looking for consensus on one of these:

1. Using Auto-Submitted to avoid loops -- and, therefore, the risk of 
loops if we send notifications for auto-submitted messages -- is 
sufficiently important that the current "MUST NOT" text should stay.

2. The use cases for notifications on auto-submitted messages are 
sufficiently important that the text should be changed.  [Please suggest 
new text, in this case.]

3. "SHOULD NOT" is an acceptable compromise.  The current "MUST NOT" 
should be changed to "SHOULD NOT", with some added text to explain the 
danger very clearly.  [In this case, you can suggest text, or I'll craft 
it.]

Let's try to get clear consensus on this.  I propose that in the event 
of no clear consensus, we have to go with (3).

Barry

Folks,
I believe Barry addressed all outstanding issues with the document but one:

 Should a notification be generated if an Auto-Submitted header field 
exists (apart from "no")?

Barry commented on this issue:

I still don't see clear support for changing this, and I still worry 
that it's dangerous. There are certainly use cases for it, but since 
this is a major way we're suggesting avoidance of notification loops, I 
think it's a Very Bad Idea.

-08 still has the MUST NOT. I'd strongly prefer to leave it that way.

===
I tend to agree with Barry. I think the last round of discussion 
suggested that the WG has no consensus on this issue. So my 
recommendation is to leave the current text as is and publish the 
document. *If* there is enough support later for allowing notifications 
on notifications, the document can be revised(, or a small extension to 
it can be published). But for now I think it is more important to 
publish the document.

This document describes the "date" and "index" extensions to the
Sieve email filtering language.  The "date" extension gives Sieve the
ability to test date and time values in various ways.  The "index"
extension provides a means to limit header and address tests to
specific instances of header fields when header fields are repeated.

This will only happen if something is broken or misconfigured - the "is
the recipient liested in the header" check should 
prevent the system hosting the mailbox from sending a vacation response.

Of course the user could specifically override this check with a :addresses
parameter specifying the address of the redirecting server. But that's then
a case of the user in effect saying that they want both repsonses sent.

Another potential issue is that redirection could potentially add a resent-to
field that would defeat the check. (This addition is optional in our
implementation at least.) But if that happens you now have an explicit
indicator of redirection you can test to see if you want the vacation message
sent.

It's supposed to happen automatically. See above.

Hello,

In my domain there are a lot of email addresses that are just redirects, 
and end in mailboxes in all possible external domains (like mails for 
user1@aegee.org are redirected to user1@yahoo.com and user2@aegee.org is 
redirected to user2@gmail.com).

I was thinking what will happen if a user configures a vacation service 
both on the redirecting server and on the server hosting her mailbox. 
Actually there is not so much to think - both servers will send a 
vacation reply. But my concerns are how to suppress the second vacation, 
  from the server hosting the mailbox, and indicate in the redirected 
message that a vacation response has been already sent for it.

Something like "Auto-Submitted: no; vacation sent" or "List-Id: <>" ? 
Better ideas?

Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Sun has implemented Sieve in SMTP server and are in the process of 
implementing ManageSieve protocol.

Right. Description in -08 was an error on my part. As far as I am aware 
the ManageSieve protocol never allowed + to be optional.

If such broken clients exist, I hope that they would be found and fixed.

Yeah, I think so, too. Unless we exposed the protocol through IMAP  
somehow, which I'm still a fan of doing, if possible.

i'm confused: which top post? this top post you're posting now? (or
another that gmail has helpfully hidden)

if the aim is codification of existing practice then since i am not an
existing practioner of this particular protocol, how can i object?

it's been made quite clear to me that this is the priority of this RFC
is not quality but compatibility

Alexey Melnikov's comments about a next generation protocol
compatiable with IMAP make a lot more sense to me. it seems to me that
an independent protocol would be much more widely useful if it did not
adopt the IMAP style.

I haven't done any managesieve work (other than read some earlier
documents) but gave this a quick once-over for anything that might jump
out anyway.  Nothing really did, other than some stuff calling for picky
comments, so I'll make some :)

Also, I'm a bit curious how there can be a last call (-like) when
there are editorial questions embedded (that is, the things in '[[...]]').
But this isn't a real last call, so I suppose that's the answer.

I found some of the punctuation a little odd but I won't really go
into that (much).

With that..

==========
1.3.  Response Codes:

   If this response code is returned in the OK response, it can mean
   that the user is near its quota or that the user exceeded its quota,
   but the server supports soft quotas.

Two things:  Here is one place where I think the punctuation affects
the meaning, in that "but the server supports soft quotas" seems to go
with both "near quota" and "exceeded quota" whereas it probably really
goes with the latter.  And, "soft quota" can be taken to mean something
specific, whereas I think really what is intended here is that the quota
has been exceeded but this is permitted.  (and are we calling users
"it"?)  Simply removing the comma might help, as would an alternative
such as:

   If this response code is returned in the OK response, it can mean
   that the storage is near its quota, or it can mean that the account
   exceeded its quota but that that condition is being allowed by the
   server.


==========
2.1 ...

   "Note that a failed NO response to the AUTHENTICATE command may
   contain one of the following response codes:" ...

a "failed NO response" strikes me as being a double negative.  Probably
just "a NO response" or one of the words in parens -- "a NO (failed)
response" or "a failed (NO) response".


==========
later in 2.1 ...

   "Another example demostrating use of SASL PLAIN mechanism under TLS."

spelling of "demonstrating"


==========
later in 2.1 ...
    "The following example demonstrate use of SASL "initial response"."

"demonstrates"


Yours,
mm

Wait, top-post here says, "is there a point to the discussion going on  
here?"

Are you suggesting that we not bring managesieve to publication as an  
RFC?
Are you suggested what we can do for a next-generation sieve  
management system?
Some of both?

yes but the point was predicated on the apparent requirement that this
protocol should be usable beyond the community of email server
creators. yes, anyone who's spent time writing email servers will be
comfortable but that community is small. other users are likely to
find it much easier to reuse an existing protocol.

There are at least a dozen client and server implementations of this  
protocol that exist and interoperate and have been doing so for  
several years, so on that issue your point is negated by fact.

Further, HTTP is dramatically more complicated than this protocol, and  
I challenge the notion that its security is actually well understood  
enough to be applied to other applications without some seriously  
thorough and careful thinking. The only thing HTTP really buys you is  
the ability to re-use existing HTTP server frameworks. This is  
generally not a benefit to authors of email software, since most of us  
have already written our own server frameworks for IMAP and SMTP and  
the like.

opening a new port with a new protocol with unknown and untested
security characteristics sounds unlikely to fly to me. system admins
are much more likely to want to use FTP or HTTP for out-of-protocol
communication (but this is drifting OT)

IMO there are very good reasons why HTTP as a protocol has become
dominant (but that's drifting OT)

Only if you have a web server and a bunch of related infrastructure lying 
around.  If you're implementing sieve support in an MTA, such that admins 
or even user can provide sieve scripts to be run as incoming mail is being 
accepted (rather than waiting until it hits the mail store), then you may 
not have the luxury of requiring people who want to use the new feature to 
run web servers on their inbound MX's.

Now, I don't claim to be such an implementor, but I don't believe that HTTP 
is the answer to all protocol problems any more than HTML is the answer to 
all user interface problems.

not at all :-)

the function contained in this protocol is really very trivial. i
doubt that any implementator using a storage mechanism other than IMAP
would bother creating an implementation rather than just reusing their
preferred protocol at the application level. for example, HTTP is a
well known protocol whose secruity characterics are know well
understood. sieve maintainance using RESTful HTTP would be much
simpler than creating an implementations of this novel protocol.

Not quite, as I did not release any changes as of yet. My latest changes 
should bring it pretty close though. However, I still don't have a 
proper quota implementation (which i personally see as a requirement).

The situation here is that we are standardizing a protocol which was 
already widely deployed.  In such cases, it is usually better to avoid 
breaking interoperability with the deployed base, especially if the 
deployment experience largely shows that the existing protocol works. 
Sometimes, there is no way to avoid making a backward-incompatible change 
to correct a problem, but I don't think this is such a case.

That makes the assumption that sieve scripts live only in IMAP servers, 
which I don't think we want to do.

Documenting what exists is the limit of what we can do with this  
document. The protocol itself is already implemented by several  
servers and clients and has good interoperability*. We need to freeze  
the current state and call it "version 1" before we start working on  
version 2.

* actually, I need to compare my implementation with the document  
that's been posted, because I recall at least two things that I  
followed drafts on but clients did not like, one was about response  
codes and another was about {number+} vs. {number}, but I don't  
remember exactly when and what those interop problems were. I do know  
that the clients in question changed to accommodate my server and not  
vice versa, because I was following the draft spec and they agreed.

Other server implementations I know about:

managesieve in dbmail (I wrote this one):
https://svn.ic-s.nl/svn/dbmail/trunk/dbmail/src/timsieve.c

managesieve for dovecot:
http://sinas.rename-it.nl/~sirius/

managesieve in citadel:
www.citadel.org

It's entirely possible that this is the future of sieve script  
management. I, for one, would really like to see sieve scripts exposed  
through some namespace within folder annotations. There are problems  
with that, though, and it's not going to be implemented everywhere  
tomorrow, if at all. So we need to finish documenting what we have  
that works for now.

i can see that's a tough choice: codification of existing (possibly
dubious but at least well understood) practice verses the creation of
a better protocol

it seems unfortunate that this means that a separate port is required
for sieve management. a compatible extension to IMAP would allow sieve
management using the same URI.

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Sieve Email Filtering: Editheader Extension '
   <draft-ietf-sieve-editheader-11.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Sieve Mail Filtering Language Working
 
Group. 

The IESG contact persons are Lisa Dusseault and Chris Newman.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sieve-editheader-11.txt

Technical Summary

The SIEVE editheader extensions provides a way for a SIEVE script to add
or remove top-level message headers in the message being processed. This
allows SIEVE to interact with other components in the mail delivery
system via information in message headers.

The extension defines an addheader action with the option to have the
header inserted at the start or end of the entire block of message
headers. Consideration is given to issues of header encoding and
possible length limits, as required by internet email standards.

The extension defines a deleteheader action which can optionally delete
all, the last, or a specific indexed header in the top-level message
headers.

The draft has a detailed description of how interactions with other
SIEVE extensions/actions are handled.

The security considerations section covers several identified security
concerns.

Working Group Summary

This document has been discussed and reviewed in the SIEVE Working Group.
There is strong consensus in the Working Group to publish this document
as a Proposed Standard.

The editheader extension was originally submitted as an individual
contribution in April 2003. The first revision involved some major
changes (one of which is discussed below) as suggested by feedback on
the list. Subsequent to that, only minor changes were done. Working
group last call was issued in March 2005 and a number of minor
clarifications and errors were fixed based on comments.

One issue which did arise during last call was that of the original
replaceheader action, which was dropped after the very first draft. That
received a fair amount of discussion at the time, and there was a
feeling that it was too complex. A number of people have expressed
disappointment that that action was not present in the draft during
last call. However, the original arguments against it were felt to still
be valid, and there was consensus that editheader should proceed without
this action.

Protocol Quality

A number of implementations of this extension have already been
developed and in some cases deployed. Most participants are eager to see
this spec published as an RFC.

Note to RFC Editor

In Section 9, add a new paragraph after the first paragraph.

  This is the first Sieve extension to be standardized that allows
  alteration of messages being processed by Sieve engines.
  A Sieve script that uses Sieve tests defined in RFC 5228 [SIEVE],
  the editheader extension, and the redirect action back to the same user
  can keep some state between different invocations of the same script
  for the same message. But note that it would not be possible to 
  introduce an infinite loop using any such script, because each iteration

 
  adds a new Received header field, so email loop prevention described
  in RFC 2821 will eventually non deliver the message, and because
  the editheader extension is explicitly prohibited to alter or delete
  Received header fields (i.e. it can't interfere with loop prevention).

In Section 9, 3rd paragraph, add new material after the first sentence:

 Any change in a message content may interfere with digital
 signature mechanisms that include the header in the signed
 material.

NEW material:

   For example, changes to (or deletion/addition of) header fields
   included in the "SHOULD be included in the signature" list in
   section 5.5 of [RFC4871] can invalidate DKIM signatures. This also
   includes DKIM signatures that guaranty a header field absence.

   The editheader extension doesn't directly affect RFC 2822 header field

   signatures generated using S/MIME [RFC3851] or OpenPGP [RFC3156],
   because when S/MIME/OpenPGP is used to signed header fields, a copy
   of RFC 2822 header fields is included inside signed message/rfc822
   body part. However a software written to detect differences between
   the inner (signed) copy of header fields and the outer (modified
   by editheader) header fields might be affected by changes done by
   editheader.


OLD:
 However, implementations MUST NOT permit attempts to
 delete "Received" header fields and MUST permit both addition
 and deletion of the "Subject" header field.
NEW:
 However, implementations MUST NOT permit attempts to
 delete "Received" and "Auto-Submitted" header fields and MUST permit both
addition
                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 and deletion of the "Subject" header field.

The protocol is trying to stay backward compatible with CMU 
implementation (and there are many other client and server 
implementations that mimic it).
If I were to design a new protocol from scratch, I would have made it as 
similar to IMAP as possible. But due to existing deployments, I don't 
think this would be a good option.

failing to allow NOOP as may be expected violates the principle of
least surprise.

is there any reason for this?

in general, this protocol seems more than a little peculiar. it's
close in syntax to IMAP but has enough differences for IMAP
implementors to be surprised and confused by the differences.

is there any reason for this choice?

Ok, if I encounter any in the near future I will notify you.

I am not so much interested in the (IMAP) synchronizing semantics of the 
'+' character. With version 08 of the managesieve specification the '+' 
character was indicated as 'only allowed from clients' in the comment 
somewhere in the ABNF. I am worried that some client implementors have 
interpreted this as being optional and decided to drop the '+' 
altogether. Now it is explicitly required from the clients, making such 
clients fail (if they indeed exist, let's hope not).

Ok, I did some preliminary implementation of the new commands. Regarding 
the NOOP command I have only one (nitpicking) remark. The managesieve 
specification explicitly lists which commands are valid before 
authentication. However, by introducing extensions this becomes a little 
more sketchy. The RENAMESCRIPT command is clearly not useful before 
authentication. However, implementors with IMAP experience might think 
of allowing NOOP before authentication, because in IMAP the NOOP 
command  may be issued before authentication. I think it cannot hurt to 
make explicit whether these new commands may be issued before 
authentication.

Other than that, I found a typo in section 1.3 in the TRYLATER 
explanation: 'This response code only make sense when returned in a 
NO/BYE response.'. You should add an 's' there somewhere.

Regards,
