CMU's Sieve

[Sam Roberts]

Alain, here is one:

which links to:

ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cmu-sieve-1.3.tar.gz

I just poked through the code, it basically allows the
compiling of a FILE into a script_t, then you can apply
the script_t to a message. Except it doesn't know what a message
is... all actions on messages are done through callbacks,
and all tests on message fields get the fields through
callbacks.

The code just prints messages right now for the callbacks, and
implements its own quicko field parser.

It would be *very* easy to turf this, and implement it's callbacks
using mailutils... I think I'm going to do that.

I guess in the long run the FSF would need them to sign over
their code if they were going to distribute it, wouldn't
they, even though it's licence is about as liberal as you can get:

Since that isn't going to happen, I gather a re-write may occur?
