| jSieve is a Java implementation of the Sieve mail filtering language defined by |
| <a href='http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3028.txt'>RFC 3028</a>. jSieve is implemented |
| as a language processor that can be plugged into any internet mail application to add |
| Sieve support. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| JSieve Utilities collects lightweight frameworks and utilities useful when |
| working with Sieve (in general) and |
| <a href='http://james.apache.org/jsieve'>JSieve</a> (in particular). |

| <subsection name='What is Sieve?'> |
| <p> |
| Sieve is an extensible mail filtering language. It's limited expressiveness (no loops |
| or variables, no tests with side effects) allows user created scripts to be run |
| safely on email servers. Sieve is targeted at the final delivery phase |
| (where an incoming email is transferred to a user's mailbox). |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Sieve scripts are composed of commands. Control commands manage the execution of the script. |
| Test commands define side-effect free criteria. |
| Action commands are mail operations to be performed. |

| <subsection name='Script Checker'> |
| <p> |
| Checks Sieve scripts. Includes monitoring controlled execution of a script against a message. |

| <subsection name='Sieve In Xml'> |
| <p> |
| <a href='http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-freed-sieve-in-xml-04' rel='tag'>Sieve-in-xml</a> is an |
| <a href='http://dbpedia.org/resource/Internet_Draft' rel='tag'>Internet Draft</a>. |
| It describes a method to convert Sieve scripts to and from an XML format suitable |
| for editing by a UI. A typical use case is as the payload for a web based editor backed by web services. |
| </p><p> |
| <code>OutputUtils</code> contains an experimental preview of a subset of this draft. It allows a |
| JSieve node tree to be output as sieve-in-xml. Full support is planned but feedback is |
| encouraged, through the <a href='http://james.apache.org/mail.html'>mailing lists</a> |
| or the <a href='http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSIEVE'>issue tracker</a>. |
