| jSieve is a Java implementation of the Sieve mail filtering | |
| language defined by | |
| <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3028.txt" class="externalLink">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 is a subproject of | |
| <a href="http://james.apache.org" class="externalLink">Apache JAMES</a> | |
| . All who are interested in developing jSieve and JAMES will be | |
| warmly welcomed on the | |

| <div class="section"><h3><a name="What_is_Sieve"></a>What is Sieve?</h3> | |
| <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. | |
