dovecot - May 2008 - libsieve support

Hi,


I was wondering - are there any plans on switching the sieve plug-in to use 
libsieve (http://libsieve.sourceforge.net/)? The rationale of using this 
library is simple - cmusieve codebase seems stagnant and libsieve promises to 
implement some new sieve rfc drafts.

A significant disadvantage of this cmusieve derivative is that it does 
not support saving a compiled binary to disk, meaning that the script 
needs to be recompiled for every delivery.

Also, I am building a new Dovecot-specific Sieve implementation. It 
currently supports all extensions provided by cmusieve except notify, 
but additionally includes support for the variables extension. It still 
needs quite a bit of work, but I should be able to release a first 
version a few weeks after I have graduated on the 14th of May.

Regards,

Stephan.
