                         JMAP for Sieve Scripts
                     draft-murchison-jmap-sieve-01

Abstract

   This document specifies a data model for managing Sieve scripts on a
   server using JMAP.

Open Issues

   o  How should doing /set{create} with an existing script name be
      handled?  Should it fail or overwrite the existing script?  Should
      the /set request include an 'overwrite' boolean argument?

   o  Should setting isActive==true on a script automatically deactivate
      any other existing active script, or should the client have to do
      so itself (as is currently documented)?

   o  Do we want/need a SieveScript/copy method?

   o  Do we want to leverage draft-ietf-jmap-quotas to query Sieve
      script storage quotas?

1.  Introduction

   JMAP ([RFC8620] - JSON Meta Application Protocol) is a generic
   protocol for synchronizing data, such as mail, calendars or contacts,
   between a client and a server.  It is optimized for mobile and web
   environments, and aims to provide a consistent interface to different
   data types.

Internet-Draft                 JMAP Sieve                     March 2020


   This specification defines a data model for managing Sieve [RFC5228]
   scripts on a server using JMAP.  The data model is designed to allow
   a server to provide consistent access to the same scripts via
   ManageSieve [RFC5804] as well as JMAP, however the functionality
   offered over the two protocols may differ.

1.1.  Notational Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   Type signatures, examples, and property descriptions in this document
   follow the conventions established in Section 1.1 of [RFC8620].  Data
   types defined in the core specification are also used in this
   document.

1.2.  Terminology

   The same terminology is used in this document as in the core JMAP
   specification, see [RFC8620], Section 1.6.

   The term SieveScript (with this specific capitalization) is used to
   refer to the data type defined in this document and instances of
   those data types.

1.3.  Addition to the Capabilities Object

   The capabilities object is returned as part of the JMAP Session
   object; see [RFC8620], Section 2.  This document defines one
   additional capability URI.

1.3.1.  urn:ietf:params:jmap:sieve

   This represents support for the SieveScript data type and associated
   API methods.  The value of this property in the JMAP Session
   capabilities property is an empty object.

   The value of this property in an account's accountCapabilities
   property is an object that MUST contain the following information on
   server capabilities:

   o  *maxNumberRedirects*: "UnsignedInt|null" The maximum number of
      Sieve "redirect" actions a script can perform during a single
      evaluation (see [RFC5804], Section 1.7), or "null" for no limit.

Internet-Draft                 JMAP Sieve                     March 2020


   o  *maxNumberScripts*: "UnsignedInt|null" The maximum number of Sieve
      scripts the server is willing to store for the user, or "null" for
      no limit.

   o  *maxSizeScript*: "UnsignedInt|null" The maximum size (in octets)
      of a Sieve script the server is willing to store for the user, or
      "null" for no limit.

   o  *sieveExtensions*: "String[]" A list of Sieve extensions (as
      listed in Sieve "require" action [RFC5228], Section 3.2) supported
      by the Sieve engine.

   o  *notificationMethods*: "String[]|null" A list of URI schema parts
      [RFC3986] for notification methods supported by the Sieve
      "enotify" extension [RFC5435], or "null" if the extension is not
      supported by the Sieve engine.

   o  *externalLists*: "String[]|null" A list of URI schema parts
      [RFC3986] for externally stored list types supported by the Sieve
      "extlists" extension [RFC6134], or "null" if the extension is not
      supported by the Sieve engine.

2.  Sieve Scripts

   A *SieveScript* object represents a single script on the server and
   has the following properties:

   o  *id*: "Id" (immutable; server-set) The id of the script.

   o  *name*: "String" The user-visible name for the script, subject to
      the requirements in [RFC5804], Section 1.6.

   o  *content*: "String" The Sieve code in the script.  Note that any
      double (") quote or backslash (\) characters appearing in the
      script content MUST be escaped by prefixing them with a backslash
      (\).

   o  *isActive*: "Boolean" (default: false) Is this the user's active
      script?

Internet-Draft                 JMAP Sieve                     March 2020


   Example (using the Imap4Flags [RFC5232] Extension):

   {
     "id": "665c423a-6991-4733-8c7c-52b299572c66",
     "name": "example.siv",
     "content":
        "require [ \"imap4flags\" ];\r\nkeep :flags \"\\\\flagged\";",
     "isActive": false
   }

2.1.  SieveScript/get

   This is a standard "/get" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.1.  The _ids_ argument may be "null" to fetch all at once.

   This method provides similar functionality to the GETSCRIPT and
   LISTSCRIPTS commands in [RFC5804].

2.2.  SieveScript/set

   This is a standard "/set" method as described in [RFC8620],
   Section 5.3.

   This method provides similar functionality to the PUTSCRIPT,
   DELETESCRIPT, RENAMESCRIPT, and SETACTIVE commands in [RFC5804].

   Per [RFC5804], Section 1.4, a user may have multiple Sieve scripts on
   the server, yet only one script may be active.  Therefore, when
   changing the active script, the call to this method MUST both set the
   _isActive_ argument on the currently active script to "false" and set
   it to "true" on the script to be activated.

   The following extra SetError type is defined:

   For "create" and "update":

   o  *scriptIsActive*: The "isActive" argument was true and the user
      already has another active script.  The SetError object SHOULD
      also include the *id* property of the currently active script.

2.3.  SieveScript/validate

   This method is used by the client to verify Sieve script validity
   without storing the script on the server.

   The method provides similar functionality to the CHECKSCRIPT command
   in [RFC5804].

Internet-Draft                 JMAP Sieve                     March 2020


   The server MUST check the submitted script for syntactic validity,
   which includes checking that all Sieve extensions mentioned in Sieve
   script "require" statement(s) are supported by the Sieve interpreter.
   (Note that if the Sieve interpreter supports the Sieve "ihave"
   extension [RFC5463], any unrecognized/unsupported extension mentioned
   in the "ihave" test MUST NOT cause the syntactic validation failure.)

   The *SieveScript/validate* method takes the following arguments:

   o  *accountId*: "Id" The id of the account to use.

   o  *content*: "String" The Sieve code to validate.  Note that any
      double (") quote or backslash (\) characters appearing in the
      script content MUST be escaped by prefixing them with a backslash
      (\).

   The response has the following arguments:

   o  *accountId*: "Id" The id of the account used for this call.

   o  *isValid*: "Boolean" Is the Sieve code valid?

   o  *errorDescription*: "String" A description of the error to show to
      the user, or an empty string if the Sieve code is valid.

3.  Security Considerations

   All security considerations of JMAP [RFC8620] apply to this
   specification.

4.  IANA Considerations

4.1.  JMAP Capability Registration for "sieve"

   IANA will register the "sieve" JMAP Capability as follows:

   Capability Name: "urn:ietf:params:jmap:sieve"

   Intended use: common

   Change Controller: IETF
