      Name: libsieve
      Version: 2.2.5
      Category: mail devel
      Maintainers: boeyms openmaintainer
      Description: A library for parsing, sorting and filtering your mail
      Homepage: http://libsieve.sourceforge.net/
      Platform: darwin

      Long Description: This code is a standalone library providing an interpreter for RFC 3028 Sieve and various extensions. It is based upon code distributed with the Cyrus Mail Server prior to CMU's switch to a more restrictive license. The libSieve API attempts to be easy to use and extensible, and replaces the more rigid API in the Cyrus Sieve implementation.
