  Sieve Email Filtering: Extension for Processing Calendar Attachments
                    draft-ietf-extra-processimip-08

Abstract

   This document describes the "processcalendar" extension to the Sieve
   email filtering language.  The "processcalendar" extension gives
   Sieve the ability to process machine-readable calendar data that is
   encapsulated in an email message using Multipurpose Internet Mail
   Extensions (MIME).

1.  Introduction

   Users frequently receive invites, replies, and cancellations for
   events, tasks, etc. via Internet mail messages.  It is sometimes
   desirable to have such messages automatically parsed and the enclosed
   calendar data added to, updated on, or deleted from the user's
   calendars.

   Typically such messages are based on the iCalendar Message-Based
   Interoperability Protocol (iMIP) [RFC6047].  However, sometimes the
   enclosed iCalendar [RFC5545] data does not include an iTIP method
   property (see [RFC5546], Section 1.4), or the enclosed data may be in
   some other machine-readable format (E.g.  JSCalendar [RFC8984]).

Murchison, et al.        Expires 2 January 2025                 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft             Sieve Process iMIP                  July 2024

   This document defines an extension to the Sieve language [RFC5228]
   that enables scripts to process machine-readable calendar data that
   is encapsulated in an email message using MIME [RFC2045].
   Specifically, this extension provides the ability to alter items on a
   user's calendars referenced in the encapsulated calendar data.

2.  Conventions Used in This Document

   Conventions for notations are as in Section 1.1 of [RFC5228],
   including use of the "Usage:" label for the definition of action and
   tagged arguments syntax.

   This document uses terminology and concepts from iCalendar [RFC5545]
   and iTIP [RFC5546] to describe the processing of calendar data, but
   this extension can be used with any machine-readable calendar data
   format that can express similar concepts.

   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.

3.  Capability Identifier

   Sieve interpreters that implement this extension MUST have an
   identifier of "processcalendar" for use with the capability
   mechanism.

4.  Process Calendar Action

   Usage: processcalendar [ :allowpublic ]
                          [ :addresses <string-list> ]
                          [ :updatesonly / :calendarid <string> ]
                          [ :deletecancelled ]
                          [ :organizers <ext-list-name: string> ]
                          [ :outcome <variablename: string> ]
                          [ :reason <variablename: string> ]

   The "processcalendar" action is used to parse encapsulated calendar
   data and perform the appropriate action based on the content.  If the
   calendar data is malformed in any way, it MUST be ignored and no
   action is taken.  Otherwise, based on the iTIP method (see
   Section 1.4 of [RFC5546]) of the message, calendar objects are
   created, updated, or deleted from a given calendar.

Murchison, et al.        Expires 2 January 2025                 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft             Sieve Process iMIP                  July 2024

   This action can be used with or without the "extlists" [RFC6134]
   extension.  When the "extlists" extension is enabled in a script
   using <require "extlists">, the script can use the :organizers
   (Section 4.6) argument to the "processcalendar" action as described
   below.  When the "extlists" extension is not enabled, the :organizers
   argument MUST NOT be used and MUST cause an error according to
   [RFC5228].

   This action can be used with or without the "variables" [RFC5229]
   extension.  When the "variables" extension is enabled in a script
   using <require "variables">, the script can use the :outcome
   (Section 4.7) and :reason (Section 4.8) arguments to the
   "processcalendar" action as described below.  When the "variables"
   extension is not enabled, the :outcome and :reason arguments MUST NOT
   be used and MUST cause an error according to [RFC5228].

   If a mail messages contains calendar data in multiple MIME [RFC2045]
   parts, this action MUST verify that the calendar data in each part
   are semantically equivalent to one another.  If the data is found to
   be semantically different, the action MUST NOT process the message.
   Otherwise, the action MUST only process one representation of the
   data.

   This action MUST NOT make any changes to the participant status of
   the recipient when processing the calendar data.  The mechanism for a
   recipient to change their participant status to an event is out of
   scope for this document.

   This action SHOULD remove alarms from calendar data before applying
   it to a calendar.

4.1.  Allow Public Argument

   The optional :allowpublic argument is used to tell the implementation
   that it can process calendar data that does not contain any ATTENDEE
   properties, such as iTIP messages where the METHOD is PUBLISH, or
   non-iTIP messages where the calendar data does not contain METHOD
   and/or ORGANIZER properties.

   If used in conjunction with the :organizers (Section 4.6) argument,
   the implementation MUST NOT process non-iTIP messages.

   If :allowpublic is omitted, the implementation MUST NOT process
   calendar data unless is it is a well-formed iTIP message and one of
   the recipient user's email addresses matches the Calendar User
   Address (see Section 3.3.3 of [RFC5545]) of the intended target of
   the message, as determined by the iTIP method (see Section 1.4 of
   [RFC5546]) of the message:

Murchison, et al.        Expires 2 January 2025                 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft             Sieve Process iMIP                  July 2024

      "REPLY": Value of the "Organizer" property (see Section 3.8.4.1 of
      [RFC5545])

      "REQUEST", "CANCEL", "ADD": Value of one of the "Attendee"
      properties (see Section 3.8.4.3 of [RFC5545])

   The recipient user's email address matches the Calendar User Address
   of the target if the Calendar User Address is in the form of a mailto
   URI and the email address matches the "addr-spec" of the URI.

   An email address is considered to belong to the recipient if it is
   one of:

   1.  an email address known by the implementation to be associated
       with the recipient,

   2.  the final envelope recipient address if it's available to the
       implementation, or

   3.  an address specified by the script writer via the :addresses
       (Section 4.2) argument.

4.2.  Addresses Argument

   The optional :addresses argument is used to specify email addresses
   that belong to the recipient in addition to the addresses known to
   the implementation.

4.3.  Updates Only Argument

   The optional :updatesonly argument is used to limit the messages
   processed to those targeting existing calendar objects only.  If the
   message contains a new calendar object (its UID does not exist on any
   of the user's calendars), the implementation MUST NOT add the object
   to a calendar.

   If :updatesonly is omitted, new calendar objects may be added to one
   of the user's calendars.

   The :updatesonly and :calendarid (Section 4.4) arguments are
   incompatible with each other.  It is an error if both arguments are
   used in the same "processcalendar" action.

4.4.  Calendar ID Argument

   The optional :calendarid argument specifies the identifier of the
   calendar onto which new calendar objects should be placed.

Murchison, et al.        Expires 2 January 2025                 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft             Sieve Process iMIP                  July 2024

   If :calendarid is omitted, new calendar objects will be placed on the
   user's "default" calendar as determined by the implementation.

   The :updatesonly (Section 4.3) and :calendarid arguments are
   incompatible with each other.  It is an error if both arguments are
   used in the same "processcalendar" action.

4.5.  Delete Cancelled Argument

   The optional :deletecancelled argument is used to tell the
   implementation that if it receives a cancellation message, it should
   remove the associated calendar object from the calendar.

   If :deletecancelled is omitted, the status of the associated calendar
   object will be set to cancelled and will remain on the calendar.

4.6.  Organizers Argument

   The optional :organizers argument is used to specify an external list
   of email addresses from which the recipient is willing to accept
   public events, invites, updates, and cancellations.  Implementations
   MUST NOT process calendar data unless is it is a well-formed iTIP
   message and one of the addresses in the external list matches the
   Calendar User Address of the "Organizer" property.  An email address
   in the external list matches the Calendar User Address of the
   "Organizer" property if it is in the form of a mailto URI and the
   email address matches the "addr-spec" of the URI.

   If :organizers is omitted, no validation of the "Organizer" property
   is performed.

4.7.  Outcome Argument

   The optional :outcome argument specifies the name of a variable into
   which one of the following strings specifying the outcome of the
   action will be stored:

   *  "no_action": No action was performed (E.g., the message didn't
      contain calendar data, or the set of provided options prevented
      the message from being processed).

   *  "added": A new calendar object was added to a calendar

   *  "updated": A calendar resource was updated, cancelled, or removed
      from the calendar.

   *  "error": The message would have been processed but encountered an
      error in doing so.

Internet-Draft             Sieve Process iMIP                  July 2024

4.8.  Reason Argument

   The optional :reason argument specifies the name of a variable into
   which a string describing the reason for the outcome will be stored.
   If no reason for the outcome is available, implementations MUST set
   the variable to the empty string.

   For example, an outcome of "no_action" may have a reason of "only
   processing updates" or an outcome of "error" may have a reason of
   "missing UID property".

4.9.  Interaction with Other Sieve Actions

   The "processcalendar" action does not cancel Sieve's implicit keep
   action.

   The "processcalendar" action can only be executed once per script.  A
   script MUST fail with an appropriate error if it attempts to execute
   two or more "processcalendar" actions.

   The "processcalendar" action is incompatible with the Sieve reject
   and ereject [RFC5429] actions.

4.10.  Examples

   The following example specifies email addresses belonging to the user
   and the identifier of the calendar onto which to place new calendar
   objects:

   require [ "processcalendar" ];

   processcalendar :addresses [ "me@example.com", "alsome@example.com" ]
                   :calendarid "1ea6d86b-6c7f-48a2-bed3-2a4c40ec281a";

   The following example tells the interpreter to process flight
   itineraries from a particular airline:

   require [ "processcalendar" ];

   if allof (address ["from", "sender"] "airline@example.com",
             header :contains "subject" "itinerary") {
      processcalendar :allowpublic;
   }

   The following example adds headers to the message if calendar data
   isn't processed :

Internet-Draft             Sieve Process iMIP                  July 2024

   require [ "processcalendar", "variables", "editheader" ];

   set "processcal_outcome" "no_action";
   set "processcal_reason" "";

   processcalendar :outcome "processcal_outcome"
                   :reason "processcal_reason";

   if not string :is "${processcal_outcome}" ["added", "updated"] {
      addheader "X-ProcessCal-Outcome" "${processcal_outcome}";
      addheader "X-ProcessCal-Reason" "${processcal_reason}";
   }

5.  Implementation Status

   < RFC Editor: before publication please remove this section and the
   reference to [RFC7942] >

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
   Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
   The description of implementations in this section is intended to
   assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
   RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
   here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.  Furthermore, no effort
   has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
   supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not intended as, and must not
   be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
   features.  Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
   exist.

   According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
   to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
   running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
   and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
   It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
   they see fit".

5.1.  Cyrus Server

   The open source Cyrus Server (http://www.cyrusimap.org/) project is a
   highly scalable enterprise mail system which supports Sieve email
   filtering at the point of final delivery.  This production level
   Sieve implementation supports all of the mandatory functionality
   described in this document and is currently being updated to support
   the optional functionality.  This implementation is freely
   distributable under a BSD style license from Computing Services at
   Carnegie Mellon University (https://www.cmu.edu/computing/).

6.  Security Considerations

   This document describes a method for altering an electronic calendar
   without user interaction.  As such, unless proper precautions are
   undertaken, it can be used as a vector for calendar abuse.

   It is critical that implementations correctly implement the behavior
   and restrictions described throughout this document.  Security issues
   associated with processing unsolicited calendar data, and methods for
   mitigating them are discussed in [CALSPAM].  Specifically:

   *  Processcalendar MUST NOT process any calendar data enclosed in a
      message flagged as spam and/or malicious.  The spamtest and
      virustest [RFC5235] extensions (or the header [RFC5228] test if
      messages are scanned outside of the Sieve interpreter) can be used
      to make processcalendar conditional on "safe" content.

   *  Processcalendar SHOULD NOT process calendar data received from a
      potentially malicious sender.  The address and envelope [RFC5228]
      tests (optionally along with the extlists [RFC6134] extension) can
      be used to create a "deny list" and make processcalendar
      conditional on the sender not being a member of that list.

   *  Similarly, processcalendar SHOULD only process calendar data
      received from a known sender.  The address and envelope [RFC5228]
      tests (optionally along with the extlists [RFC6134] extension) can
      be used to create an "allow list" and make processcalendar
      conditional on the sender being a member of that list.

   *  Processcalendar SHOULD NOT process calendar data received from an
      untrustworthy sender.  Trustworthiness may depend on whether the
      message has a valid signature (see [RFC8551]) and/or on whether
      one or more of Sender Policy Framework (SPF) [RFC7208], DomainKeys
      Identified Mail (DKIM) Signatures [RFC6376], Domain-based Message
      Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) [RFC7489]
      passes or fails on the message.  The mechanism by which a Sieve
      interpreter accesses the results of such checks is outside the
      scope of this document, but if the results are available in the
      message's header fields, the header [RFC5228] test can be used to
      make processcalendar conditional on the sender being trustworthy.

   Additionally, if the calendar data has embedded (a.k.a. inline)
   attachments, implementations SHOULD:

   *  Decode the embedded attachment, if necessary.

   *  Scan the (decoded) attachment for malicious content.

Murchison, et al.        Expires 2 January 2025                 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft             Sieve Process iMIP                  July 2024

   If an attachment is found to be malicious, processcalendar MUST NOT
   process the calendar data.

7.  Privacy Considerations

   It is believed that this extension doesn't introduce any privacy
   considerations beyond those in [RFC5228].
