                    Spam reporting using IMAP: SREP
               draft-ordogh-spam-reporting-using-imap-03

Abstract

   This document defines an IMAP extension which allows a client to
   report spam by reference and allows an IMAP server to perform any
   action on the reported messages, including leaving the action at the
   client's discretion.

   In addition, this document discusses how an IMAP server can tap into
   spam aggregator services, ultimately allowing the IMAP server to
   improve its decision-making process.

Conventions Used In This Document

   In examples, "C:" and "S:" indicate lines sent by the client or the
   server, respectively.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and "MAY"
   in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

   This specification follows the recommendations in [XDASH].

Internet-Draft                  IMAP Spam                    August 2012


1.  Introduction

   The Internet Message Access Protocol [IMAP4] does not support
   reporting spam on its own.  There are a number of solutions available
   based on the multipart/report content type defined in [OLD-REPORT]
   and its revision, [REPORT].  However, these solutions require
   including the message contents and hence, consume bandwidth to
   transmit the entire message.  In bandwidth-constrained environments -
   such as mobile networks - it is highly desirable to send only a
   minimum set of information - a reference - instead of the entire
   message.  Solutions that exist today employ manipulating proprietary
   flags in the IMAP storage to achieve the bare minimum, however more
   advanced solutions cannot be developed by using flags only; the IMAP
   server needs to be involved actively in the spam reporting process.

   Furthermore, it is highly desirable to permit individual server
   implementations to handle spam in any way these systems choose to: do
   nothing, flag, perform deletion or relocation, recommend deletion or
   relocation to the client, or, leave the decision at the client's
   discretion as a whole.  However, in order to make such a decision on
   the server side, a spam aggregator service, such as [OMA-SPAMREP],
   needs to be involved in the decision-making process.

   This document specifies a new IMAP command, SREP, along with its
   syntax, which allows a client to inform the server that the user
   considered a message (or parts thereof) spam, or, that the user no
   longer considers a message (or parts thereof) spam.  Since all
   information about the message is readily available on the server, the
   command also allows the server to implement a more intelligent and
   accurate decision logic, which may be invoked when the spam is
   reported and the server can respond with its decision to the client.

   Additionally, this document contains example flows, illustrating
   various decisions that the server may choose to evaluate, including
   invoking an aggregator service, such as one based on [OMA-SPAMREP].

   The SREP command allows:
      reporting spam; i.e. set the spam condition, and,
      reporting that a message (that was reported spam earlier) is no
      longer spam; i.e. clear the spam condition.

2.  Scope

   This document focuses only on the client-server interactions and the
   scope is limited to messages that either exist on the IMAP server,
   or, exist elsewhere and the IMAP server is configured to access them.
   Consequently, deposit-time filtering, messages that have been
   deleted, and messages that exist in an external storage but are

Internet-Draft                  IMAP Spam                    August 2012


   accessible only via an access protocol unknown to the IMAP server are
   out of scope.

3.  The SREP command

   The SREP command follows the conventions of [IMAP4].

   Arguments:
      directive; see Section 3.1
      OPTIONAL abuse type; see Section 3.2
      reference; see Section 3.3
      OPTIONAL list of part identifiers; see Section 3.4
      OPTIONAL request action; see Section 3.5

   Responses; see Section 3.6:
      OPTIONAL OK response: RELOCATE
      OPTIONAL OK response: RELOCATED
      OPTIONAL OK response: DELETE
      OPTIONAL OK response: DELETED
      OPTIONAL OK response: KEYWORD

   Result:
      OK - command completed successfully
      NO - the server cannot access one or more messages (deleted or
      unauthorized)
      BAD - there was an error during processing the command (syntax or
      unsupported parameter)

   The formal syntax of the SREP command is defined in Section 3.7.

   The SREP command allows:
      - reporting spam; i.e. set the spam condition, and,
      - reporting that a message (that was reported spam earlier) is no
      longer spam; i.e. clear the spam condition.

   The SREP command may be used with any IMAP4 server implementation
   that returns "SREP" as one of the supported capabilities in response
   to the CAPABILITY command.  If the server does not indicate support
   for the SREP capability, the client MUST NOT use the SREP command.

   The SREP command may result in ambiguity, therefore the client MUST
   NOT send any commands before the result of the SREP command has been
   received, see Section 5.5 in [IMAP].

   The command MAY be issued on one or more messages at a time, in the
   currently selected mailbox.

   The command MAY be extended in the future with new parameters

   (actions, directives, reference types, etc).  Servers MUST be able to
   recognize parameters unknown to them and respond with a BAD response
   in case they encounter such a parameter.

3.1.  Directives

   The directive argument tells the server whether a message is being
   reported as a spam, or, it is being reported as no longer a spam.
   The SREP command MUST include the directive.  To report a spam, the
   directive MUST be SET.  To report that a message is no longer
   considered to be a spam, the directive MUST be CLEAR.

   Extensions are permitted, as defined in Section 3.7.

3.2.  Abuse types

   The client may have additional information about the spam regarding
   the nature of the abuse.  When such information is available, the
   client SHOULD include the abuse type argument in the request.  When
   such information is not available, the client MUST omit the abuse
   type argument from the request.  When the directive argument is
   CLEAR, the client MUST omit the abuse type argument from the request.
   This specification defines the following abuse types:

   1.  Phishing (forgery, link manipulation, etc.): an attempt to
       divulge information from the recipient by masquerading the sender
       and/or the content(s) of the message as a trustworthy form of
       communication.
   2.  Malware (virus, spyware, etc.): a malicious piece of software
       code embedded or attached to the message specifically designed to
       disrupt normal operation, gather sensitive information, gain
       unauthorized access, and/or perform other abusive behavior upon
       execution.

   Extensions are permitted, as defined in Section 3.7.

3.3.  References

   The reference argument consists of a reference type and a reference
   value.  In general, the reference type MUST indicate the format of
   the reference while the reference value MUST contain a value
   corresponding to the indicated reference format.  To use a unique
   identifier specified in [IMAP4], the reference type MUST be UID and
   the reference value MUST be a number expressing the unique identifier
   of the message.  To use a sequence set specified in [IMAP4], the
   reference type MUST be SEQ and the reference value MUST be sequence
   numbers corresponding to the specified message sequence number set.
   To use an authorized URL specified in [URLAUTH], the reference type

Internet-Draft                  IMAP Spam                    August 2012


   MUST be URLAUTH and the reference value MUST be an URLAUTH-authorized
   URL, authorizing the entire message.

   Extensions are permitted, as defined in Section 3.7.

3.4.  Part identifiers

   When the reference identifies one and only one message, the list of
   part identifiers MAY be included to improve the accuracy of spam
   detection.  When the reference identifies more than one message, the
   list of part identifiers MUST be omitted.

   The list of part identifiers is a parenthesized list of part
   identifiers.  Part identifiers MAY identify header fields or bodies.
   Header field identifiers MUST be prefixed with the word 'header' and
   the dot ('.') character MUST be used as the separator character.
   Header fields MUST be identified by the name of the header field.

   Example:
      The 'From' header field is identified as 'header.from'.

   Body identifiers MUST be prefixed with the word 'body' and the dot
   ('.') character MUST be used as the separator character.  Bodies MUST
   be identified by their positions within the message hierarcy, where
   the first position is 1 and the main level is 1.  To refer the entire
   body of a message (or all bodies of a multipart message), the
   separator character, the position MUST be omitted.

   Examples:
      - The entire body of a message (or all bodies of a multipart
      message) is identified as 'body'.
      - Considering a simple multipart message, the part following the
      first boundary is identified as 'body.1'.
      - Considering a multipart message that includes an email
      attachment following the second boundary, and the email attachment
      containing text following the first boundary, the text within the
      email message is identified as 'body.2.1'.
   The formal syntax of the part-id-list is defined in Section 3.7.

3.5.  Request Action

   The request action argument explicitly tells the server what to do
   with the the message.  To request a specific action from the server
   explicitly, the SREP command MUST include the request action
   argument.  To not request a specific action, the SREP command MUST
   NOT include the request action argument; in this case, the server
   MUST decide the course of action.  The client MAY specify either one
   of the following actions:

Internet-Draft                  IMAP Spam                    August 2012


      - The KEYWORD the client requests that only keyword(s) should be
      added to the message.  The server MUST add the appropriate
      keyword.
      - The RELOCATE the client requests that the message should be
      relocated.  The server MUST relocate the message by copying the
      message to the destination mailbox removing the original as if
      another connected client requested this action.
      - The DELETE the client requests that the message should be
      deleted.  The server MUST delete the message as if another client
      performed this action.
   The server MUST ignore the destination mailbox in case it is nil, or,
   the request action is KEYWORD or DELETE.  It is assumed that the
   server is pre-configured with the location where user's spam messages
   are stored.  If the server is not configured with such information
   and the destination mailbox in a RELOCATE action is nil, or,
   destination mailbox in a RELOCATE action is otherwise inaccessible to
   the user (does not exist, insufficient permission, etc) the the
   server MUST reject the request (see BAD response in Section 3.6).
   NOTE: While the DELETE action does not seem appropriate in case the
   directive argument is CLEAR, it is permitted.  The formal syntax of
   the request action argument is defined in Section 3.7.

3.6.  Responses and Results

   The SREP command MAY result in system flag changes, keyword changes,
   message relocation, message removal, or a combination of these.

   The result of the command MUST be either OK, NO or BAD:
      - The OK result MUST be returned only in case the server parsed
      and completed the command successfully.
      - The NO result MUST be returned only in case the server parsed
      the command successfully, but there is a problem with the
      referenced message(s) that prevents the server from completing the
      requested actions, such as one or more messages do not exist on
      the server, one or more messages are not properly authorized by
      URLAUTH, etc.
      - The BAD result MUST be returned only in case the server cannot
      parse the command, or a configuration error is preventing the
      server from completing the requested actions.

   When the result is OK, the response to a SET directive MUST be either
   KEYWORD, RELOCATE, RELOCATED, DELETE, or DELETED.

   When the result is OK, the response to a CLEAR directive MUST be
   either KEYWORD, RELOCATE, or RELOCATED.

   The server responses are:

Internet-Draft                  IMAP Spam                    August 2012


      - The KEYWORD response occurs in case this specific action has
      been explicitly requested by the client, or, in case the server
      decided that only the keywords should be updated either because it
      does not wish to give any recommendation to the client (RELOCATE
      or DELETE), or, because it does not have sufficient information
      either internally, or, from the spam aggregator service that it is
      configured to use.
      - The RELOCATE response occurs in case the server decided that the
      message should be relocated, however leaves this action to the
      client.  The client MAY decide what to do with the message.
      - The RELOCATED response occurs in case this specific action has
      been explicitly requested by the client, or, in case the server
      decided that the message should be relocated and it performed
      relocation of the message to the appropriate location before the
      response was sent.  The server MUST relocate the message by
      copying the message to the appropriate location and removing the
      original as if another connected client requested this action.
      - The DELETE response occurs in case the server decided that the
      message should be deleted, however leaves this action to the
      client.  The client MAY decide what to do with the message.
      - The DELETED response occurs in case this specific action has
      been explicitly requested by the client, or, in case the server
      decided that the message should be deleted, and performed deletion
      of the message before the response was sent.  The server MUST
      delete the message as if another client performed this action.

   The KEYWORD, RELOCATE and DELETE responses MUST include the list of
   flags/keywords that have been added or removed.  Added keywords MUST
   be prefixed with a plus sign ('+'), while removed keywords MUST be
   prefixed with a minus sign ('-').  The RELOCATED and DELETED
   responses MUST NOT include keywords.  The formal syntax of the
   actions is defined in Section 3.7.

3.7.  Formal Syntax

   This document extends the formal syntax defined in [IMAP4] using the
   Augmented Backus-Naur Form (ABNF) notation specified in [ABNF].
   Note: all string literals are case insensitive.

      +$OMAEVVM10-spam-user-identified-body.2)] SREP Completed.

   Report single message as spam; no identified parts; server moves the
   message (may clear/set flags too, but that is irrelevant because the
   client will need to reconcile anyway).
      C: Z060 SREP SET SEQ 8
      S: Z060 OK [RELOCATED] SREP Completed.

   Report single message as spam; no identified parts; server deletes
   the message.
      C: Z080 SREP SET SEQ 6
      S: Z080 OK [DELETED] SREP Completed.

   Report single message as spam; no identified parts; client requests
   explicitly to delete the message, server deletes the message as the
   client requested.
      C: Z100 SREP SET SEQ 4 DO DELETE NIL
      S: Z100 OK [DELETED] SREP Completed.

3.9.  Examples to report messages as no longer spam

   Report single message as no longer spam; no identified parts; server
   only clears the appropriate flags from the message.
      C: Z020 SREP CLEAR SEQ 10
      S: A020 OK [KEYWORD -$OMAEVVM10-spam-user-identified] SREP
      Completed.

   Report single message as no longer spam; earlier the header and body
   were identified as spam; the server clears the appropriate flags.
      C: Z040 SREP CLEAR SEQ 9
      S: A040 OK [KEYWORD (-$OMAEVVM10-spam-user-identified-field.from
      -$OMAEVVM10-spam-user-identified-body.2)] SREP Completed.

   Report single message as no longer spam; no identified parts; server
   moves the message (may set/clear flags, too but that is irrelevant
   because the client will need to reconcile anyway).

3.10.  Example flows

   The new command specified in this document allows a client to save
   significant bandwidth by sending only reference(s) instead of full-
   blown spam reports that most if the time include the entire message.
   By doing so, the responsibility of recording metadata and handling
   the message designated as spam has been shifted to the server side.
   It is not the purpose of IMAP servers to deal with various aspects of
   spam reporting, such as creating and storing metadata, making the
   metadata available when new messages arrive, etc.  IMAP servers
   should take advantage of an aggregator service and perform the
   exchanges related to spam reporting in the background, delegating the
   work to the aggregator service.  Spam aggregator services are
   expected to collect and store metadata in very large volumes,
   evaluate the stored metadata and support queries to decide whether an
   incoming message is a spam or not.  Open Mobile Alliance (OMA)
   specified the [OMA-SPAMREP] enabler release that supports deploying
   such aggregator services.

   The flows in the following sub-sections illustrate informative
   examples for various scenarios that may be triggered by the SREP
   command defined in Section 3.

3.10.1.  The server simply flags a message

   1.   The user finds a voicemail that he/she deems to be spam.
   2.   He invokes the appropriate functions on the client to report the
        message as spam.
   3.   The client reports the spam using the appropriate command to the
        server: SREP SET SEQ 10
   4.   The server prepares the message referenced by the command for
        inquiry.
   5.   The server queries its internal database for precedence.
   6.   The server gets a 'not found' response from the internal
        database.
   7.   The server queries an external database for precedence, such as
        an aggregator service based on [OMA-SPAMREP].
   8.   The server gets a 'not found' response from the external
        database as well.
   9.   No records of the message are found; the server prepares the
        message to be recorded for future reference.
   10.  The server reports the message as spam to its internal database.
   11.  The server gets an 'ok' response from the internal database.

   12.  The server reports the message as spam to external database,
        such as an aggregator service based on [OMA-SPAMREP].
   13.  The server gets an 'ok' response from the external database.
   14.  The server checks the user's preferences and finds no guidance
        about handing the spam, so
   15.  ... it checks the service provider policies - and yet again,
        finds no instructions.
   16.  In the end, lacking any sort of guidance, the end the server
        stores a keyword for the message, and
   17.  ... informs that client about that using the appropriate
        response: OK [KEYWORD +$OMAEVVM10-spam-user-identified]
        Completed.
   18.  The client updates its representation of the voicemail
        repository and
   19.  ... the message turns red on the user interface.
   20.  The user cheers.

6.  Security Considerations

   When an aggregator service is actively involved in a deployment, the
   service provider MUST ensure that:
      - a mutual trust relation is in place between the IMAP server and
      the aggregator service, and,
      - the aggregator service does not leak any information.

   See additional security considerations in [IMAP4] and [URLAUTH],
   respectively.
