🔗 The Melbourne treemail phenomenon

-

"Dearest Golden Elm", wrote one correspondent earlier this month, "I finally found you! I see you every day on my way to uni, but I had no idea of what kind of tree you are. You are the most beautiful tree in the city and I love you."

About 3,000 emails have been sent to individual trees in the last two years. This didn't start out as an exercise in sentiment, but a hard-headed attempt by Melbourne city council to manage an urban forest in decline - as a result of drought, by 2009 40% of the 77,000 trees in Australia's "garden city" were struggling or dying.

Sieve (RFC 5228) is a language for filtering e-mail messages. It is designed to be implementable on either a mail client or mail server. It is meant to be extensible, simple and independent of access protocol, mail architecture and operating system. It is suitable for running on a mail server where users may not be allowed to execute arbitrary programs, such as on black box IMAP servers, since in its basic form it has no variables, loops or ability to shell out to external programs.
