Sieve is a programming language for email filtering. It owes its creation to the CMU Cyrus Project, creators of Cyrus IMAP server.

The language is not tied to any particular operating system or mail architecture. It requires the use of RFC-2822–compliant messages, but otherwise generalizes to other systems that meet these criteria. The current version of Sieve's base specification is outlined in RFC 5228, published in January 2008.

As an administrator, you can customize how email is routed, delivered, and stored to meet your organization's needs.

For example, you might have incoming messages sent to an unknown address routed to a specific mailbox. Or, you might want messages addressed to a specific person automatically also sent to another person. You can have some people get their messages in Gmail and other people get email from your on-premise email server. Gmail can also scan inbound message stored on your on-premise server for spam and compliance.

Gmail split delivery lets you deliver incoming email messages to 2 different email systems in your domain, based on recipients you specify. For example, use split delivery when some people in your organization use Gmail and other people use a different email system.

Set up dual delivery when you need to deliver messages to 2 or more inboxes. For example, users can receive messages in a Gmail inbox and another inbox, for example an inbox on an on-premise email server.

One server for your email, calendars, contacts and shared files, with spam and phishing protection built in. Every standard protocol your clients already speak (JMAP, IMAP, POP3, SMTP, CalDAV, CardDAV and WebDAV) supported natively.

Running mail used to mean stitching together half a dozen separate components (an MTA, a message store, a spam filter, a calendar server, a contacts server, a file server) each with its own configuration quirks. Stalwart collapses all of that into one platform: fewer services to deploy, one configuration to learn, one place to look when something needs attention, and a smaller attack surface.
