It's not on a todo, exactly.
I think it's fairly difficult to come up with a versatile web interface to
an arbitrarily complex mail filter. I can't think of an easy way to do it.
It would be handy to have the regular expression compiler from maildrop
in an accessible (static) library (part of the maildrop-devel package).
This way everyone uses the same routines and allows much more
flexibility for other packages (like sqwebmail) to parse and validate
rules - then it's largely a matter of being creative with the web front-end.
Indeed, maildirfilter.c already needs to be rewritten (and
maildir_filter_ruleupdate extended or replaced by the Re::Compile-r from
maildrop). Either way, it seems the best approach is to re-work the tags
within the generated .mailfilter file (as well as parse the current
format). If that can better support arbitrary expressions, then it's
down to the GUI representation (optionally even include an "enter your
own expression here" box for more savvy users; so long as we can
validate and later re-parse it using the same maildrop routines)
ensuring nothing bogus gets into the file and stops delivery.
