Section 10Implementations SHOULD take measures to prevent scripts from looping.Q: Isn't this trivially true because Sieve scripts have no loop command? Perhaps you meant to say "creating mail loops" instead of "looping".
Actually, there is separate text about mail loops: The "redirect" command has considerations regarding loop prevention; see the command description for recommendations.I can't remember now why this text is here. Maybe it is just alerting about buggy implementations that might loop due to buffer overflows, etc.?
