This draft is a work item of the Next Generation Transition Working Group of the IETF.
Title : IPv6 SMTP operational requirements
Author(s) : M. Nakamura, J. Hagino
Filename : draft-ietf-ngtrans-ipv6-smtp-requirement-01.txt
Pages : 6
Date : 05-Jul-01
The memo lists operational requirements for IPv6 SMTP, and IPv6-capable
MX DNS records. As we deploy IPv6 SMTP servers, it became apparent that
we need certain configuration in IPv6-capable MX DNS record, for stable
dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) SMTP operations. The document tries to
clarify the problems we have in transition period between IPv4 SMTP and
IPv6 SMTP, and operational requirements for stable IPv4/v6 SMTP
operation.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
