This document describes an extension to the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol) service that allows an SMTP server and client to use TLS
(Transport Layer Security) to provide private, authenticated
communication over the Internet. This gives SMTP agents the ability
to protect some or all of their communications from eavesdroppers and
attackers.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
