The IESG has received a request from the Revision of core Email specifications WG (emailcore) to consider the following document: - 'Simple Mail Transfer Protocol' <draft-ietf-emailcore-rfc5321bis-31.txt> as Internet Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the [email protected] mailing lists by 2024-10-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to [email protected] instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document is a specification of the basic protocol for Internet electronic mail transport. It (including text carried forward from RFC 5321) consolidates, updates, and clarifies several previous documents, making all or parts of most of them obsolete. It covers the SMTP extension mechanisms and best practices for the contemporary Internet, but does not provide details about particular extensions. The document also provides information about use of SMTP for other than strict mail transport and delivery. This document replaces RFC 5321, the earlier version with the same title, and supersedes RFCs 1846, 7504, and 7505, incorporating all the relevant information in them. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-emailcore-rfc5321bis/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc3463: Enhanced Mail System Status Codes (Draft Standard - Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) stream) rfc3848: ESMTP and LMTP Transmission Types Registration (Draft Standard - Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) stream) _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
