The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The LIMITS SMTP Service Extension' (draft-freed-smtp-limits-07.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Murray Kucherawy. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-freed-smtp-limits/ Technical Summary This document defines a "Limits" extension for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), including submission, as well as the Local Mail Transfer Protocol (LMTP). It also defines an associated limit registry. This extension provides the means for an SMTP, submission, or LMTP server to inform the client of limits the server intends to apply to the protocol during the current session. The client is then able to adapt its behavior in order to conform to those limits. Working Group Summary It was considered in EMAILCORE, which chose not to process it. As there is no other appropriate home for it in the ART area at this time, it is now a sponsored document. The work otherwise got good discussion followed by general supportive grumbling from the appropriate community. Document Quality Though consensus appears to concur that there is a need for this and its appearance would be beneficial, there are no expressly committed parties. Personnel Murray Kucherawy is both the responsible Area Director and the Document Shepherd. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
