The following errata report has been submitted for RFC6409, "Message Submission for Mail".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=6409&eid=3995 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Tony Finch <[email protected]> Section: 8.7 Original Text ------------- NOTE: SMTP [SMTP-MTA] prohibits the use of domain name aliases in addresses and the session-opening announcement. As with other SMTP requirements, RFC 5321 effectively prohibits an MSA from forwarding such messages into the public Internet. Nonetheless, unconditionally resolving aliases could be harmful. For example, if www.example.net and ftp.example.net are both aliases for mail.example.net, rewriting them could lose useful information. Corrected Text -------------- NOTE: RFC 821 and RFC 1123 prohibited the use of domain name aliases in addresses and the session-opening announcement. Because of this it is still common for MTAs to canonicalize domains in email addresses. However this requirement was dropped during the development of RFC 2821. The current rules about domain name aliases are set out in RFC 5321 section 2.3.5. Notes ----- Instructions: ------------- This errata is currently posted as "Reported".
