The Message Disposition Notification (MDN) facility defined in RFC
2298 provides a means by which a message can request that message
processing by the recipient be acknowledged as well as a format to be
used for such acknowledgements. However, it doesn't describe how
multiple Mail User Agents (MUAs) should handle the generation of MDNs
in an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP4) environment.
This document describes how to handle MDNs in such an environment and
provides guidelines for implementers of IMAP4 that want to add MDN
support to their products.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
