Authenticated Mail Transfer Protocol is a second version of Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol. Authenticated Mail Transfer Protocol (AMTP)
improves Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and modifies the
protocol in order to protect email against anonymous mails. The
improvements included in Authenticated Mail Transfer Protocol will be
helpful for the Internet community.
The purpose of this document is to describe the different states of
Authenticated Mail Transfer Protocol to the Internet community. There
are five states:
=> Identified: It is used to identify the user to the server.
=> Email: It is used to send an email.
=> Logout: It is used to release any resources in the server when the
user closes the connection.
=> Information: It is used to inform the recipientÆs server that an
email is waiting to be retrieved on the senderÆs server.
=> Retrieved: It is used to instruct the recipientÆs server to
retrieve the email from the senderÆs server.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-crouzet-amtp-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
