Recent years have seen electronic mail becomes the first mode of
communication. Electronic mail allows users to exchange information
using different formats such as files, pictures, videos and text
messages. Electronic mail is quicker and faster than other modes of
communication but it generates more problems, such as email bombing,
email virus, email spoofing, anonymous email, relaying email and in
particular spam email.
This Internet Draft aims at solving or reducing the above problems
by proposing a new transfer protocol, Authenticated Mail Transfer
Protocol. Authenticated Mail Transfer Protocol is a second modified
version of the current transfer protocol, Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol. It identifies a sender, differentiates a server from a
user, changes the electronic mail structure and improves the
electronic mail transaction.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
Send a message to:
mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-crouzet-amtp-01.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.
