Title : Client SMTP Validation (CSV)

Internet mail suffers from the operation of hosts that
operate as mail transfer agents (MTA) without any
accountability. This makes it impossible to vet MTAs
or find recourse when their operation causes problems.
The current specification defines a modest mechanism
that permits session-time, domain-based validation of
peer, client MTAs without prior arrangement between the
MTAs. The mechanism is built upon functional
components for registering service support and for
validating that a name is associated with an IP
address. It provides a small, simple and useful
improvement to Internet mail service accountability.
It is based on well-understood mechanisms and is easily
deployed and used. Note that validation does not imply
that the MTA is well behaved, merely that it is
accountable to the cited domain administrator.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-crocker-marid-smtp-validate-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.
