A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : SMTP Service Extension for Reliable Submission
Author(s) : E. Burger
Filename : draft-burger-smtp-rdlv-00.txt

There is an issue with SMTP that RFC1047 raised in 1988. The time
between a SMTP client submitting a mail object and the SMTP server
responding to the request can be arbitrarily long. SMTP addresses
this issue by a hack, hoping that the SMTP server responds fast
enough and the SMTP client waits long enough to find out if the
submission was successful.

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