Title : Security Considerations Issues for RFC 2821bis
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-rfc2821-security-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2005-7-12
RFC 3552 is a useful analysis and presentation of recommendations for
Security Considerations Sections. Part of its content is an
extensive analysis of, and proposed replacement for, the Security
Considerations section of RFC 2821. In important respects, the
proposed replacement text may not be appropriate for this type of
document. It also raises some specific issues that may not be
consistent with the consensus community of email experts about best
practice. Given the way it is worded, and the fact that it was
published as a BCP document, it is plausible to consider it as an
Update to RFC 2821 and to consider its ^example^ to be normative for
any future revision of RFC 2821 such as the work that has been
started in [7]. Those perceptions should be definitively evaluated
and corrected if necessary. This document is a first step in doing
so and also makes some specific additional suggestions about the
handling of Security Considerations material.

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.
