A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-rfc2821bis-07.txt
Pages : 97
Date : 2008-02-19
This document is a largely self-contained specification of the basic
protocol for the Internet electronic mail transport. It
consolidates, updates, and clarifies several previous documents,
making all or parts of most of them obsolete. It covers the SMTP
extension mechanisms and best practices for the contemporary
Internet, but does not provide details about particular extensions.
Although SMTP was designed as a mail transport and delivery protocol,
this specification also contains information that is important to its
use as a "mail submission" protocol for "split-UA" mail reading
systems and mobile environments.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-klensin-rfc2821bis-07.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.
