This memo defines an extension to the SMTP service that provides
protocol support for weak authentication of SMTP clients.  Weakly
authenticated clients enjoy an intermediate level of trust: they have
no relying privileges, but can attempt to deliver mail to local
users, are whitelisted from some filters, and may receive DSNs as
needed.

Note that this treatment is what SMTP recommends for all clients.
However, most servers operate filters to limit spam, thereby
affecting the reliability of the mail forwarding system.  Verified-
Hello recovers that reliability by providing for uncensored mail
transmission in a framework where authenticated domains are
responsible for the messages they send.  In addition, support is
provided for an extensible set of authentication mechanisms, so that
they can be managed and branded.
