I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's
ongoing effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.
These comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security
area directors. Document editors and WG chairs should treat these
comments just like any other last call comments.
This document provides a set of observations on whether the SMTP Service
Extension for 8bit-MIMEtransport (RFC 1652) should be advanced from
Draft Standard to Standard. It matches the document against the
criteria of RFC 2026, and poses questions to the IESG about the
acceptability of the document for a full Standard, along three axes:
1. Proposed changes
2. Any other changes necessary (none listed)
3. Downward references
I do not believe that this document raises any security concerns beyond
those of the underlying document (RFC 1652). All of the proposed
changes are simple updates to current references (e.g., adding RFC 5321
in addition to RFC 821). None of the proposed changes or downward
references are related to the security of the protocol.
