Pete, PR> Why is the CONPERM command necessary? Isn't putting Content-Convert PR> parts in a message implicit permission to do such transformations? Or PR> is CONPERM really just signalling the server to go look inside the PR> message? Without the ESMTP option, SMTP relays must look into the message content, to determine whether conversion is permitted. Hence we decided to put a basic permission mechanisn into the explicit transfer mechanism, with the fine-grained permission detail in the content. PR> Other than that, it looks like an OK document to me. thanks! d/ -- Dave Crocker <mailto:[email protected]> Brandenburg InternetWorking <http://www.brandenburg.com> Sunnyvale, CA USA <tel:+1.408.246.8253>, <fax:+1.866.358.5301>
