General comments:
4. Additional Parameter for the MAIL FROM command
- Is the SMTP command "MAIL" or "MAIL FROM"?
- Do we want to entertain the idea of turning on tracking only for
certain recipients?
- s/after the recipient address/after the sender address/ (MAIL
specifies sender, not recipient).
9. Authors' Addresses
- Eric's address is 6603 Shellmound Street, Emeryville, CA 94608.
- Eric can decide on the proper phone number to include.
Assuming we are going with MTQP, the following changes should be made:
1. Introduction
- "This memo defines an extension to the SMTP service that provides
a message tracking solution that satisfies those requirements."
- This isn't true, "this memo" will provide half of the solution with
the msgtrk-mtqp draft providing the other half.
2. Framework
- Remove "** a new SMTP verb, \"MTRK\" is defined."
5. Message Tracking Requests
- Remove this section.
6.2. Message Tracking Request
- Remove this section.
If we are *not* going with MTQP, the following should be noted:
7. Security Considerations
- Should mention use of an encrypted SMTP session, otherwise the
tracking request is vulnerable to replay attacks such that outsiders
who snoop a request can later get more information by sending the same
information again (given that we don't have a shared secret to do APOP
style authentication).
