Abstract

A series of extensions and clarifications are provided for the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol specified by RFC-821. In combination, they provide for the transport of '8 bit mail', i.e., data characters with all bits of the octets used for information, for more robust and efficient handling of large messages, and for an improved foundation for any future extensions to SMTP.
