1. Abstract
SMTP was defined as a message *transfer* protocol, that is, a means
to route (if needed) and deliver finished (complete) messages.
Message Transfer Agents (MTAs) are not supposed to alter the message
text, except to add 'Received', 'Return-Path', and other header
fields as required by [SMTP-MTA].
However, SMTP is now also widely used as a message *submission*
protocol, that is, a means for message user agents (MUAs) to
introduce new messages into the MTA routing network. The process
which accepts message submissions from MUAs is termed a Message
Submission Agent (MSA).
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 2]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
Messages being submitted are in some cases finished (complete)
messages, and in other cases are unfinished (incomplete) in some
aspect or other. Unfinished messages need to be completed to ensure
they conform to [MESSAGE-FORMAT], and later requirements. For
example, the message may lack a proper 'Date' header field, and
domains might not be fully qualified. In some cases, the MUA may be
unable to generate finished messages (for example, it might not know
its time zone). Even when submitted messages are complete, local
site policy may dictate that the message text be examined or
modified in some way. Such completions or modifications have been
shown to cause harm when performed by downstream MTAs -- that is,
MTAs after the first-hop submission MTA -- and are in general
considered to be outside the province of standardized MTA
functionality.
Separating messages into submissions and transfers allows developers
and network administrators to more easily:
* Implement security policies and guard against unauthorized mail
relaying or injection of unsolicited bulk mail
* Implement authenticated submission, including off-site
submission by authorized users such as travelers
* Separate the relevant software code differences, thereby making
each code base more straightforward and allowing for
different programs for relay and submission
* Detect configuration problems with a site's mail clients
* Provide a basis for adding enhanced submission services in the
future
This memo describes a low cost, deterministic means for messages to
be identified as submissions, and specifies what actions are to be
taken by a submission server.
2. Document Information
2.1. Definitions of Terms Used in this Memo
Fully-Qualified
Containing or consisting of a domain which can be globally resolved
using the global Domain Name Service; that is, not a local alias or
partial specification.
Message Submission Agent (MSA)
A process which conforms to this specification, which acts as a
submission server to accept messages from MUAs, and either delivers
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 3]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
them or acts as an SMTP client to relay them to an MTA.
Message Transfer Agent (MTA)
A process which conforms to [SMTP-MTA], which acts as an SMTP server
to accept messages from an MSA or another MTA, and either delivers
them or acts as an SMTP client to relay them to another MTA.
Message User Agent (MUA)
A process which acts (usually on behalf of a user) to compose and
submit new messages, and process delivered messages. In the
split-MUA model, POP or IMAP is used to access delivered messages.
2.2. Conventions Used in this Document
In examples, "C:" is used to indicate lines sent by the client, and
"S:" indicates those sent by the server. Line breaks within a
command example are for editorial purposes only.
All example domains use "gork" as the top-level domain.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", and "MAY"
in this document are to be interpreted as defined in [KEYWORDS].
3. Message Submission
3.1. Submission Identification
Port 587 is reserved for email message submission as specified in
this document. Messages received on this port are defined to be
submissions. The protocol used is ESMTP [SMTP-MTA, ESMTP], with
additional restrictions as specified here.
While most email clients and servers can be configured to use port
587 instead of 25, there are cases where this is not possible or
convenient. A site MAY choose to use port 25 for message
submission, by designating some hosts to be MSAs and others to be
MTAs.
3.2. Message Rejection and Bouncing
MTAs and MSAs MAY implement message rejection rules that rely in
part on whether the message is a submission or a relay.
For example, some sites might configure their MTA to reject all RCPT
TOs for messages that do not reference local users, and configure
their MSA to reject all message submissions that do not come from
authorized users, based on IP address, or authenticated identity.
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 4]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
NOTE: It is better to reject a message than to risk sending one
that is damaged. This is especially true for problems that are
correctable by the MUA, for example, an invalid 'From' field.
If an MSA is not able to determine a return path to the submitting
user, from a valid MAIL FROM, a valid source IP address, or based on
authenticated identity, then the MSA SHOULD immediately reject the
message. A message can be immediately rejected by returning a 550
code to the MAIL FROM command.
Note that a null return path, that is, MAIL FROM <>, is permitted
and MUST be accepted. (MUAs need to generate null return-path
messages for a variety of reasons, including disposition
notifications.)
Except in the case where the MSA is unable to determine a valid
return path for the message being submitted, text in this
specification which instructs an MSA to issue a rejection code MAY
be complied with by accepting the message and subsequently
generating a bounce message.
NOTE: In the normal case of message submission, immediately
rejecting the message is preferred, as it gives the user and MUA
direct feedback. To properly handle delayed bounces the client MUA
must maintain a queue of messages it has submitted, and match
bounces to them.
3.3 Authorized Submission
Numerous methods have been used to ensure that only authorized users
are able to submit messages. These methods include authenticated
SMTP, IP address restrictions, secure IP, and prior POP
authentication.
Authenticated SMTP [SMTP-AUTH] SHOULD be supported if possible. It
allows the MSA to determine an authorization identity for the
message submission, which is not tied to other protocols.
IP address restrictions are very widely implemented, but do not
allow for travellers and similar situations, and can be spoofed.
Secure IP [IPSEC] can also be used, and provides additional benefits
of protection against eavesdropping and traffic analysis.
Requiring a POP [POP3] authentication (from the same IP address)
within some amount of time (for example, 20 minutes) prior to the
start of a message submission session has also been used, but this
does impose restrictions on clients as well as servers which may
cause difficulties. Specifically, the client must do a POP
authentication before an SMTP submission session, and not all
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 5]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
clients are capable and configured for this. Also, the MSA must
coordinate with the POP server, which may be difficult. There is
also a window during which an unauthorized user can submit messages
and appear to be a prior authorized user.
3.4. Enhanced Status Codes
This memo suggests several enhanced status codes [SMTP-CODES] for
submission-specific rejections. The specific codes used are:
5.6.0 Bad content. The content of the header or text is improper.
5.6.2 Bad domain or address. Invalid or improper domain or address
in MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, or DATA.
5.7.1 Not allowed. The address in MAIL FROM appears to have
insufficient submission rights, or is invalid, or is not
authorized with the authentication used; the address in a
RCPT TO command is inconsistent with the permissions given
to the user; the message data is rejected based on the
submitting user.
5.7.0 Site policy. The message appears to violate site policy in
some way.
4. Mandatory Actions
An MSA MUST do all of the following:
4.1. General Submission Rejection Code
Unless covered by a more precise response code, response code 554 is
to be used to reject a MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, or DATA command that
contains something improper. Enhanced status code 5.6.0 is to be
used if no other code is more specific.
4.2. Ensure All Domains are Fully-Qualified
The MSA MUST ensure that all domains in the envelope are
fully-qualified.
If the MSA examines or alters the message text in way, except to add
trace header fields [SMTP-MTA], it MUST ensure that all domains in
address header fields are fully-qualified.
Reply code 554 is to be used to reject a MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, or DATA
command which contains improper domains references.
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 6]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
NOTE: A frequent local convention is to accept single-level domains
(for example, 'sales') and then to expand the reference by adding
the remaining portion of the domain name (for example, to
'sales.foo.gork'). Local conventions that permit single-level
domains SHOULD reject, rather than expand, multi-level domains,
since such expansion is particularly risky.
5. Recommended Actions
The MSA SHOULD do all of the following:
5.1. Enforce Address Syntax
An MSA SHOULD reject messages with illegal syntax in a sender or
recipient envelope address.
If the MSA examines or alters the message text in way, except to add
trace header fields, it SHOULD reject messages with illegal address
syntax in address header fields.
Reply code 501 is to be used to reject a MAIL FROM or RCPT TO
command that contains a detectably improper address.
When addresses are resolved after submission of the message body,
reply code 554 with enhanced status code 5.6.2 is to be used after
end-of-data, if the message contains invalid addresses in the
header.
5.2. Log Errors
The MSA SHOULD log message errors, especially apparent
misconfigurations of client software.
Note: It can be very helpful to notify the administrator when
problems are detected with local mail clients. This is another
advantage of distinguishing submission from relay: system
administrators might be interested in local configuration problems,
but not in client problems at other sites.
6. Optional Actions
The MSA MAY do any of the following:
6.1. Enforce Submission Rights
The MSA MAY issue an error response to the MAIL FROM command if the
address in MAIL FROM appears to have insufficient submission rights,
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 7]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
or is invalid, or is not authorized with the authentication used (if
the session has been authenticated).
Reply code 554 with enhanced status code 5.7.1 is used for this
purpose.
6.2. Require Authentication
The MSA MAY issue an error response to the MAIL FROM command if the
session has not been authenticated.
Section 3.3 discusses authentication mechanisms.
Reply code 505 [SMTP-AUTH] is used for this purpose.
6.3. Enforce Permissions
The MSA MAY issue an error response to the RCPT TO command if
inconsistent with the permissions given to the user (if the session
has been authenticated).
Reply code 554 with enhanced status code 5.7.1 is used for this
purpose.
6.4. Check Message Data
The MSA MAY issue an error response to the DATA command or send a
failure result after end-of-data if the submitted message is
syntactically invalid, or seems inconsistent with permissions given
to the user (if known), or violates site policy in some way.
Reply code 554 is used for syntactic problems in the data. Reply
code 501 is used if the command itself is not syntactically valid.
Reply code 550 with enhanced status code 5.7.1 is used to reject
based on the submitting user. Reply code 550 with enhanced status
code 5.7.0 is used if the message violates site policy.
7. Interaction with SMTP Extensions
The following table lists the current standards-track and
Experimental SMTP extensions. Listed are the RFC, name, status, an
indication as to the extension's use on the submit port, and a
reference:
RFC Name Status Submission Reference
---- --------------- ------ ---------- ------------------
2197 Pipelining DS SHOULD [PIPELINING]
2034 Error Codes PS SHOULD [CODES-EXTENSION]
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 8]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
1985 ETRN PS MUST NOT [ETRN]
1893 Extended Codes PS SHOULD [SMTP-CODES]
1891 DSN PS MAY [DSN]
1870 Size S MAY [SIZE]
1846 521 E MUST NOT [521REPLY]
1845 Checkpoint E MAY [Checkpoint]
1830 Binary E MAY [CHUNKING]
1652 8-bit MIME DS SHOULD [8BITMIME]
---- Authentication -- SHOULD [SMTP-AUTH]
Future SMTP extensions should explicitly specify if they are valid
on the Submission port.
Some SMTP extensions are especially useful for message submission:
Extended Status Codes [SMTP-CODES], SHOULD be supported and used
according to [CODES-EXTENSION]. This permits the MSA to notify the
client of specific configuration or other problems in more detail
than the response codes listed in this memo. Because some
rejections are related to a site's security policy, care should be
used not to expose more detail than is needed to correct the
problem.
[PIPELINING] SHOULD be supported by the MSA.
[SMTP-AUTH] SHOULD be supported if possible. It allows the MSA to
validate the authority and determine the identity of the submitting
user.
Any references to the DATA command in this memo also refer to any
substitutes for DATA, such as the BDAT command used with [CHUNKING].
8. Message Modifications
Sites MAY modify submissions to ensure compliance with standards,
and/or site policy. This section describes a number of such
modifications that are often considered useful.
NOTE: As a matter of guidance for local decisions to implement
message modification, a paramount rule is to limit such actions to
remedies for specific problems that have clear solutions. This is
especially true with address elements. For example,
indiscriminately appending a domain to an address or element which
lacks one typically results in more broken addresses. An
unqualified address must be verified to be a valid local part in the
domain before the domain can be safely added.
8.1. Add 'Sender'
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 9]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
The MSA MAY add or replace the 'Sender' field, if the identity of
the sender is known and this is not given in the 'From' field.
The MSA MUST ensure that any address it places in a 'Sender' field
is in fact a valid mail address.
8.2. Add 'Date'
The MSA MAY add a 'Date' field to the submitted message, if it lacks
it, or correct the 'Date' field if it does not conform to
[MESSAGE-FORMAT] syntax.
8.3. Add 'Message-ID'
The MSA MAY add or replace the 'Message-ID' field, if it lacks it,
or it is not valid syntax (as defined by [MESSAGE-FORMAT]).
8.4. Transfer Encode
The MSA MAY apply transfer encoding to the message according to MIME
conventions, if needed and not harmful to the MIME type.
8.5. Sign the Message
The MSA MAY (digitally) sign or otherwise add authentication
information to the message.
8.6. Encrypt the Message
The MSA MAY encrypt the message for transport to reflect
organizational policies.
8.7. Resolve Aliases
The MSA MAY resolve aliases (CNAME records) for domain names, in the
envelope and optionally in address fields of the header, subject to
local policy.
NOTE: unconditionally resolving aliases could be harmful. For
example, if www.ab.gork and ftp.ab.gork are both aliases for
mail.ab.gork, rewriting them could lose useful information.
8.8. Header Rewriting
Gellens & Klensin Expires December 1998 [Page 10]
Internet Draft Message Submission June 1998
The MSA MAY rewrite local parts and/or domains, in the envelope and
optionally in address fields of the header, according to local
policy. For example, a site may prefer to rewrite 'JRU' as
'J.Random.User' in order to hide logon names, and/or to rewrite
'squeeky.sales.xyz.gork' as 'zyx.gork' to hide machine names and
make it easier to move users.
However, only addresses, local-parts, or domains which match
specific local MSA configuration settings should be altered. It
would be very dangerous for the MSA to apply data-independent
rewriting rules, such as always deleting the first element of a
domain name. So, for example, a rule which strips the left-most
element of the domain if the complete domain matches
'*.foo.bar.gork' would be acceptable.
9. Security Considerations
Separation of submission and relay of messages can allow a site to
implement different policies for the two types of services,
including requiring use of additional security mechanisms for one or
both. It can do this in a way which is simpler, both technically
and administratively. This increases the likelihood that policies
will be applied correctly.
Separation also can aid in tracking and preventing unsolicited bulk
email.
For example, a site could configure its MSA to require
authentication before accepting a message, and could configure its
MTA to reject all RCPT TOs for non-local users. This can be an
important element in a site's total email security policy.
If a site fails to require any form of authorization for message
submissions (as discussed in 3.3 ), it is allowing open use of its
resources and name, since unsolicited bulk email can be injected
using its facilities.
