Hi,

I have been selected as the Operational Directorate (opsdir) reviewer for this
Internet-Draft.

The Operational Directorate reviews all operational and management-related
Internet-Drafts to ensure alignment with operational best practices and that
adequate operational considerations are covered.

A complete set of _"Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management in
IETF Specifications"_ can be found at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-rfc5706bis/.

While these comments are primarily for the Operations and Management Area
Directors (Ops ADs), the authors should consider them alongside other feedback
received.

- Ready: No issues found. This document is ready for publication.

## General Operational Comments Alignment with RFC 5706bis

Provide an overview of the draft’s operational feasibility, readability, and
alignment with RFC5706bis guidelines.

This is an applicability statement for Email protocols and as such it
does not define new protocols introducing new operational challenges.
However, it gives guidelines on protocols and their features important
to achieve Email interoperability and thus I recommended that this
document is read by operators of organizations providing email
services. The document is well presented and I have found nothing that
could be improved.
