Technical Summary
One of the missing features in the existing Internet mail and
messaging standards is a facility for server-to-server and server-to-
client event notifications related to message store events. As the
scope of Internet mail expands to support more diverse media (such as
voice mail), devices (such as cell phones) and to provide rich
interactions with other services (such as web portals and legal
compliance systems), the need for an interoperable notification
system increases. This document attempts to enumerate the types of
events which interest real-world consumers of such a system.
