Revision 05 of Carl Malamud’s “no-soliciting” draft is now available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Abstract: ‘This Internet-Draft proposes an extension to SMTP for an electronic mail equivalent to the real-world “No Soliciting” sign. In addition to the service extension, a new message header and extensions to the existing “received” message header are described.’
Changes from revision 04:
- This draft incorporates comments received in response to the IESG last call.
- A discussion of what this proposal is not trying to accomplish was added the end of Section 1.3.
- The definition of solicitation class keywords has been changed. “X-” words are no longer permitted. See Section 2.2.
- The solicitation class keywords previously defined in Section 2.2 have been moved to a non-normative appendix in Appendix B.
- The SYSTEM-WIDE and PER-RECIPIENT options have been eliminated. Solicitation class keywords presented in the initial EHLO exchange are in effect system-wide and additional keywords may be presented on a per-recipient basis. See Section 2.
- Text has been added throughout the document to make clear that the decision to reject a message is only taken by a recipient and that the particular decision to take is outside the scope of this draft.
- Section 3 (”Use of the Extension”) of the previous draft has been deleted. The material was non-normative.
