| | Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Standards such as MIME were developed to encode binary files for transfer through SMTP. | | | Sendmail was one of the first (if not the first) mail transfer agents to implement SMTP. | | | Today, most SMTP servers support the 8BITMIME extension, permitting binary files to be transmitted almost as easily as plain text. |

| | RFC 2821 (rfc2821) - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol |
| | SMTP systems are expected to make every reasonable effort to accept mail directed to Postmaster from any other system on the Internet. | | | SMTP servers performing a relay function MUST NOT inspect the message data, and especially not to the extent needed to determine if Return-path headers are present. | | | The SMTP content is sent in the SMTP DATA protocol unit and has two parts: the headers and the body. |

| | SMTP AUTH in sendmail 8.10-8.13 |
| | You can require the use of SMTP AUTH for relaying by simply turning off other means of relaying for incoming mail, e.g., the access map or class R. | | | Requiring SMTP AUTH for all mails is in general a bad idea, because then you cannot receive mails from other users (since the cannot authenticate). | | | SMTP AUTH allows relaying for senders who have successfully authenticated themselves. |

| | End of the road for SMTP? CNET News.com |
| | Some say rewriting SMTP from the ground up would be prohibitively difficult because of the protocol's global user base, which is estimated to be in the hundreds of millions. | | | Some who worked on the protocol in its early days argue that it is flexible enough to have successfully evolved over the years--having absorbed numerous revisions and extensions--and that the authentication problem can be partially solved with existing technologies. | | | Developed when the Internet was used almost exclusively by academics, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, or SMTP, assumes that you are who you say you are. |

| | FEHCom - SMTP Authentication [Qmail Book] |
| | SMTP Authentication is a scheme which was introduced in 1999 by J. Meyers of Netscape Communications and finally released as RFC 2554 ("SMTP Service Extension for Authentication"). | | | In order to understand SMTP Authentication, one has to work through several RFC, which seem to be unrelated in the first place. | | | Therefore, SMTP Authentication is an additional approach based on a User identitification/authentication and is particularly well suited to support roaming Users. |

| | Cotse - Connected: An Internet Encyclopedia - SMTP Protocol Overview |
| | Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), documented in RFC 821, is Internet's standard host-to-host mail transport protocol and traditionally operates over TCP, port 25. | | | From the sender's viewpoint, the command replies always take the form of text lines, each starting with a three-digit code identifying the result of the operation, a continuation character to indicate another lines following, and then arbitrary text information designed to be informative to a human. | | | However, a backoff algorithm is used, and no mechanism exists to poll all Internet hosts for mail, nor does SMTP provide any mailbox facility, or any special features beyond mail transport. |

| | SMTP Transport Binding for SOAP 1.1 |
| | SOAP [1] is a lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized, distributed environment, using XML. | | | This SHOULD be achieved via the standard Message-Id and In-Reply-To SMTP headers [8]. | | | The request will include a Message-Id header, and the associated response should include a In-Reply-To header that contains the Message-Id of the request, and a new Message-Id header. |

| | OpenBSD Sendmail + SMTP AUTH Mini-HOWTO |
| | In order to have your new sendmail binary actually be able to support SMTP AUTH via these sasl libraries, you need to delete all the symlinks in this directory and re-create them such that they actually point to the real library files. | | | It covers recompiling OpenBSD's sendmail sources with support for SASL [RFC 2222], which SMTP AUTH is based on. | | | At this point, your sendmail binary and the SASL libraries it is dependant on for SMPT AUTH support are all ready to rock. |

| | NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: SMTP-AUTH |
| | If authenticated users are allowed to submit messages from IP addresses where unauthenticated users are not — that is, if authenticated users are allowed to relay mail — then an attacker who subverts one user's account is then able to use the authenticated server as an open mail relay. | | | It does not guarantee the authenticity of either the SMTP envelope sender or the RFC 2822 "From:" header. | | | It can be used to allow legitimate users to relay mail while denying relay service to unauthorized users, such as spammers. |

| | RFC 2554 (rfc2554) - SMTP Service Extension for Authentication |
| | If the server rejects the authentication data, it SHOULD reject the AUTH command with a 535 reply unless a more specific error code, such as one listed in section 6, is appropriate. | | | The Authentication service extension (1) the name of the SMTP service extension is "Authentication" (2) the EHLO keyword value associated with this extension is "AUTH" (3) The AUTH EHLO keyword contains as a parameter a space separated list of the names of supported SASL mechanisms. | | | The client MUST discard any knowledge obtained from the server, such as the list of SMTP service extensions, which was not obtained from the SASL negotiation itself (with the exception that a client MAY compare the list of advertised SASL mechanisms before and after authentication in order to detect an active down-negotiation attack). |
