Folks,
The SMTP Conneg draft has been revised, with the primary change being
addition of two Appendices. One discusses use of the option when there are
multiple recipients. The other discusses use of the option when there is
relaying.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Fax Working Group of the IETF.
Title : SMTP Service Extension for Content Negotiation
Author(s) : K. Toyoda, D. Crocker
Filename : draft-ietf-fax-esmtp-conneg-03.txt
Pages :
Date : 02-Aug-02
This document defines a content negotiation service
extension for SMTP [ESMTP1, ESMTP2] whereby an SMTP
client may request information about content
capabilities of the target device or system that is
serviced by an SMTP server. The SMTP server may report
the target's content capabilities back to the client.
This process emulates a classic facsimile start-of-
session capabilities negotiation, although it can be used
for a broad range of email-based scenarios. This service
extension is primarily intended for 'direct', one-hop,
originator/recipient SMTP transfers, although relayed
scenarios through multiple SMTP servers are permitted.
