This version fixes an error and addresses the issues that Keith and John
raised, and makes the protocol much more reliable in general. These
changes are mostly in section 6.
I think that this will actually work, albeit only for ESMTP sessions.
Whether or not it is 'worth implementing' is a private issue at this
point. If folks are interested in pursuing it further, let me know and
we'll smooth out the text as needed.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : SMTP Service Extension for Inline DSNs
Author(s) : E. Hall
Filename : draft-hall-inline-dsn-01.txt
Pages : 11

This memo describes a mechanism for the negotiation and transfer
of per-recipient notification responses in SMTP.
A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-hall-inline-dsn-01.txt".
A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in

or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt
Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
Send a message to:
mailserv(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_)
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-hall-inline-dsn-01.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
