RFC2821bis-01 Issue 4: Client actions on receipt of 4yz and 5yz codes
2007-03-22 20:17:53
In RFC 2821bis-01, Section 4.2.1 (Reply Code Severities and
Theory), in the description of the generic 4yz category,
described the desired action in terms of what the client "is
encouraged to" do. I was persuaded in an off-list exchange that
this can reasonably be changed to "SHOULD" and -01 reflects that
change. For 5yz, there was a similar construction that
indicates that the client "is discouraged from" repeating the
request. I was less confident about changing that to "SHOULD
NOT", so the "is discouraged" text remains in -01.
Question: Should the 5yz description be changed to use "SHOULD
NOT". If not, is "SHOULD" in the 4yz description reasonable?
