Re: Last Call: draft-klensin-rfc2821bis (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to Draft Standard

John,
I have one more question:

FRC 1869 defines 2 new SMTP reply codes in section 6.1:

   If the server SMTP does not recognize or cannot implement one or more
   of the parameters associated with a particular MAIL FROM or RCPT TO
   command, it will return code 555.

   If for some reason the server is temporarily unable to accomodate one
   or more of the parameters associated with a MAIL FROM or RCPT TO
   command, and if the definition of the specific parameter does not
   mandate the use of another code, it should return code 455.

They are not in RFC 2821 which obsoleted RFC 1869. Bug or feature?

Missed this, sorry. I'd have to call it a bug. IMO these need to be added
to 2821bis.

                                Ned
