[ietf-smtp] Draft: SMTP Extension for Longer Email Address

Hey all,

This is my first internet draft I'm sharing here. So I hope you all will
bear with me on this.

I didn't share my initial draft
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-viruthagiri-email-address-length-00>
here. But, Dr. Klensin had given me feedback for that draft off-list. Turns
out I was listing outdated references in the normative references section
among other things.

I have version 1
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-viruthagiri-email-address-length-01>
now. It focuses only on the SMTP extension.

Here is the abstract.

============

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-viruthagiri-email-address-length-01

Abstract

   This memo defines an SMTP extension with keyword "EAML" whereby an
   SMTP server can declare that it is capable of handling longer email
   addresses without any local-part or domain-part restriction set by
   RFC 5321.

   EAML stands for "Email Address Maximum Length".

============

This is how it works.

                  S: 220 smtp.example.com ESMTP Ready
                  C: EHLO bob.example.org
                  S: 250-smtp.example.com
                  S: 250-EXPN
                  *S: 250-EAML 500*
                  S: 250-PIPELINING
                  S: 250 HELP

The parameter omitted EAML keyword says:

                  [*] No local-part limitation.
                  [*] No domain-part limitation.
                  [*] 254 maximum characters

============

Any kind of feedback will be really helpful.

Thanks
