However, what is missing is a clear statement of the problems that are
being solved. We can debate the solution details after we are clear
about the goals.
Dave,
The problems I want to solve with a revision of the submit RFC are:
1. making the timeouts rational.
2. correcting the authentication references in Submit now the relevant
SMTP AUTH and STARTTLS RFCs are published and we have operational experience.
I was asking if other people had other problems they wanted to address in a
revision of the submit RFC.
Now you seem to have some questions about the need for a submit protocol. That
question is answered in the already published submit RFC, and is a distraction
from the technical discussion I have started. However, additions to the
justification section in the present submit RFC would be in order.
