Summary: This draft is almost ready for publication as a standard
track RFC.
Major issues:
Minor issues:
1.In section 4.2 "In absence of both the MT-PRIORITY MAIL FROM
parameter and the MT-Priority header field, other message header
fields, such as Priority [RFC2156] and X-Priority, MAY be used for
determining the priority under this "Priority Message Handling" SMTP
extension." . My understanding from the third bullet in this
section is that for this case the message priority is "0" so I am not
clear what this sentence means
Ah, good catch. The text should be another bullet point in the list.
and why is there a difference if the MT-PRIORITY or MT-Priority
values do exist with regards to "Priority" and "X-Priority" for this case.
Basically there are existing header fields with similar semantics
already in use, so people want to use them as the last resort.
There was a bit of a debate about specific header fields during the IETF
LC, so this text will hopefully be improved after the debate.
2.In section 8 "MT-PRIORITY=3". I did not see where the MT-PRIORITY
SMTP extension is specified and has the syntax of using "=" before
the value.
This is described by the following text in Section 3:
One optional parameter ("MT-PRIORITY") is added to the
MAIL FROM command. The value associated with this parameter is
a decimal integer number from -9 to 9 (inclusive)
indicating the priority of the email message. The syntax of
In SMTP parameter values are separated with "=" from the corresponding
parameter names.
Nits/editorial comments:
1.MUA is used in section 1 but expanded only in section 5.
2.Some typos in section 5. "syntatically -- syntactically" "prioritiy
-- priority" "comminicate -- communicate" "contraints --constraints"
3.In section 10 for X.3.TBD3 "Description: The message mas accepted"
I assume you meant "was"
4.In section D.2 first paragraph some typos "focusses --focuses"
"comparision -- comparison"
All of these fixed in my copy, thanks!
Best Regards,
Alexey
