5321 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. J. Klensin. October 2008. (Format: TXT=225929 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC2821) (Updates RFC1123) (Status: DRAFT STANDARD)
It's been done already. It's been quoted in this thread even. There's no sense in Rick re-inventing the wheel when John Klensin and friends already fixed the flat and rebalanced it a year and a half ago.
I've never been part of the process, but as an observer,it appears to me that unlike the old days where it seems, from the histories, that an RFC could get approved in a matter of days or weeks, the hard part now is not the writing, but the getting approved. So (agreeing with Valdis) it seems unfair to chide people for not writing one when there is a backlog of unapproved ones in the mill (some of them as we see "on topic"). -- "Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have."
