This document describes an extension to the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol) service that allows an SMTP server and client to use TLS
(Transport Layer Security) to provide private, authenticated
communication over the Internet.  This gives SMTP agents the ability
to protect some or all of their communications from eavesdroppers and
attackers.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
