This document proposes an extension to Soliciting Simple Mail Transfer
Protocol (SMTP) for an electronic mail equivalent to the real-world
"No Soliciting" sign.  In addition to the service extension, a new
message header and extensions to the existing "received" message
header are described.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
