Heads up, email experts!

I don't know if you saw the recent I-D documents that came out, entitled
OPES SMTP Use Cases (draft-ietf-opes-smtp-use-cases-02.txt).

As the abstract says:

   The Open Pluggable Edge Services (OPES) framework is application
   agnostic.  Application specific adaptations extend that framework.
   This document describes OPES SMTP use cases and deployment scenarios
   in preparation for SMTP adaptation with OPES.

The intent is to provide access from within email to the OPES filters
being used with HTTP. (Virus scanners are an example.)

I'm co-chair of the OPES group, and am aware of its potential
ramifications to the email world. So, I'd appreciate it if you could
review the use-cases document. Discussion about the document is
occurring on the ietf-openproxy@imc.org mailing list. (If you'd rather
not join that list, I can channel your comments.)

Thanks!
