Hi,

Let me see if I understand this.

- This is the specification for SMTP.  It's was first used on the  
Arpanet.

- It is probably as widely deployed as IP and TCP.  Maybe more so.

- It works (e.g., the email discussing this thread was sent via SMTP).

- The IETF is now advancing it to Draft Standard.  I assume this means  
that we now have enough implementation experience.

- Now the IESG doesn't want to approve it for Draft Standard because  
it is using a different set of example domains instead of the official  
IETF ones.

Am I the only one who sees the insanity here?

Bob
