Allied Communications Publication (ACP) 142 defines P_MUL, which is a
protocol for reliable multicast suitable for bandwidth-constrained
and delayed acknowledgement (Emissions Control or "EMCON")
environments running over UDP.  This document defines MULE (Multicast
Email), an application protocol for transferring Internet Mail
messages (as described in RFC 5322) over P_MUL (as defined in ACP
142).  MULE enables transfer between Message Transfer Agents (MTAs).
It doesn't provide a service similar to SMTP Submission (as described
in RFC 6409).

This document explains how MULE can be used in conjunction with SMTP
(RFC 5321), including some common SMTP extensions, to provide an
alternate MTA-to-MTA transfer mechanism.

This is not an IETF specification; it describes an existing
implementation.  It is provided in order to facilitate interoperable
implementations and third-party diagnostics.
