This document defines an extension to the SMTP service whereby an SMTP 
client may indicate an authentication mechanism to the server, perform an 
authentication protocol exchange, and optionally negotiate a protection 
mechanism for subsequent protocol interactions.  The authentication and 
protection mechanisms used by the the SMTP AUTH extension are those used by
the IMAP4 protocol.  A mechanism is also provided for a client to transfer 
envelope authentication of individual messages.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-myers-smtp-auth-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
