Voice messaging is traditionally addressed using telephone number
addressing.  This document describes two techniques for routing
voice messages based on a telephone number.  The complete service
uses the Voice Profile for Internet Mail (VPIM) Directory service to
lookup a VPIM email address with a telephone number and confirm that
the address is both valid and associated with the intended recipient.
However, this service will take time to become widely deployed in the
near term.  This document also describes a basic send-and-pray service
that routes and delivers messages using only the ENUM telephone number
resolution service and the existing DNS mail routing facilities.

This document is a product of the Voice Profile for Internet Mail
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.
