SMTP Service Extensions for Transmission of Large and Binary MIME Messages
RFC 1830, “SMTP Service Extensions for Transmission of Large and Binary MIME Messages”, is an Experimental document published in August 1995 by G. Vaudreuil. It has been obsoleted by RFC 3030 — refer to the newer document for the authoritative version. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This memo defines two extensions to the SMTP service. The first service enables a SMTP client and server to negotiate the use of an alternate DATA command "BDAT" for efficiently sending large MIME messages. The second extension takes advantage of the BDAT command to permit the negotiated sending of unencoded binary data. This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.
What “Experimental” means
