Message Submission BURL Extension
RFC 4468, “Message Submission BURL Extension”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2006 by C. Newman. It updates RFC 3463. It has since been updated by RFC 5248. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The submission profile of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) provides a standard way for an email client to submit a complete message for delivery. This specification extends the submission profile by adding a new BURL command that can be used to fetch submission data from an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) server. This permits a mail client to inject content from an IMAP server into the SMTP infrastructure without downloading it to the client and uploading it back to the server. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
