Technical Summary<br>
<br>
This draft intends to obsolete RFC 3798, and advance to Internet Standard.<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
<br>
This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a mail user<br>
agent (MUA) or electronic mail gateway to report the disposition of a<br>
message after it has been successfully delivered to a recipient.<br>
This content-type is intended to be machine-processable. Additional<br>
message header fields are also defined to permit Message Disposition<br>
Notifications (MDNs) to be requested by the sender of a message. The<br>
purpose is to extend Internet Mail to support functionality often<br>
found in other messaging systems, such as X.400 and the proprietary<br>
"LAN-based" systems, and often referred to as "read receipts,"<br>
"acknowledgements", or "receipt notifications." The intention is to<br>
do this while respecting privacy concerns, which have often been<br>
expressed when such functions have been discussed in the past.<br>
<br>
Because many messages are sent between the Internet and other<br>
messaging systems (such as X.400 or the proprietary "LAN-based"<br>
systems), the MDN protocol is designed to be useful in a multi-<br>
protocol messaging environment. To this end, the protocol described<br>
in this memo provides for the carriage of "foreign" addresses, in<br>
addition to those normally used in Internet Mail. Additional<br>
attributes may also be defined to support "tunneling" of foreign<br>
notifications through Internet Mail.<br>
<br>
Working Group Summary<br>
<br>
The document received general "Yes, this should happen" support at WG<br>
meetings, but unfortunately very little came in the way of active<br>
review. The working group appears to have trusted that the authors were<br>
doing good work and knew what they were doing and, if there were any<br>
problems found, they were not reported. MAAWG was also solicited for<br>
comments, but none were received (that I know of). In any case, there<br>
was no objection to its adoption by and publication through APPSAWG.<br>
<br>
There were no significant points of controversy or other difficulty.<br>
<br>
Document Quality<br>
<br>
RFC 3798 is widely implemented. This update seeks to advance<br>
to Internet Standard.<br>
<br>
