>>This document describes an extension to the SMTP service that allows an
>SMTP server and client to use transport-layer security to provide private,
>authenticated communication over the Internet. This gives SMTP agents the
>ability to protect some or all of their communications from eavesdroppers
>and attackers.

>>Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
>>Send a message to: mailserv at ietf.org. In the body type:
