Abstract
This memo defines a framework for extending the SMTP service by
defining a means whereby a server SMTP can inform a client SMTP as to
the service extensions it supports. Extensions to the SMTP service
are registered with the IANA. This framework does not require
modification of existing SMTP clients or servers unless the features
of the service extensions are to be requested or provided.
