Marcy,

I've forwarded this information to our
SMTP developer and asked him to take a look at whether or not our server
fulfills these requirements.  If not, we'll have to get a requirement
opened for you.  You can send the word doc off list if you like, I
can forward that to him as well.

BTW: I find the IETF tools website (http://tools.ietf.org)
makes RFC reading much more palatable :-)  
See: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2821

Coupled with Firefox & the Document
Map extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/475/), it's very powerful.
