Corrected Text -------------- SMTP clients that experience a connection close, reset, or other communications failure due to circumstances not under their control (in violation of the intent of this specification but sometimes unavoidable) SHOULD, to maintain the robustness of the mail system, treat the mail transaction as if a 421 response had been received and act accordingly. Notes ----- SMTP clients are told to act as though a 451 response ("Requested action aborted: local error in processing") had been received when context clearly indicates that a 421 response ("Service not available, closing transmission channel") was intended. Instructions: ------------- This errata is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party (IESG) can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC5321 (draft-klensin-rfc2821bis-11) -------------------------------------- Title : Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Publication Date : October 2008 Author(s) : J.
