The following errata report has been rejected for RFC6152, "SMTP Service Extension for 8-bit MIME Transport".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5646 -------------------------------------- Status: Rejected Type: Technical Reported by: HE Zhixiang <[email protected]> Date Reported: 2019-03-04 Rejected by: Barry Leiba (IESG) Section: 3 Original Text ------------- Naturally, the usual SMTP data-stuffing algorithm applies, so that a content that contains the five-character sequence of <CR> <LF> <DOT> <CR> <LF> or a content that begins with the three-character sequence of <DOT> <CR> <LF> does not prematurely terminate the transfer of the content. Corrected Text -------------- Naturally, the usual SMTP data-stuffing algorithm applies, so that a content that contains the five-character sequence of <CR> <LF> <DOT> <CR> <LF> or a content that begins with the three-character sequence of <DOT> <CR> <LF> would prematurely terminate the transfer of the content. Notes ----- RFC 5321, section 4.5.2: Without some provision for data transparency, the character sequence "<CRLF>.<CRLF>" ends the mail text and cannot be sent by the user. --VERIFIER NOTES-- The text is referring to original, unprocessed text, and is saying that the example strings will "naturally" have "the usual SMTP data stuffing algorithm" applied to them. As a result, the existence of these strings in the original data will not terminate the transfer because they will be data-stuffed and will no longer appear as termination strings. The text is correct as written, and the suggested rewrite incorrectly negates the meaning. -------------------------------------- RFC6152 (draft-ietf-yam-rfc1652bis-03) -------------------------------------- Title : SMTP Service Extension for 8-bit MIME Transport Publication Date : March 2011 Author(s) : J.
