  2. Main Changes from -00 draft-yao-ima-smtpext-02.txt (thanks a lot for all the comments to version 00) • Add Extended Mailbox Address Syntax • Add the “ATMOIC” parameter and introduction • Add the specification of uses of “ALT-ADDRESS” and “ATOMIC” parameters • Add the message header question description • Add the mailing list question description

  3. What is the internationalized eMail Address? • Mailbox = Local-part "@" Domain • Local-part = Dot-string / Quoted-string ; MAY be case-sensitive • Dot-string = Atom *("." Atom) • Atom = 1*Ucharacter Ucharacter = <any UNICODE character, except ASCII characters that are not permitted in "atext" > • Quoted-string = DQUOTE *qcontent DQUOTE • Domain = (sub-domain 1*("." sub-domain)) / address-literal sub-domain = Let-dig [Ldh-str] / • <any internationalized domain label specified by IDNA>

  4. Framework for the Internationalization Extension • 1. The EHLO keyword value associated with this extension is "IEmail"; • 2. No parameter values are defined for this EHLO keyword value. • 3. Two optional parameters are added to the SMTP MAIL and RCPT commands. The first parameter is named as ALT-ADDRESS. The second is ATOMIC. • 4. No additional SMTP verbs are defined by this extension. • 5. Servers offering this extension MUST provide support for, and announce, the 8BITMIME extension.

  5. The ALT-ADDRESS and ATOMIC parameter • If the IMA extension is offered, the syntax of the SMTP MAIL and RCPT commands is extended to support both the optional "ALT-ADDRESS" and "ATOMIC" parameter. • The "ALT-ADDRESS" requires an all-ASCII address, which may be set by sender or some algorithmic transformation. • The “ATOMIC” parameter indicates whether the IMA can be safely transformed into ACE

  6. The use of the ALT-ADDRESS will be according to the following priority if SMTP servers can not support IMA capability. • If the sender has already set the ALT-ADDRESS value in spite of the value of ATMOIC, the client SMTP server will use this address as the emai address. • If the ALT-ADDRESS value is not set by the sender but the value of ATOMIC is 'y', the sender SMTP server can apply some algorithmic transformation such as punycode. • If the ALT-ADDRESS value is not set by the sender and the value of ATOMIC is 'n' which means that the local part of IMA can not be converted to the ASCII email address safely, the email must be bounced to the original sender.
