	Title		: On-Demand Mail Relay

    With the spread of low-cost computer systems and Internet
    connectivity, the demand for local mail servers had been rising.
    Many people now want to operate a mail server on a system which has
    only an intermittent connection to a service provider.  If the
    system has a static IP address, the [ESMTP] [ETRN] command can be
    used.  However, systems with dynamic IP addresses (which are very
    common with low-cost connections) have no widely-deployed solution.
 
    This memo proposes a new service, On-Demand Mail Relay, which is a
    profile of [ESMTP], providing for a secure, extensible, easy to
    implement approach to the problem.

Send a message to:	mailserv at ietf.org.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-gellens-on-demand-04.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
