Electronic mail is one of the oldest Internet applications that is Electronic mail is one of the oldest Internet applications that is
still in very active use. While the basic protocols and formats for still in very active use. While the basic protocols and formats for
mail transport and message formats have evolved slowly over the mail transport and message formats have evolved slowly over the
years, events and thinking in more recent years have supplemented years, events and thinking in more recent years have supplemented
those core protocols with additional features and suggestions for those core protocols with additional features and suggestions for
their use. This Applicability Statement describes the relationship their use. This Applicability Statement describes the relationship
among many of those protocols and provides guidance and makes among many of those protocols and provides guidance and makes
recommendations for the use of features of the core protocols. recommendations for the use of features of the core protocols.

I am not sure what, if anything, goes here. If nothing does, we drop
the section.
[[CREF2: ... Actual content to be supplied after WG consideration.]]
4. Use of IP addresses/domain names in EHLO
There has been a suggestion to update RFC 5321 [RFC5321] to clarify
that servers may verify the domain name in the EHLO command to see if
it matches up with the IP address of the client. The reasoning
behind this was that many mail servers were already verifying the
domain name provided with the EHLO command for anti spam purposes,
and that mail servers that don't have a matching domain name/IP
address are more likely to have their mail rejected.
People for this change say that this is the "de facto" practice and
that it should be formally specified since basically all mail servers
are verifying the EHLO domain name anyway.
People against this argue that the domain names supplied with the
EHLO command won't always have a matching IP because they are
internal domain names or a custom domain convention.
The consensus was that this should be specified within RFC 5231 due
to the fact it is already taking place to prevent spam.
5. Extension Keywords Starting in X- If the "Domain" argument to the EHLO command does not have an address
record in the DNS that matches the IP address of the client, the SMTP
server may refuse any mail from the client as part of established
anti-abuse practice. Operational experience has demonstrated that
the lack of a matching address record for the the domain name
argument is at best an indication of a poorly-configured MTA, and at
worst that of an abusive host.
Since the release of the SMTP RFC, opinons on "X" extensions have 2.2. Use of Address Literals
changed over the years. These opinions can best be represented by
RFC 6648 [RFC6648]. In short, people are beginning to "shy away"
from the usage of "X" extensions.
The proposed changes would involve the removal of the "X" extension The "address-literal" ABNF non-terminal is used in various places in
provisions in Section 2.2.2 of the SMTP RFC, and also called for the [I-D.ietf-emailcore-rfc5321bis] grammar however, for SMTP connections
removal of how to deal with "X" extensinos in the IANA considerations over the public internet, an "address-literal" as the argument to
and private-use commands. EHLO command or the "Domain" part of the "Mailbox" argument to the
MAIL FROM command is quite likely to result in the message being
rejected as a matter of policy at many sites, since they are deemed
to be signs of at best a misconfigured server, and at worst either a
compromised host or a server that's intentionally configured to hide
its identity.
While the exact solution is being talked about, the general consensus 2.3. Use of Addresses in Top-Level Domains
is that its a good idea for this part of the RFC to be removed or
reformed.
6. IP address literals in EHLO While addresses in top-level domains (TLDs) are syntactically valid,
mail to these addresses has never worked reliably. A handful of
country code TLDs have top level MX records but they have never been
widely used nor well supported. In 2013 [RFC7085] found 18 TLDs with
MX records, which dropped to 17 in 2021 despite many new TLDs having
been added.
One of the proposed ideas on the mailing list was to clarify if IP Mail sent to addresses with single label domains has typically
addresses are allowed to be used as a EHLO parameter. While the expected the address to be an abbreviation to be completed by a
original specification allowed for the use of IP addresses instead of search list, so mail to bob@sales would be completed to

However, some say there are some valid use cases for EHLO commands to 3. Applicability of Message Format Provisions

The general opinion is that the specification should have a section This section describes adjustments to the Internet Message Format

but should not ban IP literals outright.
7. Use of empty quote strings in email messages 3.1. Use of Empty Quoted Strings
quoted-string ABNF non terminal is used in various places in The "quoted-string" ABNF non-terminal is used in various places in
rfc5322bis grammar. While it allows for empty quoted string, such rfc5322bis grammar. While it allows for empty quoted string, such
construct is going to cause interoperability issues when used in construct is going to cause interoperability issues when used in
certain header fields. In particular, use of empty quoted strings is certain header fields. In particular, use of empty quoted strings is
NOT RECOMMENDED in "received-token" (a component of a Received header NOT RECOMMENDED in "received-token" (a component of a Received header
field), "keywords" (a component of a Keywords header field) and field), "keywords" (a component of a Keywords header field) and
"local-part" (left hand side of email addresses). Use of empty "local-part" (left hand side of email addresses). Use of empty
quoted strings is in particular problematic in the "local-part". For quoted strings is in particular problematic in the "local-part". For
example, all of the following email addresses are non interoperable: example, all of the following email addresses are non interoperable:
"".bar@example.com "".bar@example.com
foo.""@example.net foo.""@example.net
""@example.com ""@example.com
Use of empty quoted strings is fine in "display-name". Use of empty quoted strings is fine in "display-name".
