Wing +Request for Comments: 2530 Cisco Systems +Category: Standards Track March 1999 + + + Indicating Supported Media Features Using + Extensions to DSN and MDN + +Status of this Memo + + This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the + Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for + improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet + Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state + and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1999). All Rights Reserved. + +1. Abstract + + There is a need in Internet mail and Internet fax for a recipient to + indicate the media features it supports so that messages can be + generated by senders without exceeding the recipient's abilities. + + This memo describes a format for generating Message Disposition + Notifications [RFC2298] and Delivery Status Notifications [RFC1894] + which contain such information. This information can be used by + senders to avoid exceeding the recipient's capabilities when sending + subsequent messages. + +2. Introduction + + The extensions described in this document can be used in Message + Disposition Notifications [RFC2298] or Delivery Status Notifications + [RFC1894], as appropriate for the implementation. + + Note that both DSNs and MDNs have drawbacks: DSNs are not available + between all senders and receivers, and MDNs require the receiver to + disclose message disposition information (or, if using the "denied" + disposition-type, the time the disposition notification was + generated). + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. + + + + +Wing Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 2530 Media Features using DSN and MDN March 1999 + + +3. Extensions for use by DSN and MDN + + The following extension is available to both DSN [RFC1894] and MDN + [RFC2298] messages. + + For a DSN message, the following per-recipient fields are defined + (section 2.3 of [RFC1894]). For an MDN message, the following + extension fields are defined (section 3.1 of [RFC2298]). Using the + language of [RFC2234]: + + extension-field = media-features CRLF + + media-features = "Media-Accept-Features" ":" + media-feature-tags + media-feature-tags = <*text as defined below, + with LWSP wrapping> + + The <media-feature-tags> are defined in separate schema documents + which MUST utilize the language described in [SYNTAX]. The schema + MUST be registered following the registration requirements of + [RFC2506]. + +3.1. Examples + + The following examples assume there is a schema document which + defines the tags shown. + +3.1.1. Paper-size and Color + + Assuming there is a schema document which describes the tags paper- + size and color, the following example is valid: + + Media-Accept-Features: (& (paper-size=a4) (color=binary) ) + +3.1.2. UA-Media, Paper-size, and Color + + Assuming there is a schema document which describes the tags paper- + size, color, and grey: + + Media-Accept-Features: (& (| (paper-size=a4) (paper-size=letter) ) + (| (& (color=grey) (dpi=200) (dpi-xyratio=200/100) ) + (& (color=limited) (dpi=200) (dpi-xy=200/100) ) ) + +4. MTA Implmentation Recommendation + + If the recipient's MTA determines that a message cannot be processed, + the recipient's MTA is strongly encouraged to reject the message with + a status code of 5.6.1 [RFC1893]. This status code may be returned + + + +Wing Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 2530 Media Features using DSN and MDN March 1999 + + + in response to the end-of-mail-data indicator if the MTA supports + reporting of enhanced error codes [RFC2034], or after message + reception by generating a delivery failure DSN ("bounce"). + +5. Security Considerations + + Inaccurate media feature information could cause a denial of service, + causing subsequent messages to be sent which the recipient is unable + to process. + + The media feature information could be inaccurate due to a malicious + attack (spoofed DSN or MDN) or misconfiguration. + +6.
