+Abstract
+
+ The cellular telephone industry has defined a service known as the
+ Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). This service uses formats and
+ protocols that are similar to, but differ in key ways from, those
+ used in Internet mail.
+
+ One important difference between MMS and Internet Mail is that MMS
+ uses headers that start with "X-Mms-" to carry a variety of user
+ agent- and server-related information elements.
+
+ This document specifies how to exchange messages between these two
+ services, including mapping information elements as used in MMS
+ X-Mms-* headers as well as delivery and disposition reports, to and
+ from that used in SMTP and Internet message headers.

+1. Introduction
+
+1.1. Scope
+
+ This document describes how to exchange messages between Multimedia
+ Messaging Service (MMS) systems (as defined by [3GPP][3GPP2][OMA])
+ and Internet mail systems (that is, [SMTP] and [Msg-Fmt]). This
+ includes the translation of message formats, message header elements,
+ message delivery reports [DSN-Msg], and message disposition reports
+ [MDN].
+
+ The MMS architecture [Stage_2] and specifications [Stage_3] refer to
+ interfaces as reference points named MMx. For example, MM1 is the
+ client-server interface, MM4 is the server-server interface, and MM3
+ is an interface to "external" or non-MMS systems. The specification
+ in this document can be used for message exchange between any system
+ that uses Internet message formats and protocols and an MMS system;
+ from the perspective of the MMS system, reference point MM3 is used.
+
+ This document includes support for voice messages specified by the
+ Voice Profile for Internet Mail [VPIM]. The VPIM specification
+ allows voice messages to be exchanged between voice mail systems
+ using the Internet mail format [Msg-Fmt] and transported via [SMTP].
+ Thus, the MMS MM3 interface supports the ability to exchange voice
+ messages between an MMS system and a voice mail system. Note that
+ such use is distinct from voice media being part of a user-composed
+ multimedia message.
+
+
+
+Gellens Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 4356 Mapping Between MMS and Internet Mail January 2006
+
+
+ Note that MM3 can also be used for interworking with "external"
+ (non-MMS) systems other than Internet mail, such as Short Messaging
+ Service (SMS) and access to external mail stores (such as a voice
+ mail system). This specification does not address these other uses
+ or sub-interfaces of MM3; it is only concerned with Internet mail
+ interworking and specifically exchange of messages.
+
+ All MM3 Stage 2 [Stage_2] functions are supported except for reply
+ charging and sender address hiding.
+
+1.2. Conventions Used in This Document
+
+ The key words "REQUIRED", "MUST", "MUST NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT",
+ and "MAY" in this document are to be interpreted as described in "Key
+ Words for Use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels" [KEYWORDS].
+
+1.3. Definitions
+
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+ Body |The portion of an [SMTP] message's Content
+ |following the Header (that is, following the
+ |first blank line). The Body may contain
+ |structured parts and sub-parts, each of which
+ |may have its own Header and Body. The Body
+ |contains information intended for the message
+ |recipient (human or software).
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+ Content |The portion of an SMTP message that is
+ |delivered. The Content consists of a Header
+ |and a Body.
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+ Disposition Report |Feedback information to an originator User
+ |Agent by a recipient User Agent about
+ Message Disposition |handling of an original message. This may
+ Notification |include notification that the message was or
+ |was not read, was deleted unread, etc.
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+ Envelope |The portion of an SMTP message not included in
+ |the Content, that is, not in the Header or in
+ |the Body. While some of it may be copied into
+ |the Content on delivery, envelope information
+ |exists only while the message is in transit,
+ |and contains information used by SMTP agents
+ |(Mail Transfer Agents (MTAs)).
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+ Gateway |See [SMTP], Section 2.3.8.

+ Header |The first part of an SMTP message's Content.
+ |The Header is separated from the Body by a
+ |blank line. The Header consists of Fields
+ |(such as "To:"), also known as Header Fields
+ |or Headers. The message Header contains
+ |information used by User Agents.
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+ Relay/Server |An MMS server. See [Stage_2]. For purposes
+ |of this document, an MMS Relay/Server acts as
+ |a gateway when it receives or sends messages
+ |via Internet mail.
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+ User Agent |An MMS or email user agent.
+ --------------------|----------------------------------------------
+
+1.4. Abbreviations
+
+ --------|----------------------------------------------------------
+ MSA |Message Submission Agent. A server that accepts messages
+ |from User Agents and processes them, either delivering
+ |them locally or relaying to an MTA. See [Submission].
+ --------|----------------------------------------------------------
+ MTA |Mail Transfer Agent. A server that implements [SMTP].
+ --------|----------------------------------------------------------
+
+1.5. Assumptions
+
+ It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the contents
+ of the 3GPP2 MMS Specification Overview [Overview], MMS Stage 1
+ (requirements) [Stage_1] and Stage 2 (architecture and abstract
+ messages) [Stage_2], and 3GPP/3GPP2 Stage 3 (protocols) [Stage_3]
+ documents. It is also assumed that the reader is familiar with
+ Internet mail, especially RFC 2821 [SMTP] and RFC 2822 [Msg-Fmt].
+
+2. Mapping Between MMS and Internet Mail
+
+ This section defines the interworking between MMS Relay/Servers and
+ External Servers using native [SMTP]. That is, information elements
+ are exchanged using standard Internet message [Msg-Fmt] header
+ fields, such as those in [Hdrs], and standard [SMTP] elements.
+
+ SMTP and Internet mail extensions are used for features such as
+ delivery reports, message expiration, and discovery of server support
+ for optional features.

+
+
+2.1. Mapping Specification
+
+2.1.1. MMS to Internet Mail
+
+ When sending a message to an Internet mail system, the MMS
+ Relay/Server MUST convert the MM if required, and MUST comply with
+ the requirements of [SMTP].
+
+ The MMS Relay/Server SHOULD use the information elements associated
+ with the MM to define the control information (Internet message
+ header fields and SMTP envelope values) needed for the transfer
+ protocol.
+
+ Section 2.1.3 lists the mappings between X-Mms-* headers and Internet
+ message header fields and SMTP values.
+
+ Delivery and read report MMs SHOULD be converted to standard Internet
+ message report format (multipart/report). In addition to converting
+ Internet Message reports, the MMS Relay/Server MUST generate delivery
+ and read report MMs for received messages as appropriate. See
+ Section 2.1.4 for more information.
+
+2.1.2. Internet Mail to MMS
+
+ When receiving a message from an Internet mail system, the MMS
+ Relay/Server converts incoming messages to the MM format used within
+ the receiving system.
+
+ The MMS Relay/Server converts control information received from the
+ Internet mail server into appropriate information elements of an MM.
+
+ Section 2.1.3 lists the mappings between X-Mms-* headers and Internet
+ message header fields and SMTP values.
+
+ Standard Internet message report format (multipart/report) messages
+ MAY be converted to delivery or read report MMs, as appropriate. In
+ addition to converting report MMs, implementations conforming to this
+ document MUST generate standard Internet message delivery and
+ disposition reports for received Internet messages as appropriate.
+ See Section 2.1.4 for more information.

+
+2.1.3. MMS Information Element Mappings
+
+ The mappings between MMS elements and SMTP/Internet message elements
+ ([SMTP] parameters, [Msg-Fmt] headers, and [DSN-Msg] fields) are
+ summarized in table 1 below, and detailed in subsequent sections.
+ The "MMS Headers" are from [OMA-MMS]. Note that only information
+ elements that need to be mapped are listed. [Msg-Fmt] headers not
+ listed here SHOULD be passed unaltered.

+
+ 3GPP MMS Version
+
+ The 'X-Mms-3GPP-MMS-Version:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ Message Type (of PDU)
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Message-Type:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.

+
+
+ Transaction ID
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Transaction-Id:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ Message ID
+
+ The 'Message-Id:' header MUST be retained. If not present, it MUST
+ be created, with a unique value, per [Msg-Fmt].
+
+ To facilitate the case where an MMS message traverses the Internet
+ prior to returning to an MMS system, implementations might wish to
+ retain the 'X-Mms-Message-Id:' header. Such systems should be aware
+ that headers that begin with "X-" might be removed during transit
+ through Internet MTAs.
+
+ Recipient(s) address
+
+ The address of each recipient MUST be transmitted in the [SMTP]
+ envelope as a RCPT TO value. All disclosed recipients SHOULD also
+ appear in a 'To:' or 'Cc:' header. At least one 'To:', 'Cc:', or
+ 'Bcc:' header MUST be present. If none are present, a 'To:' header
+ SHOULD be created using empty group syntax whose name gives an
+ indication to a human reader, for example, 'To: undisclosed-
+ recipients:;'.
+
+ The 'To:' header SHOULD NOT appear more than once. The 'Cc:' header
+ SHOULD NOT appear more than once.
+
+ Each recipient address MUST obey the length restrictions per [SMTP].
+
+ Current Internet Message format requires that only 7-bit US-ASCII
+ characters be present in headers. Non-7-bit characters in an address
+ domain must be encoded with [IDN]. If there are any non-7-bit
+ characters in the local part of an address, the message MUST be
+ rejected. Non-7-bit characters elsewhere in a header MUST be encoded
+ according to [Hdr-Enc].
+
+ All recipient addresses in the [SMTP] envelope must be fully-
+ qualified in accordance with [SMTP]. In particular, messages MUST
+ NOT be sent to an Internet mail system with an unqualified E.164
+ number (i.e., a number with no domain) instead of a fully-qualified
+ domain name.
+
+ All addresses in 'To:', 'Cc:', and 'Bcc:' headers MUST be in the form
+ of fully-qualified domains. Unqualified E.164 numbers MUST NOT be
+ used.
+
+
+
+
+
+Gellens Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 4356 Mapping Between MMS and Internet Mail January 2006
+
+
+ Sender address
+
+ The address of the message sender SHOULD appear in the 'From:'
+ header.
+
+ The address of the message sender for all user-generated messages
+ ('X-Mms-Message-Class: Personal') SHOULD be transmitted in the
+ [SMTP] envelope as the MAIL FROM value.
+
+ The return addresses in the [SMTP] envelope must be fully-qualified
+ in accordance with [SMTP]. In particular, messages MUST NOT be sent
+ to an Internet mail system with an E.164 number instead of a fully-
+ qualified domain name. Note that qualified E.164 numbers, that is,
+ those that contain an E.164 number as the local-part of an address
+ that also includes a domain, are acceptable.
+
+ The address(es) in the 'From:' header SHOULD be in the form of
+ fully-qualified domains. Unqualified E.164 numbers SHOULD NOT be
+ used.
+
+ Because of the risk of mail loops, it is critical that the MAIL FROM
+ be set to null ("<>") for all automatically-generated MMs (such as
+ 'X-Mms-Message-Class: Auto'). The MAIL FROM value MUST be set to
+ null for all automatically-generated messages. This includes
+ reports, "out-of-office" replies, etc.
+
+ Current Internet message format requires that only 7-bit US-ASCII
+ characters be present in headers. Non-7-bit characters in an address
+ domain must be encoded with [IDN]. If there are any Non-7-bit
+ characters in the local part of an address, the message MUST be
+ rejected. Non-7-bit characters elsewhere in a header MUST be encoded
+ according to [Hdr-Enc]. Note that it would be possible to define an
+ [SMTP] extension to permit transmission of unencoded 8-bit
+ characters, but in the absence of such an extension [Hdr-Enc] MUST be
+ used.
+
+ The sender address MUST obey the length restrictions of [SMTP].
+
+ Content type
+
+ The 'Content-Type:' header SHOULD be preserved.

+
+
+ Message class
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Message-Class:' header MAY be retained in order to provide
+ information on the source of the message. A 'Precedence: bulk'
+ header MAY be inserted for class=auto or class=advertisement. See
+ 'Sender Address' above. (Class=personal and class=informational do
+ not require special handling.)
+
+ Time of Expiry
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Expiry:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ The remaining time until the message is considered expired SHOULD be
+ transmitted in the [SMTP] envelope by using the DELIVER-BY extension
+ with a by-mode of "R", as specified in [Deliver-By].
+
+ Note that the [SMTP] DELIVER-BY extension carries time remaining
+ until expiration; each server decrements the value by the amount of
+ time it has possessed the message. The 'X-Mms-Expiry:' header may
+ contain either the absolute time at which the message is considered
+ expired or the relative time until the message is considered expired.
+
+ Earliest delivery time
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Delivery-Time:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ Future delivery is a message submission (e.g., [Submission]), not
+ message relay feature.
+
+ Delivery report request
+
+ Requests for delivery status notifications (DSNs) SHOULD be
+ transmitted in the [SMTP] envelope by using the DSN extension as
+ specified in [DSN-SMTP] to request "success" or "none" notification
+ (depending on the value of the 'X-Mms-Delivery-Report' header). When
+ the NOTIFY extension is used, the unaltered recipient address SHOULD
+ be transmitted as the ORCPT value.
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Delivery-Report:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ Importance
+
+ The message sender's importance value (also called "priority",
+ although this can be confused with class-of-service values) SHOULD be
+ transmitted using an 'Importance:' header.
+
+ Suggested mappings are shown in Table 2:

+
+ Normal importance messages should omit the 'Importance:' header.
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Priority:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ Sender visibility
+
+ Support for sender address hiding is not currently supported.
+
+ A message that contains an 'X-Mms-Sender-Visibility:' header with a
+ value of 'Hide' SHOULD be rejected.
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Sender-Visibility:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ Read reply request
+
+ A request for a read reply SHOULD be transmitted using a
+ 'Disposition-Notification-To:' header as specified in [MDN].
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Read-Reply:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+
+ Reply charging
+
+ Reply charging permission and acceptance are complex issues requiring
+ both user agent and server support. Misapplied reply charging may
+ cause incorrect billing. Until the security issues have been
+ properly addressed, reply charging SHOULD NOT be honored when using
+ this interface.
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Reply-Charging:', 'X-Mms-Reply-Charging-Deadline:', 'X-
+ Mms-Reply-Charging-Size:', and 'X-Mms-Reply-Charging-Id:' headers MAY
+ be removed. Messages containing a reply-charging usage request ('X-
+ Mms-Reply-Charging-Id:' and 'X-Mms-Reply-Charging: accepted' or 'X-
+ Mms-Reply-Charging: accepted (text only)' headers) SHOULD be
+ rejected.

+
+
+ Subject
+
+ The 'Subject:' header MUST be preserved. The current Internet
+ message format requires that only 7-bit US-ASCII characters be
+ present. Other characters MUST be encoded according to [Hdr-Enc].
+ Note that it is possible for an [SMTP] extension to be defined that
+ would permit transmission of unencoded 8-bit characters, but in the
+ absence of such an extension, [Hdr-Enc] MUST be used.
+
+ Resending
+
+ A message may be resent to one or more new recipients. It may be
+ resent more than once, each time new 'Resent-' headers are added at
+ the top of the existing headers. Thus, if more than one series of
+ 'Resent-' headers are present, the original series is the last; the
+ most recent is the first.
+
+ Forward counter
+
+ An 'X-Mms-Forward-Counter:' header, if present, SHOULD be removed.
+ The 'Resent-Count:' header is NOT RECOMMENDED. Loop control is
+ usually done by counting 'Received' headers, which are more general
+ than 'Resent-' headers.
+
+ Previously-Sent Information
+
+ MMS lists the resending history of a message in two headers: 'X-
+ Mms-Previously-Sent-By:' and 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-Date-and-Time:'.
+ 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-By:' contains a number followed by one or
+ more addresses. 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-Date-and-Time:' contains a
+ number followed by a date-time. With both headers, the number "0" is
+ used for the entry that corresponds to the original submission of the
+ message, with higher values being used for each subsequent resending.
+ The final (most recent) resending information is in the 'From:' and
+ 'Date:' headers. There is also an 'X-Mms-Forward-Counter:' that
+ indicates how many times the message has been resent.
+
+ Any 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-By:', 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-Date-and-
+ Time:', and 'X-Mms-Forward-Counter:' headers, if present, SHOULD be
+ removed. The information contained in them SHOULD be translated into
+ [Msg-Fmt] headers as follows:
+
+ The 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-Date-and-Time:' header whose value starts
+ with "0" SHOULD be used to create a 'Date:' header, converting the

+
+ 'Received:' Headers
+
+ When a message is gatewayed from MMS to Internet mail, a 'Received:'
+ header MUST be added as per [SMTP]. The "with" clause should specify
+ "MMS".
+
+
+
+
+
+Gellens Standards Track [Page 14]
+
+RFC 4356 Mapping Between MMS and Internet Mail January 2006
+
+
+ A message MAY be rejected if the number of 'Received:' headers
+ exceeds a locally-defined maximum, which MUST conform to [SMTP]
+ Section 6.2 and SHOULD be no less than 100.
+
+ Privacy
+
+ Note that MMS systems do not currently support the 'Privacy' header
+ field as described by [VPIM].
+
+ Content
+
+ The message content appears in the message body. Note that Internet
+ message format requires that line endings be encoded as US-ASCII CR
+ LF octets; thus, charset encodings that do not have this property
+ cannot be used in text/* body parts. (They may be used in other body
+ parts, but only when they are suitably encoded or when binary
+ transmission has been negotiated, e.g., [BINARY].) In particular,
+ MMS allows UTF-16, whereas the Internet message format does not.
+ UTF-16 encoding MUST be translated to UTF-8 or another charset and
+ encoding that is suitable for use in Internet message
+ format/protocols.
+
+2.1.3.3. Conversion of Messages from Internet to MMS Format
+
+ 3GPP MMS Version
+
+ An 'X-Mms-3GPP-MMS-Version:' header SHOULD be added.
+
+ Message Type (of PDU)
+
+ An 'X-Mms-Message-Type:' header SHOULD be used in accordance with the
+ specific MMS interface (e.g., MM1, MM4).
+
+ Transaction ID
+
+ An 'X-Mms-Transaction-Id:' header SHOULD be used in accordance with
+ the specific MMS interface (e.g., MM1, MM4).
+
+ Message ID
+
+ The 'Message-Id:' header MUST be retained. If not present, it MUST
+ be created, with a unique value.
+
+ Recipient(s) address
+
+ 'To:' and 'Cc:' headers MUST be retained.

+
+RFC 4356 Mapping Between MMS and Internet Mail January 2006
+
+
+ Each recipient contained in the [SMTP] envelope (RCPT TO values) MUST
+ be considered a recipient of the message. Recipients who appear in
+ address headers but not the [SMTP] envelope MUST be ignored.
+ Recipients who appear in the [SMTP] envelope but do not appear in
+ headers are considered "blind" (Bcc) recipients; such recipients MUST
+ NOT be added to message headers (including address and trace headers)
+ unless there is only one recipient total.
+
+ Sender address
+
+ The 'From:' header MUST be retained.
+
+ Content type
+
+ The complete 'Content-Type:' header (including any parameters) SHOULD
+ be preserved.
+
+ Message class
+
+ An 'X-Mms-Message-Class: personal' header MAY be created for all
+ received messages with a non-null return path (MAIL FROM value in the
+ SMTP envelope). An 'X-Mms-Message-Class: auto' header MAY be created
+ for messages with a null return path.
+
+ Time of Expiry
+
+ An 'X-Mms-Expiry:' header SHOULD be created if the message contains a
+ relative time to expiration in the DELIVER-BY extension with a by-
+ mode of "R", as specified in [Deliver-By].
+
+ If the by-mode is "N", a "relayed" DSN MUST be issued per
+ [Deliver-By] and an 'X-Mms-Expiry:' header SHOULD NOT be created.
+
+ Delivery report request
+
+ An 'X-Mms-Delivery-Report:' header SHOULD be created for messages
+ that request 'success' or 'none' delivery status notification by use
+ of the DSN extension as specified in [DSN-SMTP]. Requests for
+ 'delay' notifications or non-default actions, such as that only the
+ message headers should be returned, cannot be mapped onto MMS headers
+ and thus SHOULD be ignored.

+
+
+ Importance
+
+ The message sender's importance value (also called "priority",
+ although this can be confused with class-of-service values) is
+ expressed with an 'Importance:' header. Historically, some clients
+ used the older and non-standard 'X-Priority:' header for this
+ purpose. As a result, some clients generate both.
+
+ An 'X-Priority:' or 'Importance:' header, if present, SHOULD be
+ replaced with an 'X-Mms-Priority:' header. If both headers are
+ present, 'Importance:' SHOULD be used. Suggested mappings are shown
+ in Table 3:
+
+2.1.3.3.1. Table 3: Priority Mappings (Internet Message to MMS)

+
+ Support for sender address hiding is not currently supported.

+
+ A request for a read reply contained in a 'Disposition-Notification-

+
+ Resending
+
+ Mapping from 'Resent-' and other [Msg-Fmt] headers to 'X-Mms-
+ Previously-Sent-' headers SHOULD be done as follows:
+
+ The original 'From:' header is mapped to an 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-
+ By:' header with a leading "0" value. The value of the top-most
+ 'Resent-From:' header is mapped to the 'From:' header. The value of
+ each subsequent 'Resent-From:' header is mapped to an 'X-Mms-
+ Previously-Sent-By:' header with the next larger leading value.
+
+ The original 'Date:' header is mapped to an 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-
+ Date-and-Time:' header with a leading "0" value. Note that the value
+ is also converted from date-time syntax [Msg-Fmt] to HTTP-date syntax
+ [HTTP]. The value of the top-most 'Resent-Date:' header is mapped to
+ the 'Date:' header. The value of each subsequent 'Date:' header is
+ mapped to an 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-Date-and-Time:' header with the
+ next larger leading value.
+
+ If one or more 'Resent-Message-ID:' headers are present, the top-most
+ one SHOULD be mapped to 'Message-ID:'; otherwise, the 'Message-ID:'
+ header should be retained.
+
+ An 'X-Mms-Forward-Counter:' header SHOULD be created when 'Resent-'
+ headers have been mapped to 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-' headers. Its
+ value SHOULD be the number of 'Resent-' blocks that existed prior to
+ mapping.
+
+ Example:
+
+ The original message:

+
+ Note that the original 'From:' and 'Date:' values were moved to 'X-
+ Mms-Previously-Sent-By:' and 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-Date-and-Time:'
+ headers with a leading "0" value. The first 'Resent-From:' and
+ 'Resent-Date:' values were moved to a second set of 'X-Mms-
+ Previously-Sent-' headers, with a leading "1" value. The third set
+ of 'Resent-' headers were moved to the 'Date:', 'To:', and 'From:'
+ headers.
+
+ Note also that the format of the date and time differs between the
+ 'Date:' / 'Resent-Date:' and the 'X-Mms-Previously-Sent-Date-and-
+ Time:' headers, in that the latter use HTTP-date [HTTP] instead of
+ date-time [Msg-Fmt].
+
+ 'Received:' Headers
+
+ Each system that processes a message SHOULD add a 'Received:' header
+ as per [SMTP]. A message MAY be rejected if the number of
+ 'Received:' headers exceeds a locally-defined maximum, which MUST
+ conform to [SMTP] Section 6.2 and SHOULD be no less than 100.

+
+RFC 4356 Mapping Between MMS and Internet Mail January 2006
+
+
+ Sensitivity
+
+ The 'Sensitivity:' header field (value = "personal" or "private")
+ [VPIM] indicates the desire of a voice message originator to send the
+ message contents to the original recipient list with assurance that
+ the message will not be forwarded further by either the messaging
+ system or the actual message recipient(s). Since sensitivity is not
+ an MMS feature, any messages that contain a 'Sensitivity:' header
+ MUST NOT be sent to an MMS system. The associated negative delivery
+ status report MUST include the extended status code [RESP] 5.6.0 as
+ specified in [VPIM] ("Other or undefined protocol status") indicating
+ that privacy could not be ensured.
+
+ Content
+
+ The message content appears in the message body.
+
+2.1.4. Report Generation and Conversion
+
+ Internet message systems use the multipart/report MIME type for
+ delivery and disposition reports as specified in [Report-Fmt]. This
+ format is a two- or three-part MIME message; one part is a structured
+ format describing the event being reported in an easy-to-parse
+ format. Specific reports have a format that is built on
+ [Report-Fmt]. Delivery reports are specified in [DSN-Msg]. Message
+ disposition reports, which include read reports, are specified in
+ [MDN].
+
+ By contrast, MMS reports are plain text, with no defined structure
+ specified. This makes it difficult to convert from an MMS report to
+ a standard Internet report.
+
+ An implementation conforming to this specification MUST convert
+ reports received from one side (MMS or Internet mail) destined for
+ the other. In addition, reports MUST be generated as appropriate for
+ messages received from either side. For example, if an MM to be sent
+ via Internet mail is not deliverable, a delivery status MM shall be
+ generated. Likewise, if an Internet message is received that cannot
+ be further relayed or delivered, a delivery status report [DSN-Msg]
+ MUST be generated.
+
+ When creating delivery or disposition reports from MMS reports, the
+ MMS report should be parsed to determine the reported event and time,
+ status, and the headers of the referenced (original) message. These
+ elements, once determined, are used to populate the subparts of the
+ delivery or disposition report. The first subpart is of type
+ text/plain, and contains a human-readable explanation of the event.
+ This text may include a statement that the report was synthesized
+
+
+
+Gellens Standards Track [Page 20]
+
+RFC 4356 Mapping Between MMS and Internet Mail January 2006
+
+
+ based on an MMS report. The second subpart is of type
+ report/delivery-status (for delivery reports) or report/disposition-
+ notification (for disposition reports). This second part contains a
+ structured itemization of the event. The optional third subpart is
+ of type message/rfc822 and includes the headers and optionally the
+ body of the referenced (original) message. Note that, per [DSN-Msg],
+ the 'DSN-Gateway:' field in delivery reports MUST be created.

+
+
+
+2.1.5. Message Delivery
+
+ Within Internet mail, when [SMTP] is used and delivery reports are
+ requested [DSN-SMTP], delivery is considered to be acceptance of a
+ message by the final server, that is, the server closest to the
+ recipient. When an MMS Relay/Server receives a message using [SMTP]
+ and a delivery report is requested, the MMS Relay/Server MAY consider
+ the message delivered when it has been sent to the MMS User Agent.
+
+3. Security Considerations
+
+ Both MMS and Internet mail have their own set of security risks and
+ considerations. This document specifies how to exchange messages
+ between these two environments, so it is only appropriate to discuss
+ considerations specific to this functionality, not those inherent in
+ either environment.
+
+ When a message uses end-to-end security mechanisms such as [PGP] or
+ S/MIME [SMIME], servers MUST be careful not to accidently destroy the
+ integrity of the protected content (for example, by altering any text
+ within the region covered by a signature while mapping between MMS
+ and email). [Mime-Sec-gw] discusses issues with use of such
+ mechanisms in gateways.
+
+ Some MMS features contain inherently more risk than others, including
+ reply charging and sender address hiding. Support for these
+ mechanisms is not included in this document.
+
+4. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has added "MMS" as one of the "WITH protocol types" under its
+ "MAIL Parameters" registry. The description is "Multimedia Messaging
+ Service"; the reference is to this document.
+
+5. Acknowledgements
+
+ A number of people contributed to this document, especially the
+ members of the IETF Lemonade working group, including Greg Vaudreuil.
+ John Klensin did a very thorough and helpful review. Greg White
+ caught a large number of nits. Ted Hardie was very helpful. Alexey
+ Melnikov and Chris Newman sent very useful and detailed comments.
