Author's = Addresses............................................11=20 =20 =20 1. Introduction=20 =20 The MIME extensions to the Internet message protocol = provide for the=20 transmission of many kinds of data which were = previously unsupported=20 in Internet mail. One expected result of the use of = MIME is that=20 SMTP will be expected to carry a much wider range of = message sizes=20 and message media types than was previously the case. = This has an=20 impact on the amount of resources (e.g., disk space) = required by a=20 system acting as a server.=20 =20 This memo uses the mechanism defined in [5] to define = extensions to=20 the SMTP service whereby a client ("sender-SMTP") may = declare the=20 general size of a particular message and a per media = size to a server=20 ("receiver-SMTP"), after which the server may = indicate to the client=20 that it is or is not willing to accept the message = based on the=20 declared =91per-media size=92 of the message and = whereby a server=20 ("receiver-SMTP") may declare the maximum = =91per-media size=92 for a=20 message it is willing to accept from a client = ("sender-SMTP").=20 This memo extends facilities of "SMTP Service = Extension for Message=20 Size Declaration" [3].=20 =20 As mentioned above, the proposed extension allows an = SMTP client and=20 an SMTP server to coordinate transmission of a = message based on its=20 size, classified by specific media type(s). This = allows the server=20 to manage quota per media or per message-context (see = [6]). =20 =20 There are basically two alternatives to manage = per-media/context=20 quota: (1) Associate the media size of the whole = message to a=20 "Message-Context" category (see [6]). Or, (2) = Associate each body=20 part to a specific Quota class, based on its = content/media type. (=20 =20 An example of (1) is a "voice-message" = message-context, which may=20 include a text attachment. Both the voice and the = text parts will be=20 accounted on the "voice-message" Quota.=20 =20 Shveidel Informational - Expires February 2003 = 2 =0C SMTP Per Media Size Declaration = June 2002=20 =20 =20 =20 An example of (2) is a "video message" that contains = a body part=20 with video content-type and another body part with = audio content- type =96 each of them accounted to different quota = classes "video" and=20 "audio" respectively.=20 An implementation may decide which of the above = alternatives to use.=20 =20 =20 2. Framework for the Per Media Size Declaration = Extension=20 =20 The following service extension is therefore defined: = =20 (1) The name of the SMTP service extension is = "Message MediaSize=20 Declaration";=20 =20 (2) The EHLO keyword value associated with this = extension is=20 "MEDIASIZE";=20 =20 (3) Some optional parameters are allowed with this = EHLO keyword.=20 Each parameter is a string indicating the fixed = maximum size of=20 media parts of the message in special units that = the server will=20 accept. The syntax of the parameter is as follows, = using the=20 augmented BNF notation of [2]:=20 =20 mediasize-params ::=3D [*(SP media_size_dsc)]=20 =20 media_size_dsc ::=3D media:maxsize unit = *([;maxsize unit])=20 =20 media ::=3D (ALPHA / DIGIT) *(ALPHA / DIGIT / = "-")=20 =20 maxsize ::=3D [1*(DIGIT)]=20 =20 unit ::=3D ALPHA *(ALPHA / "-")=20 =20 =20 A maxsize value of 0 (zero) indicates that no = fixed maximum=20 message media size is in force. If some parameter = is omitted no=20 information is conveyed about the server's fixed = maximum message=20 size for corresponding media. =20 =20 (4) One optional parameter using the keyword "SIZE" = is added to the =20 MAIL FROM command. The value associated with this = parameter is a=20 string indicating the general size and the = per-media size of the=20 message that is to be transmitted. The syntax of = the value is as=20 follows, using the augmented BNF notation of [2]:=20 =20 =20 mediasize-value ::=3D = general_size[*(;media_size)]=20 =20 general_size ::=3D size-value=20 =20 media_size ::=3D [media:size-value unit]=20 =20 =20 Shveidel Informational - Expires February 2003 = 3 =0C SMTP Per Media Size Declaration = June 2002=20 =20 =20 =20 media ::=3D (ALPHA / DIGIT) *(ALPHA / DIGIT / = "-")=20 =20 unit ::=3D ALPHA *(ALPHA / "-")=20 =20 size-value ::=3D 1*(DIGIT)=20 =20 =20 (5) no additional SMTP verbs are defined by this = extension.=20 =20 The remainder of this memo specifies how support = for the extension =20 affects the behavior of an SMTP client and server. = =20 =20 3. The Message Media Size Declaration service extension = =20 An SMTP server may have a fixed upper limit not only = on general=20 message size but also an upper limit on each media = type, which may be=20 contained in the message. Any attempt by a client to = transfer a=20 message containing a media part whose size is larger = than this fixed=20 upper limit will fail. In addition, a server = normally has limited=20 space for storing incoming messages. Transfer of a = message may=20 therefore fail due to lack of storage space for a = specific media, but=20 may succeed at a later time.=20 =20 A client using the SMTP protocol defined in [1] (with = no extensions)=20 or the SMTP protocol with "Message Size Declaration = service=20 extension" [3] can only be informed of such failures = after=20 transmitting the entire message to the server (which = discards the=20 transferred message). If, however, both client and = server support the=20 Message Media Size Declaration service extension, = such conditions may=20 be detected before any transfer is attempted.=20 =20 =20 An SMTP client wishing to relay large media content = may issue the=20 EHLO command to start an SMTP session, to determine = if the server=20 supports any of several service extensions. If the = server responds=20 with code 250 to the EHLO command, and the response = includes the EHLO=20 keyword value MEDIASIZE, then the Message Media Size = Declaration=20 extension is supported.=20 =20 If a string of parameters follows the MEDIASIZE = keyword value of the=20 EHLO response, each of the parameters indicates the = maximal size and=20 units for a specific media type of the message, or = parts of the=20 message, that the server is willing to accept. Any = attempt by a=20 client to transfer a message containing a media part = that is larger=20 than this limit will be rejected with a permanent = failure (552) reply=20 code.=20 If the SMTP server has no fixed maximum size = limitation for a=20 specific media, it still should include this media = type in the=20 MEDIASIZE EHLO response (with the maximum size set to = 0) so that the=20 client knows that this media type is supported by the = server and the=20 media unit(s) supported in the context of MEDIASIZE = processing.=20 =20 Shveidel Informational - Expires February 2003 = 4 =0C SMTP Per Media Size Declaration = June 2002=20 =20 =20 =20 =20 A server that supports the Message Media Size = Declaration extension=20 will accept the extended version of the MAIL command = described below.=20 When supported by the server, a client may use the = extended MAIL=20 command (instead of the MAIL command as defined in = [1] and extension=20 defined in [3]) to declare an estimate of the size of = a message it=20 wishes to transfer. The server may then return an = appropriate error=20 code if it determines that an attempt to transfer a = message with=20 media part of that size would fail.=20 =20 4. Definitions=20 =20 The per media message size is defined as the sequence = of general=20 message size (as it is defined in [3]), and one or = more media size=20 items describing duration of media parts of the = message. A Media size=20 item is defined as the sequence of the character ";", = media name, the=20 character ":", media size (or duration) and = immediately following it,=20 the unit measurement name. Media name is defined as = alphabetical=20 string and is subject for future standardization. = Size is defined as=20 number of octets. Measurement unit is defined as = alphabetical string=20 and is subject for future standardization.=20 =20 The fixed maximum message per media size is defined = as the set of the=20 fixed maximum message sizes for specific media = potentially contained=20 in the message that a server is ever willing to = accept. An attempt=20 to transfer any message with media part larger than = the fixed maximum=20 for this media will always fail.=20 The fixed maximum message media size may be an = implementation=20 artifact of the SMTP server, or it may be chosen by = the administrator=20 of the server.=20 The fixed maximum size for specific media is defined = as the sequence=20 of media name, the character ":" and one or more = pairs of media size=20 followed by the measurement unit. Pairs are delimited = by a ";". Each=20 pair gives an alternative for media size/duration = representation=20 supported by the server. =20 =20 The declared message media size is defined as a = client's estimate of=20 the message media size for a particular message.=20 =20 5. The extended MAIL command=20 =20 The extended MAIL command is issued by a client when = it wishes to=20 inform a server of the media size(s) of the message = to be sent. The=20 extended MAIL command is identical to the MAIL = command as defined in=20 [3], except that a SIZE parameter contains not only = general message=20 size but also the media size (or duration).=20 =20 The complete syntax of thee extended command is = defined in [5].

General message size is = represented as it is=20 defined in [3].=20 =20 Ideally, the declared message media size is equal to = the true message=20 size. However, since exact computation of the message = media size may=20 be infeasible, the client may use a = heuristically-derived estimate.=20 Such heuristics should be chosen so that the declared = message media=20 size is larger than the actual message size.=20 =20 NOTE: Servers MUST NOT use the SIZE parameter to = determine end of=20 content in the DATA command.=20 =20 5.1 Server action on receipt of the extended MAIL = command=20 =20 Upon receipt of an extended MAIL command containing a = media extended=20 SIZE parameter, a server should determine whether the = declared=20 general message size exceeds its (current) fixed = maximum message size=20 and whether declared media size(s) exceed = corresponding fixed maximum=20 media sizes. If the declared general message size = and all of=20 declared media sizes are smaller than the = corresponding fixed maximum=20 message sizes, the server may also wish to determine = whether=20 sufficient resources are available to buffer a = message of the=20 declared media size and to maintain it in stable = storage, until the=20 message can be delivered or relayed to each of its = recipients.=20 =20 A server may respond to the extended MAIL command = with any of the=20 error codes defined in [1] and [3] for the MAIL = command. In=20 addition, one of the following error codes may be = returned:=20 =20 (1) If the server does not support the measurement = unit for a=20 specific media that was specified by the client in = the MAIL=20 command, the server should respond with code "501 = Syntax error in=20 parameter, illegal unit name" =20 =20 (2) If the server currently lacks sufficient = resources to accept a=20 message of the indicated media size, but may be = able to accept the=20 message at a later time, it should respond with = code "452=20 insufficient system media-specific storage".=20 =20 (3) If the indicated per media size is larger than = the server's fixed=20 maximum message per media size, the server should = respond with=20 code "552 message media size exceeds fixed maximum = message media=20 size".=20 =20 A server is permitted, but not required, to accept = a message,=20 which is, in fact, larger than declared in the = extended MAIL=20 command, such as might occur if the client = employed a size- estimation heuristic which was inaccurate = (produced a lower=20 result).=20 =20 =20 Shveidel Informational - Expires February 2003 = 6 =0C SMTP Per Media Size Declaration = June 2002=20 =20 =20 =20 =20 =20 5.2 Client action on receiving response to extended MAIL = command=20 =20 =20 (1) If the code "452 insufficient system media = storage" is returned,=20 the client should next send either a RSET command = (if it wishes to=20 attempt to send other messages) or a QUIT command. = The client=20 should then repeat the attempt to send the message = to the server=20 at a later time.=20 =20 (2) If the code "552 message media size exceeds fixed = maximum message=20 media size" is received, the client should = immediately send either=20 a RSET command (if it wishes to attempt to send = additional=20 messages), or a QUIT command. The client should = then declare the=20 message undeliverable and return appropriate = notification to the=20 sender (if a sender address was present in the = MAIL command).=20 =20 A successful (250) reply code in response to the = extended MAIL=20 command does not constitute an absolute guarantee = that the message=20 transfer will succeed. SMTP clients using the = extended MAIL=20 command must still be prepared to handle both = temporary and=20 permanent error reply codes (including codes 452 = and 552), either=20 immediately after issuing the DATA command, or = after transfer of=20 the message.=20 =20 5.3 Messages containing media parts larger than the = declared media size.=20 =20 Once a server has agreed (via the extended MAIL = command) to accept a=20 message of a particular media size, it should not = return a 552 reply=20 code after the transfer phase of the DATA command, = unless the actual=20 per media size of the message transferred is greater = than the=20 declared message per media size. A server may also = choose to accept a=20 message containing media parts which are somewhat = larger than the=20 declared media size.=20 =20 A client is permitted to declare a message to be = smaller than its actual per media size. However, in this case, a = successful (250=20 reply code is no assurance that the server will = accept the message or=20 has sufficient resources to do so. The server may = reject such a=20 message after its DATA transfer.=20 =20 5.4 Per-recipient rejection based on message per media = size.=20 =20 A server that implements this extension may return a = 452 or 552 reply=20 code (as it is explained in 5.1) in response to a = RCPT command, based=20 on its unwillingness to accept a message of the = declared per media=20 size for a particular recipient.=20 =20 (1) If a 452 code is returned, the client is expected = to requeue the=20 message for later delivery to the same recipient.=20 =20 =20 Shveidel Informational - Expires February 2003 = 7 =0C SMTP Per Media Size Declaration = June 2002=20 =20 =20 =20 (2) If a 552 code is returned, the client is expected = to refrain from=20 any later retry delivery to the same recipient.=20 =20 6. Minimal usage=20 =20 A "minimal" client may use this extension to simply = compare the=20 (perhaps estimated) per media size of the message = that it wishes to=20 relay, with the server's fixed maximum message per = media size (from=20 the parameter to the MEDIASIZE keyword in the EHLO = response), to=20 determine whether the server will ever accept the = message. Such an=20 implementation need not declare message per media = size via the=20 extended MAIL command. However, neither will it be = able to discover=20 temporary limits on message media size due to server = resource=20 limitations, nor per-recipient limitations on message = media size.=20 =20 A "minimal" server that employs this service = extension may simply use=20 the MEDIASIZE keyword value to inform the client of = the size of the=20 largest media parts of message it will accept, or to = inform the=20 client that there is no fixed limit on message media = sizes. Such a=20 server must accept the extended MAIL command and = return a 552 reply=20 code if the client's declared media size exceeds its = fixed media size=20 limit (if any), but it need not detect "temporary" = limitations on=20 message media size.=20 =20 The string parameters to the EHLO MEDIASIZE keyword = are optional. If=20 some parameter is omitted entirely it indicates that = the server does=20 not advertise a fixed maximum for this media size. A = server that=20 returns the MEDIASIZE keyword with no parameter or = with omitted=20 parameter for specific media in response to the EHLO = command should=20 not issue a positive (250) response to an extended = MAIL command=20 containing a media-extended SIZE specification = without first checking=20 to see if sufficient resources are available to = transfer a message of=20 the declared media sizes, and to retain it in stable = storage until it=20 can be relayed or delivered to its recipients. If = possible, the=20 server should actually reserve sufficient message = storage space to=20 transfer the message.=20 =20 7.

    Proposed Charter
    =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
    Internet Unified Messaging brings = together the body of work currently
    chartered in VPIM, IFAX, IMAPEXT, = and other IETF work groups.  The goal is
    to provide a single infrastructure, = mailbox, and set of interfaces for a
    user to get, respond to, and = manipulate all of their messages from a
    collection of clients with varying = capabilities, no matter what the media or
    source.  Initial work, in the = VPIM and FAX WG for example, focused on the
    server and network interactions and = has resulted in a rich base of Internet
    Mail standards to support unified = messaging.  Now that this work is stable
    in the industry, and with the = proliferation of smaller and often mobile
    Internet devices, the issues of = client access to Internet Mail need to be
    addressed.

    Given the potentially broad scope of = "unified messaging", this BOF will
    focus on the following work = items:

    1.  Enhance message retrieval = protocols to satisfy the requirements for
    low-latency playback.

    2. Extend message deposit and = retrieval to satisfy the requirements for
    low-bit-rate transports and = limited-processing devices, such as mobile
    endpoints.

    3. Create appropriate message = notification protocols to satisfy the need of
    reporting the status of different = message contexts.


    The BOF will coordinate its efforts = with the 3GPP TSG T WG2 SWG3 Messaging
    <http://www.3gpp.org/TB/T/T2/T2.htm> and other appropriate entities, such = as

    the W3C Mulitmodal interaction = Activity <http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/>.

    While there is obvious synergy, given = the end-of-life of the VPIM and FAX
    work groups and the similar = membership, the BOF does not expect to
    coordinate with those groups.

    If IMAP-EXT gets rechartered, then = the BOF will coordinate the LEMONAID
    requirements with IMAP-EXT.  = Otherwise, this BOF will consider extensions to
    IMAP for the purposes of LEMONAID = support.

It directly impacts interoperability, so it's a protocol issue. For example, your I-D says that a server may validate an incoming message's size based on the server's advertised size. If the server said it could receive a 30 second long message, and received a 1Mb audio attachment, I would say the high-fidelity audio attachment (which was 30 seconds in duration) met the requirement, but your implementation might have assumed G.729 compression. For example, in the case of voice-mail systems, they usually support a limited number of formats/codecs and then the conversion is more straight forward. If it's up to the client and server, then please add text to that effect. As written, it's wide open to interpretation and interoperability failures. Certainly, someone implementing or buying a client needs to know that the client's meaning of "seconds" will interoperate with the server's meaning of "seconds" or "megabytes" or "ents" or whatever measure is used. As it's easiest to simply count bytes, I would also suggest just counting bytes. With voice activity detection and fax compression it's difficult to examine the size of an audio file or a TIFF file and guess the duration or number of pages. And, as I believe is stated in Greg's -um-issues- I-D, the length (in bytes) is the problem, not the duration (in time) or length (in pages). I agree that the general case of supporting all sorts of media and encodings is much more complicated and (IMHO) is out of the scope of this I-D. If only the new message-context is supposed to be used, it would be clearer if the I-D just talked about message-context.

As for the registration = facitiliy - I=20 think we suggested to consider two options: either to extend the=20 "Message-context" registration with these units, or to extend the=20 'content-type' registration with these units.

As to the mechanism to convert/validate one unit to = another -=20 I agree it is somewhat vague. This is because we assumed it to be an=20 implementation issue and not a protocol definition. 

It directly = impacts=20 interoperability, so it's a protocol issue.

For = example, your I-D=20 says that a server may validate an incoming message's size based on the = server's=20 advertised size.  If the server said it could receive a 30 = second long=20 message, and received a 1Mb audio attachment, I would say the = high-fidelity=20 audio attachment (which was 30 seconds in duration) met the requirement, = but=20 your implementation might have assumed G.729 = compression.

 

 

  For = example, in=20 the case of voice-mail systems, they usually support a limited number = of=20 formats/codecs and then the conversion is more straight forward. 

If it's up = to the client=20 and server, then please add text to that effect.  As written, it's = wide=20 open to interpretation and interoperability failures.  Certainly, = someone=20 implementing or buying a client needs to know that the client's meaning = of=20 "seconds" will interoperate with the server's meaning of "seconds" or=20 "megabytes" or "ents" or whatever measure is used.

I agree that the general case of supporting all = sorts of media=20 and encodings is much more complicated and (IMHO) is out of the scope = of this=20 I-D. 

If only the = new=20 message-context is supposed to be used, it would be clearer if the I-D = just=20 talked about message-context.  I think expunging most of the = occurrences of=20 the string "media" in the I-D would help.

Internet Unified Messaging brings = together the body of work currently

If IMAP-EXT gets rechartered, then = the BOF will coordinate the LEMONADE
requirements with IMAP-EXT.  = Otherwise, this BOF will consider extensions to
IMAP for the purposes of LEMONADE = support.

Ned,

As we discussed in FAX and VPIM at the last IETF meeting, we would like to schedule a BOF to discuss what we had called 'Pink Lemonade'.  We have put a draft charter together below.

Would you please approve this BOF for Yokohama?

We suggest that we only need a one hour slot to kick off this BOF.  We would like to ensure that it does not clash with the following WGs:  VPIM, FAX, IMAPEXT, SIP, SIMPLE, SIPPING, MIDCOM.  Further it would be preferable for the BOF to meet after VPIM & FAX.

Proposed Charter
================
Internet Unified Messaging brings together the body of work currently
chartered in VPIM, IFAX, IMAPEXT, and other IETF work groups.  The goal is
to provide a single infrastructure, mailbox, and set of interfaces for a
user to get, respond to, and manipulate all of their messages from a
collection of clients with varying capabilities, no matter what the media or
source.  Initial work, in the VPIM and FAX WG for example, focused on the
server and network interactions and has resulted in a rich base of Internet
Mail standards to support unified messaging.  Now that this work is stable
in the industry, and with the proliferation of smaller and often mobile
Internet devices, the issues of client access to Internet Mail need to be
addressed.

Given the potentially broad scope of "unified messaging", this BOF will
focus on the following work items:

1.  Enhance message retrieval protocols to satisfy the requirements for
low-latency playback.

2. Extend message deposit and retrieval to satisfy the requirements for
low-bit-rate transports and limited-processing devices, such as mobile
endpoints.

3. Create appropriate message notification protocols to satisfy the need of
reporting the status of different message contexts.


The BOF will coordinate its efforts with the 3GPP TSG T WG2 SWG3 Messaging
<http://www.3gpp.org/TB/T/T2/T2.htm> and other appropriate entities, such as
the W3C Mulitmodal interaction Activity <http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/> and the
Open Mobile Alliance <http://www.openmobilealliance.org/>.

While there is obvious synergy, given the end-of-life of the VPIM and FAX
work groups and the similar membership, the BOF does not expect to
coordinate with those groups.

If IMAP-EXT gets rechartered, then the BOF will coordinate the LEMONADE
requirements with IMAP-EXT.  Otherwise, this BOF will consider extensions to
IMAP for the purposes of LEMONADE support.

I live in Yokohama! But, some FAX WG members do not stay at hotels and go there directly from their home. Dear Japanese FAX WG members: If you take the first train in the morning and cannot go there, please let us know very soon. Regarding FAX WG agenda, I will let you know the next Tuesday, maybe. The issues are mainly confirmation of status of I-Ds that FAX WG finished, TIFF-FX, ESMTP CONNEG, Claudio's I-D, FAX in ENUM and ITU. Please wait.
