Internet Mail Standard
Return to Email Standards, Email, Internet Standards
Internet e-mail functions through the use of Internet Standards. Although many more standards actually apply to e-mail, virtually all mail servers and e-mail clients support at least the following basic set:
- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - SMTP (or IETF RFC 5321) specifies the email protocol by which e-mail is transmitted
- IETF RFC 5322 specifies the basic format for e-mail
- MIME supplements the e-mail formatting rules to allow non-English text in both e-mail headers and e-mail bodies, and defines a mechanism for including non-textual e-mail attachments in e-mail bodies
