Hello John,
are you willing to share what direction you/IETF are working towards?
What I am really missing is clear statements like SMTP-DANE, SPF, DKIM, DMARC 
are mandatory unless you don´t use SMTP at all. While some public providers 
support these, many German organizations do not.
Just checked my own SMTP server implementation, it replies "214 Don't expect 
help".
Thanks,
Joachim

Betreff: [pfx] The SMTP HELP command

Over in the IETF we're slowly working on updating RFC 5321.

Today's topic is the HELP command. The current spec says that it is mandatory 
to implment it. Most MTAs implement it by returning a fixed string, or 
something close to fixed, e.g., gmail's answer appears to include a code that 
tells you which instance you're talking to.

Unlike every other MTA I've looked at, Postfix doesn't implement it at alll and 
returns an error code. You don't have to tell me that it's not useful, but why 
not? It's in the spec, the work to return the string is trivial.

R's,
John
