[comp.mail.sendmail] Paper on DNS with SMTP

brad@sics.se (Brad Smith) (07/18/90)

Hello,

I vaguely remember seeing mention of a paper discussing/explaining the
subtleties of the interaction between the DNS (Domain Naming System...
named) and SMTP.  I thought it might have been an RFC, but no such RFC
exists.  Does anyone know of such a paper and where I might find it?

Thanks in advance,

Brad Smith

It's probably an RFC after all.  Try either RFC974, "Mail Routing and
the Domain System," or RFC1123, "Requirements for Internet Hosts --
Application and Support."
