RFC 4468: Message Submission BURL Extension

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 5248. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The submission profile of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) provides a standard way for an email client to submit a complete message for delivery. This specification extends the submission profile by adding a new BURL command that can be used to fetch submission data from an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) server. This permits a mail client to inject content from an IMAP server into the SMTP infrastructure without downloading it to the client and uploading it back to the server. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
