We still seem to disagree on the use of a separate port for this command.
While doing this on port 25 might be architecturally difficult for some
implementations, it's actually much more straighforward for us than using a
separate port.

I propose a compromise in which both ports 25 and 366 are allowed, with the
provision that support for ATRN on port 25 MUST only be offered if the host
supports a full SMTP service on that port; an ATRN service on port 366 MAY
be the restricted profile of SMTP that you describe.

Also, I think that the fourth paragraph of 3.2.1 could use a bit of
clarification.  Say I issue the command

	ATRN foo.com, bar.org

but I've only got rights to access foo.com.  My understanding of this
paragraph is that the service is to issue a 450 response and send no mail,
even if there is mail queued for foo.com.  However it seems to me that the
paragraph could be interpreted as saying that you don't send mail for
bar.org, but that sending it for foo.com is allowed.  I'd strengthen the
paragraph to say "... the provider MUST NOT send mail for _any_ domains to
the customer...".

Thanks,

Version -04 of the ODMR draft is now at the IETF directories (see
<ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gellens-on-demand-04.txt>).

I believe this version addresses the issues raised with -03.

I'd appreciate it if interested people could let me know if there are
any problems with it.  If not, I plan on asking the ADs to issue a last
call.

Thanks!
