This memo defines two extensions to the SMTP service.  The first
service enables a SMTP client and server to negotiate the use of an
alternate DATA command "BDAT" for efficiently sending large MIME
messages.  The second extension takes advantage of the BDAT command to
permit the negotiated sending of unencoded binary data.  This RFC is a
product of the Mail Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet
community.  This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any
