Standards-group RFCs generally end up becoming the approved standard. ===== 2) not knowing what current SMTP-related standards are currently in-place now, or how these various details of RFC 7208 work, will the SMTP software that my server has been running for the past 13 years (Post.Office, circa 1999/2001) continue to be able to send and receive mail to external hosts on port 25? Because that's all I really care about. ===== Yes, and if you ignore RFC 7208, you'll get all the forged spam you deserve as well.
