This part of RFC 2181 is a fairly substantial change from RFC 974, which
is interesting because RFC 2181 also says:
Abstract
This document is a self-contained specification of the basic protocol
for the Internet electronic mail transport. It consolidates, updates
and clarifies, but doesn't add new or change existing functionality
of the following:
- the original SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) specification of
RFC 821 [30],
- domain name system requirements and implications for mail
transport from RFC 1035 [22] and RFC 974 [27],
