Lotus Domino and RFC

RFC 2505	AntiSpam Recommendations for SMTP MTAs (BCP 30)	Yes
RFC 5321	The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (obsoletes RFC 821 aka STD 10, RFC 974, and RFC 1869, RFC 2821)	Yes

RFC 4952	Overview and Framework for Internationalized Email		This is not a standard - only an informational document
RFC 4954	SMTP Service Extension for Authentication (obsoletes RFC 2554)	Yes
RFC 5068	Email Submission Operations: Access and Accountability Requirements (BCP 134)	Yes	This is not a standard - it is a document describing a set of operational best practices. Domino can be configured to support these practices
