This memo defines an extension to the SMTP submission protocol for a
client to indicate a future time for the message to be released for
delivery.  This extension permits a client to use server-based
storage for a message that should be held in queue until an
appointed time in the future.  This is useful for clients which do
not have local storage or are otherwise unable to release a message
for delivery at an appointed time.  [STANDARDS TRACK]
