I am developing an application level protocol that will be used by client
programs to communicate with a daemon that manages a dbm database of mail
aliases.  We are planning to distribute the client programs to system
managers around our campus so they can easily manage their aliases and mailing
lists.

I am using RFC 821 (SMTP) as a starting point, but I was wondering if there 
are any other documents which I could take a look at (RFC's or otherwise).
Also, if anyone has any advice or suggestions, I would be happy to hear 
from you.  Email response is fine.

Thanks in advance.
