Customers buying enterprise message systems often ask: Can I track the
messages?  Message tracking is the ability to find out the path that a
particular message has taken through a messaging system and the
current routing status of that message.  This document describes the
Message Tracking Query Protocol that is used in conjunction with
extensions to the ESMTP protocol to provide a complete message
tracking solution for the Internet.

This document is a product of the Message Tracking Protocol Working
Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
