Hi,

I have been selected as the Operational Directorate (opsdir) reviewer for this Internet-Draft. 

The Operational Directorate reviews all operational and management-related Internet-Drafts to ensure alignment with operational best practices and that adequate operational considerations are covered.

A complete set of _"Guidelines for Considering Operations and Management in IETF Specifications"_ can be found at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-rfc5706bis/.

While these comments are primarily for the Operations and Management Area Directors (Ops ADs), the authors should consider them alongside other feedback received.

## General Operational Comments Alignment with RFC 5706bis 

Provide an overview of the draft’s operational feasibility, readability, and alignment with RFC5706bis guidelines.

This is an applicability statement for Email protocols and as such it
does not define new protocols introducing new operational challenges.
However, it gives guidelines on protocols and their features important
to achieve Email interoperability and thus I recommended that this
document is read by operators of organizations providing email
services. The document is well presented and I have found nothing that
could be improved.
