Keith Moore (born 12 October 1960) is the author and co-author of several IETF RFCs related to the MIME and SMTP protocols for electronic mail, among others:
RFC 1870, defining a mechanism to allow SMTP clients and servers to avoid transferring messages so large that they will be rejected;
RFC 2017, defining a (rarely implemented) means to allow MIME messages to contain attachments whose actual contents are referenced by a URL;
RFC 2047 amended by RFC 2231, defining a mechanism to allow non-ASCII characters to be encoded in text portions of a message header (but not in email addresses);
RFC 3461 obsoleting RFC 1891,
RFC 3463 obsoleting RFC 1893,
RFC 3464 obsoleting RFC 1894, which together define a standard mechanism for reporting of delivery failures or successes in Internet email,
RFC 3834, standards for processes that automatically respond to electronic mail; and
RFC 8314, recommending the use of TLS for email submission and access, and the deprecation of cleartext versions of the protocols used for those purposes.

RFC 2964, Use of HTTP State Management (recommending constraints on the use of "cookies" to address privacy concerns);
