We follow the general convention in this document that references to Internet RFCs (Requests For Comment) such as RFC821 and RFC822 mean "the latest revision of the standard", unless otherwise specifically noted.  Thus, if we mention RFC821, unless we state that we are talking about RFC821 specifically, we mean that you should reference the latest revision, which is currently RFC5321.  Similarly, if we mention RFC822 without saying we mean that specific document, you may reference RFC5322, the current standard.
