Er, we already have ridiculous transaction overheads for email. Anything that stopped spam would reduce the transaction overheads for legitimate email by up to ten fold. > b) may not qualify any specific IP address for a positive result. I'm not sure what that phrase means. If it means that some lookups result in softfail or neutral results, then that actually doesn't matter much. The passes and the fails still get us useful information. Anything else just puts us back where we were before. > c) Mail From or PRA references do not resolve which domain administered > the MTA or actually sent the message. It doesn't matter. If the domain owner devolves responsibility to the IP address owner, then the mail is effectively from the domain owner, and they can be held responsible for their email. Reputation services, and the law can be applied as appropriate. > d) holds customers of a provider accountable for the provider's > stewardship without any solid evidence of their involvement.

Accountability HAS to lie with domain owners if you want to establish reputation services based on domain names, and most people do want to do that. If the domain owner is found to be feckless, then reputation sanctions should be applied. -- Ian Eiloart IT Services, University of Sussex 01273-873148 x3148 For new support requests, see http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/help/
