OK. Let's go through an example (not yet implemented) 1. Authorized mail Imagine I am sending you an email. My MTA opens an SMTP connection to your MTA (where the MX of your domain points to). Your MTA sees an SMTP connection from 213.133.101.23. Nothing hapens so far. HELO or EHLO doesn't matter. Now my MTA issues the SMTP command MAIL FROM: <hadmut@danisch.de> and waits for the reply code of your MTA. This is where your MTA performs the RMX lookup: The sender address hadmut@danisch.de has the domain part danisch.de. So the RMX record for danisch.de is queried. danisch.de IN RMX ( relays.rackland.de relays.somecompany.com ) because I might use the relay machines of Rackland and SomeCompany to deliver mail. But I do not want to update my zone table every time Rackland and Somecompany change their IP addresses. So it is the task of Rackland's and SomeCompany's administrations to keep the APL records below up to date. In a second step, the APL records are fetched: relays.rackland.de IN APL ( 213.133.101.23/32 ) relays.somecompany.de IN APL ( ...some addresses ) After the first APL record the check is finished because it positively covers the IP address where the SMTP connection came from. -> your MTA learned that my MTA with that particular IP address was authorized to use danisch.de as a sender domain. 2. Unauthorized mail / Spam Now a second SMTP connection is opened to your MTA, this time from 62.226.51.34. Again, nothing happens so far. Now the sending MTA issues the SMTP command MAIL FROM: <foobar@danisch.de> (which is unauthorized) Now your MTA fetches the RMX and APL records as described above. But these APL records do not cover the IP address 62.226.51.34 -> Now your MTA learned that the message came from an IP address that was not authorized to send -> It's up to you and your local rule set what to do with it, whether to reject, drop, tag, run through a content filter or whatever. Should be enough to understand the basic principle. (For easier reading I simplified the APL syntax a little bit) Hadmut _______________________________________________ Asrg mailing list Asrg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/asrg
