Hi all,

Appendix D1 of rfc7208 mentions DNSWL as a way to mitigate SPF's
reject-on-fail.  The score attributed to the sender by a trusted DNSWL is also
useful after DATA, thence the need to store that value for downstream filters.

However, as an authentication method, a DNSWL TXT response can provide a domain
name, which is possibly aligned with From:.  In that sense, this method might
be of interest for this WG.  Probably not, but I felt compelled to make sure
before trying independent submission.  (Already tried ART.)  The I-D is here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vesely-authmethod-dnswl

Best
Ale
