The problem, here, is that it really is not possible to do "experiments" in the classic sense. First there is the matter of needing to get adoption among multiple independent administrations. Second there is the matter of needing experience in natural environments. This combination means that we can field initial, small mechanisms and see how to enhance them, but we are not likely to get adoption/testing if folks think it is an experiment. However the might adopt and test if they see it as an obviously useful mechanism that will be around for a long time. However this requires a compelling value proposition. So "punting" is probably not the right path. What is more likely to be the right path is standardizing a mechanism for publishing SSP statements, and standardizing 1-3 statements that will get published. Do we have consensus on 1 statement that senders will want to make and receivers will want to know? I suspect we do. After that we are merely haggling over price. So let's settle on the 1, 2 or 3 statements with a sufficiently broad and strong consensus to make it clear that we should standardize them, and be done with it (for now.) The two that I vote for are: 1. I sign everything. If the rfc2822.From field has my domain in it, then I assert that it will be signed by me. If you get a message with my domain in the rfc2822.From field and the message is not signed *by that same domain* then I assert that the message is not valid. You might want to consider handling it accordingly. 2. I send no mail. If the rfc2822.From field contains my domain in it, then I assert that its posting was not authorized. You might want to consider handling it accordingly. Both of these will eliminate cases of classic From-field spoofing. (Of course they will have no effect on bots sending from machines authorized to create those From fields.) d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
