I have written a few more tickets, so the list is not so empty... 

I was going to enter a few comments on RFC 2821, but I wonder whether we
already have some WG dealing with SMTP. There are basically three issue: the
"transport in clear text" issues, the "ease of spoofing" issue, and the "too
much information" issue. I assume that the transport issues are addressed by
the current TLS effort. I don't know whether anyone is working on the "ease
of spoofing" issue, which is known to be abused for "spear phishing" and
other fun exercises. And I also don't know whether anyone is looking at
information minimization, e.g. not carrying the "private" IP address of a
user in the Received list, or not exposing a full list of message recipients
to all relays.
