Greetings, Please don't approve any standard, or proposed standard, for TLS! I am a long-time UNIX systems administrator and recent software developer, of late at Sendmail, Inc., which implements several products that make use of TLS -- including the old standby, sendmail (STARTTLS and SMTPS). It would be terrible, and ridiculous, if sendmail weren't allowed to implement an IETF-approved standard! I hope you will consider rejecting the proposed TLS-authz standard. regards, Jubal Kessler
