[Tools-discuss] draft and author aliases VS SES

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

Last I checked aliases, like: [e-mail]  were not
DMARC protected.  When I email to them, the From: is not rewritten to deal
with DMARC issues, so it goes out claiming a From: which appears to be IETF
impersonate the original sender.

I don't know how (Amazon) SES works, but I would assume that there is some
kind of IP-address and/or SMTP Authenticated mechanism by which SES accepts
emails from the IETF machines.  Then, in order for SES to protect Amazon from
endless spam attacks, that it then does some authentication of headers to
make sure that we aren't trying to impersonate another sender.

So I think that we can't switch over to SES until we have DMARC-safed all our
aliases, and I understood that was a post-mailman3 switch activity.

{I would keep IETFA alive at the addresses it has, and smarthost everything
there from the new infrastructure.  Maybe a fresh install is in order, but
whatever.  But, just for long enough to do the alias work}
