4409 to STD

2006-09-12 04:22:46

Hi, how about moving RFC 4409 to STD ?  Chapter 8.1 has to be
updated, at the moment it says:

| The MSA MAY add or replace the 'Sender' field, if the
| identity of the sender is known and this is not given
| in the 'From' field.

| The MSA MUST ensure that any address it places in a 'Sender'
| field is in fact a valid mail address.

Proposal:

: The MSA MAY add or replace the 'Sender' or 'Resent-Sender'
: field, if the identity of the sender is known and this is
: not given in the 'From' field.

: For a mail without 'Resent-From' field the MSA adds or
: replaces a 'Sender' field to reflect the known identity.

: For a mail with one 'Resent-From' field the MSA adds or
: replaces a 'Resent-Sender' field, if the 'Resent-From'
: field does not already reflect the known identity.

: For a mail with two or more 'Resent-From' fields the MSA
: verifies that the first (top-down) 'Resent-From' field
: reflects the known identity.  Where that's not the case
: it replaces the first 'Resent-Sender' field before the
: second 'Resent-From' field, if that exists.  Otherwise
: it adds a 'Resent-Sender' field reflecting the known
: identity before the first 'Resent-From' field.

: For a mail with 'Resent-Sender' field but no 'Resent-From'
: field the MSA MUST reject the syntactically invalid mail.

: The MSA MUST ensure that any address it places in a 'Sender'
: or 'Resent-Sender' field is in fact a valid mail address.

: Sites SHOULD NOT implement this option without the prior
: consent of affected users, and SHOULD reject mails from
: users affected by this option, if those users might not
: know that the local policy was changed to support it.

: For sites enforcing submission rights (6.1) this is less
: critical, if the added or replaced address in the 'Sender'
: or 'Resent-Sender' field reflects the MAIL FROM address.
