How do *you* invalidate it when your ISP (or RIPE) change your IP
out from under you?



In the very same simple way I have changed the MX record for 
danisch.de and the A record for www.danisch.de when a new
IP address was assigned about half a year ago: I took a very
simple text editor, changed the zone file, and that's it.


So your declaration is implicit in and limited to the DNS data
for the domain?

Doesn't this require this to be true for every domain if it is 
to work for yours? (This would be difficult for some systems I'd imagine.)

Or, if you have a separate mechanism for making this kind of declaration,
how is it to be publicised, invalidated etc.

The statement of the world is not an eternal and irrevocable 
statement. As any other policy, certificate, DNS entry or 
whatever, it needs to be updated from time to time. 

Sorry, but I'm a little bit shocked that this is so difficult 
to understand. I thought this was abvious. 

It *seems* obvious.

Don't get me wrong, but I am under the impression that some
people intentionally misunderstand everything in order to 
put through their political opinion.

I hope I understand you, I'm genuinely interested in what kind of
mechanism this might require.


And I am under the impression that this research group was
intentionally poisoned by spamming advocates.


I hope that's not true. Of course the RG may itself be a time-wasting ruse
set up by spammers to waste anti-spammers time. :-)

I'm an administrator on a webmail system with around 100k accounts.
I hate spam. I hate my users complaining.  I need a way to stop
it hurting
