Sorry, but that's nonsense. "accurate" and "important" are terms of
your phantasy, but not of network security and not of RMX.
RMX asks the owner of the domain about a purported relationship to some
other domain, and assumes that is is both accurate and important.
A relationship to some other domains?
That's bullshit. You're confusing everything. Are you stoned?
Does use of RMX mean that the sending MTA has authorized the From field
domain name? Perhaps.
The sending MTA has authorized the From field?
Do you have any clue at all what you are talking about?
But a rogue spammer who owns an MTA is free to list whatever other
domain names it wants in the RMX. So nasty-spammer.com is free to have
an RMX entry for aol.com.
That's pure nonsense. Do you intentionally refuse to understand
even the simplest things?
aol.com will not list that MTA in the aol.com RMX entry. The spammer
does not have any chance to list. MTAs do not "list".
You're talking crap. It's the domain owner who authorizes the MTA (or not).
Several people asked you several times to read the draft. You refuse
to inform yourself what RMX is, but you insist on flooding that
mailing list with nonsense and objections without substance. What is
your intention?
