J.C.,

Just to be clear, I'm assuming you mean by this that you agree RMX would
fix the forgery problem at a technical level, but are not satisfied with
RMX because it gives domain administrators per-message control over their
outgoing mail, rather than per-sender control.  Is that correct?

If this is your opinion, I respect it, but I disagree; I don't feel that
making it technologically impossible for a domain to apply message-level
controls to its outgoing mail is a desirable feature.  This is because if
we are to feel justified in holding domain admins responsible for spam
from their domains, then we owe them the reasonable opportunity to prevent
it.

Nevertheless, even if I disagree with your opinion, I concede that it
deserves to be heard.  If you send me a paragraph or two explaining why
you feel that message-level controls ought to be impossible, I will add it
to the RMX page so that others are made aware of the issue.  Furthermore,
if you can think of a reasonable alternative and provide a link, I'll
include it.

Regards,
Mike
