Description:
This subgroup will research and document best practices for spam management.
Goals:
1. Review RFC 2505 - "Anti-Spam Recommendations for SMTP MTAs", and
produce an outline and prototypes of suggested changes.
2. Review RFCs 2635 - "DON'T SPEW A Set of Guidelines for Mass
Unsolicited Mailings and Postings (spam*)"3098 - "How to Advertise
Responsibly Using E-Mail and Newsgroups or - how NOT to $$$$$ MAKE
ENEMIES FAST! $$$$", and either produce an outline of changes with
suggestions, or a recommendation to make the RFCs historical with an
explanation.
3. Research BCPs for other areas including community support, sufficient
interest, prototype documents, and draft charters for IETF WGs. Possible
BCPs include end users, ISPs, blacklists, abuse desk staff, MUAs, MTAs,
etc.
4. At some point transfer documents to the IETF for standardization.
