Description:
This subgroup will research and list problems in the current email
architechture relevant to spam.
Goals:
1. Research into why email allows easier abuse than other messaging
systems, including comparison with other systems.
2. Research into why SMTP is subject to abuse more than other protocols.
3. Research into which related areas need to be addressed, including
viruses, worms, DDOS attacks, etc. This will not involve actual research
into these areas, rather determining whether some of these areas require
attention by the IETF/IRTF and the wider Internet community.
4. Produce a document listing areas in the current email architechture
that faciliate junk email and network abuse, and the impact of each area
on the overall problem
Status:
Currently in formation
Membership:
This subgroup has a closed membership policy, to join contact the ASRG
chairs
Intended Participants:
o IETF and Internet experts knowledgeable in SMTP, DNS and other
relevant protocols
o People knowledgeable in architechtural issues surrounding email and
the Internet, and with experience in deploying, managing and changing
large scale systems
o Security experts, especially knowledgable in securing large scale systems
