In the process of writing a report that I am currently working on, I'm sure I
read somewhere on one of the lists or hundreds of documents that I have read
that someone mentioned a problem with having all these different proposals.
The problem is that the recipient has no way of knowing which sender
authentication scheme that the claimed sender supports if any. Would it be
sensible and viable to have a standard put to be 'suggested' in the most
forceful way to the different developers to include some common lookup
functionality.
ie something along the lines of a single text record in the DNS zone of the
likes of "sender-authentication scheme: X" where X is a published unique
identifier for each technology.
That would solve recipients having to guess or try all the different
technologies until they get a match. If the record doesn't exist then the
client should assume sender authentication is not supported on that domain.
Does that sound sensible?
Regards,
Colin.
