A domain is a public IP Class or Address assigned by a registrar to an
individual or company. Sending domain is the IP Class or Address that sent the
message. Receiving domain is the IP Class or Address that is considering
accepting the message. Very straight forward as I can receive a message without
the intervention of a mail system. We are discussing how to assure mail is
being tagged by the sending domain to clearly identify who is responsible for
sending the message. Mail Systems are not really part of the discussion at any
point. This is transportation identification. Lets leave the wording as is.

seconded and extended: the term "domain" has been used with fuzzy meaning
in various anti-spam proposals in the past. Since DNS in part of the
solution it should be made clear what "known domains" mean, i.e. whether
"domains" is meant to be "domain names" or not and if so, what domain
names.
