Thanks John,
So this means that we're not taking on board the various
suggestions in Doug's draft since they didn't garner
any real support. I think that's correct, but just in
case - if there's a whole bunch of folks out there who
agree with Doug's draft so much that they think we
should not progress ADSP - now's your last chance
(in the WG) to say so.
I'm not interested in Doug's concerns. I don't think we
should progress ADSP, though, because the problem it's
intended to solve was never defined.
Also, if ADSP were deployed it would have no positive
effect on the problem of phishing (the supposed goal) -
and may even make that problem worse.
Yet it will make delivery of legitimate email marginally
less reliable.
It damages legitimate use of email, yet the supposed
benefits that should outweigh that damage are extremely
unlikely to happen in real world deployment. Overall
it's going to be harmful to the global email system.
Cheers,
Steve
It might be no harm if folks who do think ADSP should
go ahead would respond to this saying so. I'm sure that
Doug will (quite reasonably) bring up his concerns again
at IETF LC, so being crystal clear here might be no
harm.
I'll give folks the weekend to check that and for any
new typos then send the publication request to Pasi.
Thanks all,
Stephen.

Title: DKIM Author Domain Signing Practices (ADSP)
Creation_date: 2008-09-19
WG ID: dkim
Number_of_pages: 21
Abstract:
DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) defines a domain-level
authentication framework for email to permit verification of the
source and contents of messages. This document specifies an adjunct
mechanism to aid in assessing messages that do not contain a DKIM
signature for the domain used in the author's address. It defines a
record that can advertise whether a domain signs its outgoing mail,
and how other hosts can access that record.
