I respectfully disagree with you.

We *were* a special case.  Soon we will not be a special case because ADSP 
will enable all mailbox providers, if they choose, to do for others what 
they have historically done for us.  That's the big win that only ADSP 
could ever enable.

Apparently such an announcement is going to come as a surprise to many of 
you on this list, but it shouldn't.  It's the logical conclusion of the 
ADSP work.

I'm big on concrete examples. So how does your logical conclusion deal with 
these two situations?

  $ host -t txt _adsp._domainkey.paypaI.me
  _adsp._domainkey.paypaI.me descriptive text "dkim=discardable"

  $ host -t txt _adsp._domainkey.paypal.com
  _adsp._domainkey.paypal.com descriptive text "dkim=discardable"


Huh? What does that have to do with anything? John is wrong: ADSP allows 
them to
get rid of the "special case" handling by Y! and G. This is hardly 
controversial.


Could you expand on why you think that?

Michael claims off-list that he has no idea what I'm speaking of.

So, to be more specific, I'm implicitly asking two things.

    1. Should those domains be treated differently by the recipient ISP?

    2. How does ADSP help them make that decision?

There's probably a third followup question if the answer to "2" involves 
maintaining a list of domains, but that can wait.

Cheers,
  Steve
