c) A "-1" to the idea of altering From: to cope with ADSP; the reason
given:
"This presumes endpoints will understand a DKIM-related From:-altered
message."
I must of missed that point in Daniel's thread. I hadn't realized that
the From would of been conditionally re-written. Today, endpoints (I
take that to mean MUAs), don't seem to have a standard way of dealing
with mailing lists anyway. So I'd say -1 to the reason.
I don't think there's anything conditional about it. The suggestion is to
rewrite From: when the MLM remails its modified content.
It sounds like you're saying that's a good idea. By my count that's three
in favour and two against, and I suspect that's not rough consensus in
either direction, but is probably enough to add some discussion about it
to the draft, unless of course there's objection to even mentioning the
idea.
I think this is worth considering. In discussions with one of the developers
of a major open source MLM, he mentioned to me that they've had feature
requests over the years to alter From due to privacy/spambot harvesting
reasons, so this isn't something that would only serve to mitigate damage due
to ADSP.
