Can you explain this line of reasoning? I can see that there are
advantages in the management of DNS records when using public keys,
but they certainly don't speak to the issue I raised.
My interpretation of your quote,
"I've talked to some email hosting providers that have a fairly big
hill to climb around the administration of adding another record (its
type doesn't matter). Their issue is that forward DNS is under the
control of another entity and just getting the MX to point to the right
place is headache."
is that you believe that hosters will have a tough time managing
DomainKey-like DNS records. If this is indeed true, MARID must have
been a nightmarish proposal to those folks. IPs change frequently and
sometimes without notice, and can't be shared among different domains.
I didn't follow the MARID discussions -- was there a thread about this?
Does your quote generally summarize the discussion? Was this one of
the primary reasons there wasn't overall consensus in MARID?
