Hi,
I just joined the list and I'm happy to see this working group.
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the next IETF.
Will there be a webcast or something like that?
I've just released another draft,
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-danisch-scaf-00.txt
which is about the generalization of RMX and similar proposals to
other network services and directory services.
I do understand that this working group is intended to focus on
Mail and DNS (as it's name says), but such a mechanism is quite
powerful and should not be limited to E-Mail only. Services like
Chat and News do have a Spam problem as well. Don't lock them out from
a solution.
I do not ask you to give up focussing on Mail. That's important to get
good results soon. All I ask you is to keep the idea silently in mind
and when the search path in DNS space is to be defined just have a
path element included specifying that this information is for
Mail sender information only, and that similar information for
other services could be stored in the very same way and used with the
very same software by replacing this particular element with a
different one.
(Just a correction for Yakov's list for the BOF:
RMX was first published in Dec 02. It is derived from
my security research in 1992-98 at the European Institute for
System Security and my work as a Security Consultant since 1998).
