Contradiction in draft-ietf-marid-core-00.txt

2004-06-11 06:52:27

I appreciate the following principle:

 On the other hand, it is not necessary to reach a consensus 
 regarding the actions that various parties take once a message has 
 been determined to be spoofed.  This can be done unilaterally -- one 
 agent might decide to discard a spoofed message while another decides 
 to add a disclaimer. 
   
It separates cleanly the technical engine from the policy. But the I-D
contradicts itself when:

3.   Decision Model 
   
  An SMTP server receiving this result SHOULD accept the message.
   
(Many other similar sentences in this section.)

IMHO, such sentences should be deleted completely or replaced by
something harmless like "A SMTP server can then act on the basis of
this result".
