Variations on the idea of using a DNS record to check the legitimacy
of an email address have occurred multiple times. The earliest known
work is [RMX]; others include [SPF} and [CallerID].
The current document borrows heavily from each of the above, and
incorporates many ideas proposed by many members of the MARID working
group.
I am not sure, but I seem to remember Andrew Church published a draft for
MS records that predates RMX.
There was also a proposal by Paul Vixie but I don't know if it was
published.
