Re: Alternative to TXT or new RR

Has this been proposed? I'd support it since it avoids most of the 
problems with the existing approaches.


I've mentioned it once or twice. Noone else has, as far as I know.

Wasn't quite sure whether I was overlooking something obvious or
everyone.

It could still be made extensible if the RR listed the servers and the 
needed test data (MAIL-FROM, From:, Message-ID:, Date:, ...). The 
size of that RR would not be prohibitively large.


I think things like this *have* been proposed elsewhere (asrg?) no ref.
sorry. Also, since reputation services have been suggested as being useful
in anti-spam schemes involving marid, it's been suggested that marid can be
reduced to a noop by supplying the peer-IP, MAIL-FROM duple (and anything
else?) to some service providing reputation and/or authorisation. Well,
actually, here MARID is reduced to (at most) a way of discovering the
service.

All very interesting -  in scope? I dunno.
