A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the MTA Authorization Records in DNS Working Group
of the IETF.
Title : MTA Authentication Records in DNS
Author(s) : J. Lyon, M. Wong
Filename : draft-ietf-marid-core-02.txt
Pages : 12

Internet mail suffers from the fact that much unwanted mail is sent
using spoofed addresses -- 'spoofed' in this case means the address
is used without the permission of the domain owner. This document
describes the following: mechanisms by which a domain owner can
publish its set of outgoing MTAs, mechanisms by which SMTP servers
can determine what email address is allegedly responsible for most
proximately introducing a message into the Internet mail system, and
whether that introduction is authorized by the owner of the domain
contained in that email address.
The specification is carefully tailored to ensure that the
overwhelming majority of legitimate emailers, remailers and mailing
list operators are already compliant.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-core-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
