Re: consensus call on pra/mailfrom deployment and versioning/scope

2004-09-08 08:52:33

Andrew Newton:
It is also the opinion of the co-chairs that many in the working group 
are willing to deploy MAIL FROM checking as specified in 
draft-mengwong-spf.  Therefore, we ask for consideration of the 
following proposal:

The ABNF in -protocol 3.4.1 is (mostly from a post by Wayne)

    version     = "spf2." ver-minor "/" ver-scope *( "," ver-scope )
    ver-minor   = 1*DIGIT
    ver-scope   = "pra" / "mailfrom" / name
    name        = alpha *( alpha / digit / "-" / "_" / "." )

And the following stipulations:

  1) "mailfrom" checking will be defined in a new draft
  2) multiple records are allowed
  3) a scope (e.g. "pra") can only appear in one record of one type for 
validity purposes

The question before the working group: assuming no technical errors 
with the above, is there anybody who vehemently objects with this 
proposal?

draft-mengwong-spf ('mailfrom') changes the return-path, and would
need a companion document that fixes the sender notification problem.
