Re: IP-based reputation services vs. DNSBL (long)

I hope the charter, unlike the previous one, will require the
development of a protocol for communicating email sender reputation
that can be implemented in email products without known patent
encumbrances that are incompatible with open source software. Email
is simply too important to allow otherwise.

Not to belabor the totally painfully obvious, but DNSBLs are a
protocol for communicating email sender reputation that are
implemented in open source software without patent encumbrances and
have been for a deacade.

What would be the point of yet another WG to reinvent this wheel?

R's,
John
