Here's the situation right now.
1) I need to finish the new version of the draft RFC.
Want to run it by me when you've got a draft? Maybe I can be some editorial
help. I've done RFCs and been in an IETF WG.
4) I will send Wietse a new policy daemon that can do the job for Postfix.
5) I need someone to update the Sendmail milter to suit the new draft.
I will try to do (1) and (2) tomorrow. That will open the door to (5).
I need someone to commit now to either update the existing Milter once (2)
is done, or write a new one in C. (I know nothing about Milters.)
I, as it happens, know about milters. I maintain one in Python.
Unfortunately I don't know your spec well enough yet.
We're very near the point where publicity will take on a life of its
own. If we're going to rename SPF to something like OMX (Outbound MX)
now is the time. Does anyone think the project would be materially
served by so doing?
When somebody says SPF I think of sunscreen and Coppertone ads. As a
propagandist, I advise you to change the name. OMX is OK. I have no
favorite candidate.
| Having studied the issues in some depth, I'm willing to lend my name
| and effort to give SPF a boost in much the same way I did for Bayesian
| filtering late in 2001. Think about how to use that.
That is a huge vote of confidence. Thank you.
You earned it by being clueful about secondary effects. Like, not having
a design that requires a central registry.
Before you put SPF on your webpage I want SPF to be fully implementable:
the spec must be finalized and the reference code stable. Let's see
where we are at the end of the week and then we can splash it.
OK.
