You Might Be An Anti-Anti-Spam Kook If:
* proposals not presented on ASRG are "developed behind closed doors"
Actually, I don't think Vernon has a heck of a lot of confidence that
design-by-committee (such as most of IETF, ASRG, ISO, ICANN, etc.)
will come to much good.
Of all the anti-spam systems I saw proposed on ASRG in the first month
or so, the only ones that I hadn't heard of before were
designated-sender systems that used DNSBL type forms (a la DMP and
early SPF), and temp-failing/graylisting. Everything else (including
RMX) were tired rehashes of systems that would never work.
Vernon has implemented and deployed a graylisting add-on to DCC and
did so in a matter of a week or two after he started. "Code talks, BS
walks."
Vernon has dismissed designated sender systems, but not because they
haven't come from ASRG.
Vernon is almost always worth listening to. He is not, however,
someone you should just blindly accept everything he says.
As Morely Dotes said about Vernon:
"It's his technical expertise I admire. And his social skills I
appreciate, because they make me look so much better by
contrast. ;-)"
I think we would benefit greatly if Vernon gave a solid once-over on
the SPF spec and code, even if that meant getting a health does of his
"social skills" also.
