What do people think about the following proposed schedule? Dates are
very approximate. We start with the biggest obstacles.
April Educate ISPs to start transitioning users to SMTP AUTH.
May Educate forwarders and web-generated emailers about SRS.
June Antispam vendor "certification". MTA "certification".
("certification" aims to confirm conformance to spec,
using Wayne's excellent cross-implementation test suite.)
July Continue ISP outreach and training re AUTH and SRS.
August Majority of reputable ISPs should publish default "softfail"
with "exists" to see which legit users are not using their
servers.
September Majority of widely-used MTAs should have SPF capability.
October ISPs begin to switch to default "fail".
November ISPs continue to switch to default "fail".
December MTAs start to turn on SPF by default as shipped.
This is roughly in sync with the MARID working group proposed schedule:
March 04 Discuss identities with which MTA authorization
should be associated
April 04 Publish one or more proposals, as I-Ds, specifying the
required semantics used for MTA authorization.
April 04 Working Group last call on which identities will be
used for MTA authorization
May 04 Interim Meeting to determine which semantics proposal
to use.
May 04 Publish one or more syntax proposals, as I-Ds, to meet
required semantics
June 04 Final selection of syntax and document review of
selected proposal
July 04 Working group last call
Aug 04 Submit working group document on MTA Authorization
Record in DNS to PS.
Aug 04 Enter FIN_WAIT
