Mark,
Thank you for answering my questions.
One more if I may?
You indicated in response to a question from Frank that the
marid protocol will be set up to allow for checks involving
either SMTP mail from or PRA.
I thought EHELO was included in previous versions. Why has
this been dropped?
Is there any intent, consideration or thought being given
to adding, "want to test for ehelo go here, want to test
for sender from go here, do you like unified, consider
this?"
I ask because some service providers are going to want to
run checks using SPF, Sender ID, CSV and when ready
DomainKeys.
By including these options, it would do a number of things:
* Senders who wish to prepare a policy which meets all
these checks can do so.
* Senders who simply wish to comply with SPF and/or PRA may
do so.
* Receivers who wish to run all these checks may do so.
If we don't put something like this together are we not
trying to force the market place into a straight jacket
when we have no proof that SPF and more particularly PRA
will in fact work on a large scale basis?
Is it not better to put together a design model which
creates sufficient flexibility to allow the market to drive
the ultimate choice based on what works in the real world?
