So that's our plan. The SPF community will pick up the pieces and
define a "Unified SPF" standard.
Very good idea but:
It will work better than any one of the proposals alone, better even
than SPF Classic.
I agree but, in the mean time, SPF Classic is the one being
deployed. Wouldn't it be a good idea to have two related but separate
efforts, one to produce SPF Unified for the future and one to specify
accurately SPF classic ? The current Internet-drafts on spf.pobox.com
are unmaintained and contain many errors. Starting from the last
-protocol draft of MARID, which seems very close from the current SPF
records, would allow an Experimental RFC describing SPF Classic to be
out quite fast.
I suggest also to have a separate mailing list devoted to that
description of SPF classic, with a clear charter, describing the
*current* SPF, without any "improvment", while spf-discuss would
continue to develop SPF Unified.
Opinions, volunteers?
