Dave,
The page at the url you specified in your attached looks very
good. The only feedback I have regards the heading statement "Open
Relays are banned:" which I think would be better phrased as "Open
Relays should be banned:".
The other titles are either declarative observational statements
about the ASCII art flow diagram (first two) or present a
recommendation (third). As there is no way to globally ban an open
relay, it would be factually wrong. I certainly agree with the
spirit of your statement, however "Open Relays should be banned:" is
probably right, if not "Open Relays must be banned:".
I'm not sure if you want to further modify your page, but if you
think about it, "bot nets" tend to exploit the model presented in the
"Open Relays are banned" section, which is yet another reason why
they should be or must be banned.
Best,

Luckily, we don't need IETF approval, just the folks on this list.
Reminder: We don't need to nail down the definition of every term
for every Actor at every level, and we don't need to worry if our
current terminology will apply to some future discussion. We can
change it later. For now, we are talking about Actors and their
Roles (Agent level, not machine or process level), and we just need
a few words to model the typical Mail Handling Systems that we are
concerned about.
I've posted what I have so far at
http://open-mail.org/MHSmodel.html If there are no better
proposals, and no serious problems with this one, I'll take a
snapshot of that page and post it to the list.
