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:".
How about "Open Forwarders must be banned". That way we can avoid the
ambiguous term "relay" entirely. I tend to think of a "relay" as a machine,
and the entities we are talking about are Agents.
I've made that change at http://open-mail.org/MHSmodel.html. I will snapshot
that page, and post it in the Mail System Terminology thread. Thanks to all
who contributed, both on and off list.
