See it this way: the domain owner has to determine which networks the domain users are allowed to send mail from. It's not always about employer/emplyoee. In fact, most of the time it will be ISP/customer.
I see that as stupid and totalitarian.
If I have an Earthlink account, you're saying it's reasonable that:
- I can only send mail with my Earthlink-hosted address through their servers or servers they bless, BUT
- I can only send through their servers if I'm connected to them (and most of their peers will do the same)...
...meaning that I will likely only be able to send mail using any address when I'm on that ISP's pipe...
...an absurd situation.
This is a good objection, agreed. But YASAF doesn't really avoid this. With YASAF, as an employee you may be better off because your employer entrusted you with his domain private key, but as an ISP customer, you can't send mail from "we're blocking port 25" hotels either.
Why not? I'd furnish my clients with *a* domain private key -- especially if their address is in a private domain of theirs that I manage -- and spank them if they misuse it.
Of course. But consider not employer/employee, but ISP/customer. I'm 100% dead sure that less than 1% of ISPs will give their domain private keys away to their customers.
Clearly, it will be much more workable with private domains.
Additionally, any employer giving his domain private key(s) to its employees will have to generate new keys each time any (previously) trusted employee leaves the company.
Of course, but they pretty much need to do that for lots of things now.
