More apologies for thinking this through slowly, but there may be
another issue with this spec that just occurred to me:

If the QNAME that caused the error message here was
bad.example.com and the response contains
"mailto:[email protected]"; then the client will be kinda
stuck won't it? Is that addressed in the draft?


That won’t be a problem unless the email server is using the same
DNS resolver as the user.

Yes, but it could be. Not sure what'd apply wrt sips: URLs.
And if other schemes are added, who knows.


I can’t think of many scenarios where a mail server would be setup
to use a resolver that performs filtering like this.

I agree this shouldn't be common, but the question is: should
the client do something about it? Perhaps just drop any URI
where the authority part is the QNAME that caused the error?

Cheers,
