There are five DKIM implementations What I was referring to was the fact that DKIM is the fifth specification the IETF has worked on that is intended to sign email. PEM, MOSS, S/MIME, PGP all completed their work, all delivered a spec that achieved the original goals and all produced a reasonably competent first draft a reasonable time after the group started. The security area has never had a big problem delivering a spec that functions as advertised. The problem has been with specs that don't solve the real problems faced by the users. _______________________________________________ ietf-dkim mailing list <http://dkim.org>
