I don't understand the last part of this sentence? Can you elaborate? Sorry; I reread my comment and it was rather terse. I don't pretend to understand all of the issues (particularly the legal ones in some jurisdictions) but there is apparently concern in some places about policies that suggest that some messages (even spoofed ones) not be delivered.  For that reason, I have been favoring terms that are descriptive of what the originator's domain does rather than terms that suggest some action on the part of the verifier.  I think "Preferences" is in the latter category. Hope this is clearer. -Jim
