The 'stuff' is to be queried, so the mechanism that must be used is a query service. 1. An MTA does not provide a query service, so I do not understand suggesting putting SSP information there. I could make all sorts of guesses about what your admin has in mind, but none are viable. 2. Using http as the query service employs a rather heavy-weight service (tcp, http, html) for what is actually a very simple query. In addition, it implies that those mechanisms are all that are essential, when in fact a reliable query service has substantially more service requirements. (Small example: operative word of reliable means redundant with established means of getting to the alternate copy.) The DNS supplies all that readily. "A web page" does not. 3. What is wrong with putting the information into the DNS? d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
