I read the posts as best I could and found some ambiguity. I strongly believe nomail is important so I may be biased but it did not appear to be cut and dry. In fact, some of the "No nomail" votes said the objective could be accomplished in a different manner.
Since I didn't vote I do not feel I can raise the issue again. But it is clear to me that summarily striking down any discussion of this item as out of scope is not appropriate. Putting it in a box or deferring it may be. But I would ask everyone to listen to the justification for nomail regardless of when/if it is addressed. Many of our assumptions change as design continues and input is received. Would it help the discussion if large deployers of DKIM expressed their opinions on nomail? (Again, they could express their opinions and this item could still be held for later.) pat > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Farrell > Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2007 6:46 AM > To: Stephen Farrell > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ietf-dkim] RE: I think we can punt the hard > stuff as out ofscope. > > > > Stephen Farrell wrote: > > > > Hector, > > > > Tomorrow I'll dig through the archive and find the reference > > for where we agreed that the "nomail" requirement text that was > > previously in the ssp-reqs draft would be excised. > > > > If someone in an earlier TZ wants to do that in the meantime, > > you'll have my thanks, > > No volunteers eh;-) > > So I went back in time and found: > > Issue 1365 [1] included a mention that we could/shoud > delete the "never send mail" item. > > That was raised by Eric on the list [2] in February and > dicussed at length. > > Following that discussion I started a strawpoll [3] that > resulted in a 2:1 ratio [4] in favour of deprecating the > feature in SSP. > > That's all nice and clear so "nomail" is out of scope, as > the WG agreed, even if not overwhelmingly.
