The list has been uncharacteristically silent since I submitted an update to the SSP draft 10 days ago, so I thought I'd point out the new draft (draft-ietf-dkim-ssp-01) and a few of the highlights (more complete info on the changes are in section B.1).
The most significant change is a new tag, called "handling", that represents what I called the SSP "Strong" Option in my presentation at IETF 69. As I mentioned at the time, we needed a better word than "strong", and this is what Eric and I came up with. It takes one of two values: "process", the default, means to do what you would normally do with a message that is Suspicious. "block" is a way for a domain to express the preference that messages violating SSP be dealt with more harshly, such as by deleting, bouncing, or rejecting them. Section 5, "Third-party Signatures and Mailing Lists", has been removed since it belongs better in the Overview document(s). Note to overview authors: hint, hint. Most of the other changes in the document, which are numerous, are to tighten up the wording rather than to introduce anything new or different. For example, when user-granularity SSP was in the document, SSP applied to an "entity" which was either a user or a domain. the word "domain" is sufficient, and clearer, now. Comments appreciated as always! -Jim _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
