It isn't the internal policy that we're seeking to enforce. It's that, as a result of the fact that the internal policies are set up a particular way, that makes it possible to detect other unauthorized uses of the domain more directly. We may end up "enforcing" (your term, not mine) internal policies in the process, but that's a side effect. -Jim > > > d/ _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
