That change in language should help, yes. The distinction between 'email address' and 'email domain name' is often lost. Language to emphasize the distinction is probably a good idea for the document. The fact that i= is defined to identify a user, rather than a mailbox, and that the difference is not clear to folks, but that it can be quite large, is also proving to be a consistent point of confusion. For example it can (and sometimes does) contain non-mailbox information. This is what John was observing a few notes back. I'm not sure there is an opportunity to clarify it, in this doc, but it might be worth considering. I'm sufficiently not sure that I don't even have language to suggest. Sorry. Perhaps some text that notes that i= MAY match the From: address but that it is not required to, even when i= is in the syntax of an email address? d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
