This thread has a basic flaw: it is predicated on a a particular interpretation of i=, which is undocumented and certainly not standardized. If folks want to have a discussion about filtering based on a validated author identifier or address, they should start with a construct that is standardized to provide that. Currently, there is no such construct. As for any thought that i= could be made into that construct, I think the reasons that are not practical have been explained at length. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net _______________________________________________ NOTE WELL: This list operates according to http://mipassoc.org/dkim/ietf-list-rules.html
