Um, you really don't want to hear my analysis on that. Really. Rather I suggest you make your own judgement. That being said, there appear to be two camps at odds with each other: CSV: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-csv-dna-01.txt http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-csv-csa-01.txt http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-csv-intro-01.txt Sender ID: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-core-02.txt http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-protocol-00.txt http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-rationale-00.txt And an extension to SMTP for both: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marid-submitter-02.txt The Sender ID drafts are a compromise between SPF and Microsoft's Caller ID. The CSV drafts are an anti-Microsoft response. Submitter is a way to get some of the information these designs need during the actual SMTP connection, allowing a server to refuse mail before having to receive it. I would say, try to implement one or the other, and see how it behaves. Then get back to the authors or the MARID working group mailing list and tell them what happened. These guys need the feedback and they're too busy bickering over semantics to do any testing thesmelves. Only submitter needs Klint's work, and the others should be implementable as mfilter plugins. And before you ask, I'm too busy trying to scrape out a living to do this for free anymore. -- PGP key (0x0AFA039E): <http://www.pan-am.ca/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sometimes it's hard to tell where the game ends and where reality bites, er, begins. <http://vmyths.com/resource.cfm?id=50&page=1> This is the discussion list for the IMS Free email server software.
