[dmarc-ietf] Indirect Mail Flow Solution Utility Analysis

2015-04-16 Thread Scott Kitterman
I will probably regret this, but since people are throwing around things like Pareto to argue in favor or against specific solution areas, I thought it might be useful to take a step back and look at what might make a solution (or set of solutions) useful to pursue. For indirect mail flows

Scott, what is your summary with all this? We probably should understand optimization concepts such as Pareto Optimality and Query Dissemination. Both are applicable here as well. I've actually have two receivers; one for the mediator and one for the end-users. The problem was that

Dear Terry, Since DMARC assertions cause compliance issues for third-party domains, and since some think customers would be unable to manage a third-party exception list needed for draft-otis-tpa-label, draft-levine-dkim-conditional, draft-kucherawy-dkim-delegate, and rfc6541, one solution would

Rolf kind of said what I'm thinking here: I agree that we need to look at the costs. But are we willing, or not willing, to accept costs that are not zero? Sure, everything has some cost. Something I should have made clearer is the difference between the costs of changes one imposes on one's

I don't have a summary. To the extent I mentioned any specific proposal it was meant to be merely exemplary. The point, is to come up with a framework to discuss solution utility. Because there is a certain breadth of deployment needed for interoperability for some solutions, I don't think

yes, but the problem with cost imposed on third parties is that it is valued different by the one who imposes it on someone else and the one, on which is it imposed. Well, sure. If I can force you to solve my problem, as far as I'm concerned that's a free solution. I hope we agree we want to
