The problem is that (without my encoding) a client can't tell whether the "[email protected]" key it found really is the "[email protected]" it wanted to reach, or whether that is some other mailbox. Yes, any mailbox provider that assigned mailboxes that way would be insane, but not "criminally insane"... :-) So my "@local:" prefix avoids collisions if there are in fact sites where mailboxes are case-sensitive. I am pleased with John Levine's characterization of my proposal: * It's terrible. * We may as well use it. Like passwords for authentication (or democracy as a form of governance), it stinks, but the other options stink more. -- Viktor. _______________________________________________ dane mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dane
