Hi John, Thanks again for your time. This seems to me more a problem of demand vs. capabilities. If my secondary provider didn't offer a feature that was important to me, say DKIM, I would _have_to_ contact them and request they upgrade stressing its importance to me and my business. If there was no chance of support within a reasonable time-frame I would have no choice but to move. If enough requests were made to support DKIM, it may justify an upgrade to that provider. This is really no different, if there is no demand then support is always optional. Not to pick on DKIM, this could really be anything, DNSSEC, dual-stack support, etc. > > It seems like you are assuming that everyone will eventually support > BULK. > More blind optimism than an assumption :) I would hope at least NPN validation support would be eventually included nearly everywhere but understand even if this should turn out to be true it will likely take many years. > > I see no reason to assume that -- for those of us with small systems, > and who do not want to do generic 6 rDNS (see > draft-ietf-dnsop-isp-ip6rdns) it's just bloat.
