Well, some extremely useful information here. Thank you, I was starting to wonder. Now lets try the other case
"if you are running the parlous operating system that shall not be named for fear of dudgeous lawsuits beware of mails that look like mine that are not, and don't come whining to me because.... wait, you will be too busy pretending to be me" I hear all the time from the gorillas who insist that everyone wants their mail, none of it is ever spam and how dare my users gleefully insist that it is. All DKIM does for me is to get a case of who to kvetch at when I get some real nasty spam and senders policy will assist me in determining that. In no way does accreditation=DKIM Thanks, Bill Oxley -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John L Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 8:57 PM To: DKIM List Subject: [ietf-dkim] The problem with sender policy > John does have business interests in commercial accreditation services, > however I think he in general somehow does not like policy records It's true, I don't, and I've been trying to figure out why not. It finally came to me: senders are not the right people to judge their own importance. When I think of SSP records saying dump mail if it's not signed, I see a bunch of tiny gorillas*, beating their teensy chests and saying in high squeaky voices, "Beware, oh Internet, of the Scourge of Criminals attempting to forge the image of my Inestimable Personage, and do not DARE to be fooled by these Base Mockeries of Communication!" The only reasonable response from everyone else is somewhere between "Huh?" and "Get real." If the ABA or the FDIC published a list of domains used by member banks to send signed transactional mail, I would find that really useful. A list of people who think they are as threatened by forgery as those banks is useless other than for entertainment value. So that's the problem with SSP. Whatever your policy is, unless you're someone I already have reason to be interested in, I don't care.
