Folks,

I'm not sure whether this fits into SSP or not, since it does not seem to require that a record be published. However...

It seems to me that if a message has a DKIM signature and the signing domain matches the domain in the rfc2821.MailFrom command, then it is safe to generate a bounce message to that address.

By 'safe' I mean that one can be confident that the mail will not go to an unwitting victim of a spoofed address.

Am I missing something?

If the mail is sent by [EMAIL PROTECTED] (or a virus on their machine), with an envelope from address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] out through the DKIM stamping earthlink smarthost and you generate a bounce, that bounce will go to Jane.

Earthlink added the signature. This falls into the same category as would any replay problem. Once again, tpa-ssp helps cope with that issue as well.

Why do you consider this a "replay problem" when there is no replay involved?

Cheers,
  Steve
