I agree. SSP is good for senders to announce what mail they send
and/or sign. That's the non-controversial part.
The rest I see as false expectations based on false assumptions.
Hi Wietse,
Since there is a cited interest to "start from principles" with the
"less verbose people" to finally solve the problem with "flawed
attempts" before, may I ask what conclusions or benefits can be made
with what you agree with are non-controversial?
In other words, if SSP is good for senders to announce (exposing to the
everyone, including DKIM verifiers):
a) what mail they are sending, and/or
b) what mail they are signing?
then for what purpose is that announcement is required? What usefulness
does it offer to anyone? Why will the verifier need it? Can it be used
for mail dissemination? for confirmation of valid usage? For detection
of fraudulent usage? If so, what level of accuracy is there? If there
are no benefits, then what purpose is the announcement for?
