As a working group chair - I would refuse an e-mail account that I am not allowed to spam control on my own terms.
Before long these published email addresses would become spam sponges - and completely worthless (or expensive timewise to correctly filter Bill I am training for my first endurance event... and SAVING lives click here to find out more! http://www.teamintraining.org/participant/strahm-163543 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Sprunk Sent: Friday, June 18, 2004 5:29 PM To: Harald Tveit Alvestrand; Dean Anderson Cc: Internet Engineering Task Force Subject: Re: Response to complaint from Dean Anderson (fwd) Thus spake "Harald Tveit Alvestrand" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I have replied that I do not see the merit to your complaint, and have > NOT asked Rob Austein to change his address, have NOT asked ISC to > change their > antispam policies, and have NOT asked SORBS to change ther listings - > having concluded that none of these is the IETF's business. > > (the alternative - declaring that every antispam function of every > system that is used by an IETF participant is a matter for the IETF to > have an opinion on, and possibly work to have changed, every time it > causes a message to bounce or be dropped - is simply not workable.) While I disagree with Dean in general and also with most of his current argument, I think it is a reasonable request that IETF "officials" be given an @ietf.org email alias and that those aliases be published for use in situations such as this. It's probably going too far to require sending mail from those aliases; despite Dean's faults, he's smart enough to use the published alias if he gets a bounce from someone's personal or work address.
