That brings us back to the problem that "free routing" is apparently insecure. OTOH, there are large expectations from RIRs and network providers, about security and policy routing, especially on port 25. On closer inspection, though, those chaps don't seem to be eager to play net-cops. Should we go for secure routing, now that we have secure DNS? _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
