Hi Terry, No one ever proposed an open-ended user access to DNS or APIs that access the backend, server side files. No, thats a clear security threat. As a design rule of SE thumb, you MUST never give normal and/or unregulated users access to system level operations. That is typically rese

The reliability aspect is realistic to set a high bar. The decision to allow unregulated users to publish to the zones of Hotmail.com/outlook.com/msn.com/live.com/Hotmail.ca/outlook.ca/live.ca... etc. is one that comes with its own security challenges. This now no longer a way to allow indirect

Heuristics for this are quite simple to generate. But it needs verification, confirmation, authorization before it can be automated. That is what makes it a heuristic and doesn't belong in the SMTP transport where this protocol can be implemented if only from a delayed learning concept, i.e. s
