Doug, I don't see how your problems, other than 1, are in scope for SSP. Can you explain why they are, without recourse to any acronyms and in a sentence or two each? S. Douglas Otis wrote: This explores a range of possible policy and auxiliary records and label scenarios as a general

I'm not sure if this needs pointing out but... Scenario 1: 1) A sends to B with a missing or broken DKIM signature 2) B would like to know whether that is an acceptable state of affairs. And, equally important, A requires a mechanism for advertising to B (and all the other B's) whether

Scenario 3a: 1) A is a popular phishing target and prefers to suffer message rejections for messages that don't carry a valid signature by A (or a designated third party) than to have messages that are unsigned or signed by other parties delivered. 2) C sends message on A's behalf using C's

2) the scenarios themselves should focus on a situation in which a reciever is faced with. The requirements should flow from those scenarios. Don't forget about domain owner's though. They may have requirements as well and it is they whom we must convince that SSP is worth adopting. These

I *think* he was trying to differentiate between: - A says that he signs everything, and, - A says that he signs everything and if A's sig is missing/bad A would like verifiers to drop/kill/whatever the message. I've no idea if that 2nd one ought be a requirement for ssp, but I do see

Doug, Maybe its just late in the evening here, but a mail that starts with a list of 16 new, old, borrowed, and blue, acronyms is not IMO a way to make what you want to say easier to understand. I'll read it again in the morning though, maybe it'll seem worth it then;-) S. Douglas Otis wrote:

I guess I had been making the assumption that an SSP query is only necessary on a verification failure. Some of the conversations seem to suggest that an SSP query will be needed regardless of the success of the verify. Is that the case at all? The uncommon case? The common case? Mark.
