The IP address of our mail server was recently blacklisted by MSN/Hotmail. When I went through their steps for delisting, it was denied based on "reputation". AFAIK, we have not had a spam problem for several months. When we did it was due to a few accounts having been successfully phished.

Yes, I know; I'm on that list. John Smith decided to see if reality matched theory -- always a good thing to do -- and asked here. Btw, it's not just "this time there is some support for it"; AH was downgraded to "MAY" in RFC 4301 in 2005. On Jan 1, 2012, at 8:56 PM, Jack Kohn wrote: > The __

The __exact__ same discussion happening on IPsecME WG right now. http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ipsec/current/msg07346.html It seems there is yet another effort being made to "retire" AH so that we have less # of options to deal with. This time there is some support for it .. Jack On Mon,

John, Unlike AH, ESP in transport mode does not provide integrity and authentication for the entire IP packet. However, in Tunnel Mode, where the entire original IP packet is encapsulated with a new packet header added, ESP protection is afforded to the whole inner IP packet (including the

I'm using AH for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 authentication. For OSPFv3, there is no other option than some kind of IPsec for authentication. I'm also using it for OSPFv2 so I don't have to maintain multiple authentication methods and keys for the different protocols.

It can be used to prevent NAT on an intermediate path, which can be useful under certain circumstances. I have seen it in the wild, both in Internet and private networking contexts. David Barak

(Sigh) Here we go again. AH is a liability and a baggage that we're carrying over our weary shoulders. IMO we should have gotten rid of it long time back. There have been enough emails on multiple forums over this and google is probably your friend here. The only reason(s) we have AH is because (i

Hi, I am trying to see if there are people who use AH specially since RFC 4301 has a MAY for AH and a MUST for ESP-NULL. While operators may not care about a MAY or a MUST in an RFC, but the IETF protocols and vendors do. So all protocols that require IPsec for authentication implicitly have a
