DK or IIM makes it clear who is administering the server and this authentication permits reputation assessment. Add an account identifier, and the problem is nailed.
Ah, so you're saying that only the reputation of individual e-mail addresses is worth paying attention to? How do you expect that to scale to billions of messages per day?
Without authenticating an identity, it must not be used in a reputation assessment. Currently this is commonly done by using the remote IP address authenticated through the action of transport. In the name space there are two options, the HELO and a validated signature. DK and IIM are attempting to allow the signature solution to scale. -Doug
