I was asked to forward this to the list by Eric:
Date: Sun, 13 Apr 2008 10:27:40 -0700 From: Eric Brunner-Williams <ebw@abenaki.wabanaki.net> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 (Macintosh/20080213) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Problems sending mail from .mumble Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Howdy folks,
This isn't as much fun as tracking ships, but at Friday's meeting of ICANN's GNSO Council (think "Hairspray") and ICANN staff on the process for new gTLDs, the issue of file suffixes as proposed strings came up.
Obviously the people who thought of wildcards (Sitefinder) didn't think through the full joy of the consequences.
So this is (yet another) fishing expidition -- as MIME types are a handy list, if any of those strings were present in a header, as in mail-from-foo@bar.MIME-TYPE, would any well-known thingee choke?
Clues on a clue-by-four.
I'll summarize replies off-list (unless requested otherwise) and Thanks in Advance, Eric
