Okay. Gasoline, fire, etc. Article: Antispam proposals advance http://news.com.com/Antispam+proposals+advance/2100-1032_3-5768498.html IESG announcements: Document Action: 'Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Domains in E-MAIL, version 1' to Experimental RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/recent_announcement.cgi?command=show_detail&ballot_id=1599 Document Action: 'SMTP Service Extension for Indicating the Responsible Submitter of an E-mail Message' to Experimental RFC https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/recent_announcement.cgi?command=show_detail&ballot_id=1573 Most appropriate comment (from the IESG): "While many proposals for domain-based authorization have been under consideration, no consensus has yet been reached concerning a single technical approach," the IESG said in a statement. "The IESG does not endorse either of the two mechanisms documented in the experimental RFCs--their publication is intended to encourage further discussion and experimentation in order to gain experience that can be used to write future standards in this space." - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
