The IETF needs your input about the Spamops document
(The IETF is often criticised for having inadequate efforts concerning operations. Here is your opportunity to take a small step to counteract that.) Folks, This is a request for you action: A draft specification has been submitted to the IETF for standardization as a "Best Current Practices". Information about the document is at: <http://mipassoc.org/spamops/> The document is in the final stages of a public "Last Call" process, during which the IETF's management Steering Group obtains input about interest in the document and hears about possible problems with it. This document did not get developed within the IETF. So there is no record of community interest. Consequently it is particularly important to have active postings from the broad Internet community, expressing their assessment of the document, notably including any plans to implement the specifications. This document is a limited, first-step in specifying voluntary standards for service providers, in their cross-net email operations. Please send your comments to: To: ietf@ietf.org cc: iesg@ietf.org Thanks. d/ --- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking +1.408.246.8253 dcrocker a t ... WE'VE MOVED to: www.bbiw.net
A draft specification has been submitted to the IETF for standardization as a "Best Current Practices".
Information about the document is at:
The name is inaccurate, its not about anti-spam operations, the document is about use and configuration of email submission service on the Internet.
The document is in the final stages of a public "Last Call" process,
Which so far it is failing miserably on the security and other grounds, see http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/index.html archive for last 7 days
during which the IETF's management Steering Group obtains input about interest in the document and hears about possible problems with it.
FYI - It appears security reviewers do not like CRAM-MD5 being promoted by by this draft as way to authenticate SMTP for submission. There are some other problems that have been noted and perhaps NANOG operations people will find something else that would be of interest to hear.
This document did not get developed within the IETF. So there is no record of community interest.
That some document is not developed in IETF, does not mean there is no record of community interest. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net
no. inadequate ops clue and sometimes overly eager/encroaching ops efforts. perhaps this is an example?
and perhaps it isn't. but thanks for such a constructive contribution. d/ --- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking +1.408.246.8253 dcrocker a t ... WE'VE MOVED to: www.bbiw.net
