Sender Address Verification: Still a Bad Idea

• Comment posted Mar 01, 2009 7:53 pm PST — by wayne
  There's a famous quote from Upton Sinclair that applies here. Indeed, although in the case of Marc, I think it is not just difficult, but close to impossible.  This has all come down from Marc's recent editing of the wikipedia…

Lawsuits Filed Against ICANN-VeriSign Settlement

  So, is this http://www.cfit.info/ organization the same or different from the http://wadnd.com/ organization that also announced today that they were suing ICANN?

  Brett: What you describe really has little to do with AU vs US, but more to do with being a Tier-1 ISP vs not being a Tier-1 ISP.  The exact same arguments about subsidizing others can be made by anyone…

  Ugh. This article seems to completely confuse the differences between inter-ISP routing policies with DNS root policies.  I went off to Mr Denton's website in hopes of finding a clearer explanation, but instead found a bunch of links to "file://C:/Documents...". …

Maybe the IETF Won't Publish SPF and Sender-ID as Experimental RFCs After All

  Yeah John, maybe I am being a little touchy.  I guess, as your position as the ASRG chair and such, I expect a lot more from you and for you to back up your claims. As far as having numbers…

  Geez John, here you go again.  Lots of unsubstantiated claims against SPF.  You are the chair of the IRTF's Anti-Spam Research Group, why don't you do some research? What I think actually happened was that early in SPF's career, during…

SPF Loses Mindshare

  Matthew: You are right, the relationship between the SPF HELO checking and the SPF MAIL FROM checking is purposely left undefined.  The draft-mengwong-spf-01 of May 2004 gave a recommended way of combinining them.  When trying to standardize existing practices and…

  Matthew: It isn't clear to me all of the differences between your draft and the marid-protocol draft is.  One thing appears to be the restoration of SPF HELO checking. As I think you know, 2821.HELO checking has been a part…

  Suresh: Of the 650k domains in .com that I found publishing SPF records with -all, 303k of them are "v=spf1 -all".  Now, as it happens I am trying to do some analysis of the data I've collected.  If you would…

  John: Many of errors that I saw in the technical report have nothing to do with the testing and such.  I guess some of the claims, such as "Most SPF records today end with ~all." depend on whether you mean…

  This article seems to be mostly speculation.  Well, maybe John knows some inside info about the MAAWG Technical Committee and such, but without publishing those details, this seems to be largely rumors.  I have heard some details about Earthlink and…

Sender-ID Back from the Dead

  About a month ago, I posted the following message to the MARID list: http://www.imc.org/ietf-mxcomp/mail-archive/msg05135.html The war, of course, is not over. The IETF (Ted, and maybe the former co-chairs?), Meng, and MS (Harry, Jim, Bob, et al) appear to have…
