Title : Anti-Spam Recommendations II for SMTP MTAs
Author(s) : M. Stout
Filename : draft-stout-antispam-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2003-12-4
This memo gives an implementation recommendation for SMTP [1] MTAs
(Mail Transfer Agents) to make them more capable of reducing the
impact of spam(*).
Although this recommendation is not the 'final solution', if applied
on enough SMTP MTAs on the Internet, the recommendation will force
spammers into the open, where they can be dealt with.
A brief summary of the recommendation is:
o Register all MTAs within DNS
o Verify the combination of sender and sending MTA

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.
Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-stout-antispam-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
