Unwanted Email ('SPAM') is a constantly growing scourge of the
Internet. SPAM takes full advantage of the open system that was
created in the spirit of cooperation that represents the original
underpinnings of the Internet.
Understanding that making airtight mail systems without completely
destroying old software, the authors of this proposal considered the
continued operation of these legacy systems while tightening up the
current standards. This new proposal calls for a new DNS resource
record type and a new standard of operation for organization mail-
exchangers. Using this new resource record along with other standard
DNS resources provides system operators to minimize exploitable inbound
SPAM pathways into their systems.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-laforet-deasey-imxrecords-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.
