A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Email Sender's Declaration of Identity
Author(s) : D. MacQuigg
Filename : draft-macquigg-authent-declare-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2005-6-3
A key item that must be standardized to allow interoperation of
different email authentication methods is the ID declaration.
Current authentication methods assume that one or another of the
existing fields in a mail transfer can be used as the Identity to be
verified. Since there is no way to tell which field, if any, the
sender is prepared to authenticate, extra DNS queries must be made,
in the worst-case, testing all possibilities just to find no
authentication is offered at all. This draft proposes a neutral
syntax that can be used by all methods.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-macquigg-authent-declare-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.
