Title : Email Submission: Access and Accountability
Author(s) : C. Hutzler, et al.
Filename : draft-hutzler-spamops-05.txt
Pages : 14
Date : 2005-10-27
Email has become a popular distribution service for a variety of
socially unacceptable, mass-effect purposes. The most obvious
ones include spam and worms. This note recommends conventions for
the operation of email submission and transport services between
independent operators, such as enterprises and Internet Service
Providers. Its goal is to improve lines of accountability for
controlling abusive uses of the Internet mail service.
Consequently the document offers recommendations for constructive
operational policies between independent operators of email
transmission services.
With the recent advent of email authentication technologies aimed
at providing assurances and traceability between internetworked
networks, the authors recognized that the initial submission of a
message became the weakest link. Consequently, the document offers
recommendations for constructive operational policies for the
first step of email sending, the submission (or posting) of email
into the transmission network. Relaying and delivery entail
policies that occur subsequent to submission and are outside the
scope of this document.
The document seeks BCP status. Comments and discussion of this
document should be addressed to the ietf-smtp@imc.org mailing
list.

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
