A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : SMTP Name Path Registration
Author(s) : D. Otis
Filename : draft-otis-smtp-name-path-00.txt
Pages : 9

This document describes a safe means to register delivery paths used
by a domain's messages. Message handling might be negatively
affected without an apparent relationship between the sending system
and the various email related source domains contain within either
the message envelope or the message itself. Name based associations
can be achieved within a single DNS transaction. The alternative has
been to assemble a list of IP addresses for all systems employed to
send messages for a domain. The IP address list approach may require
hundreds of DNS transactions that endanger the network. The safer
name based method accommodates an unlimited number of sending
systems, without the overhead and size issues created by a list of IP
addresses.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-otis-smtp-name-path-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.
