Title : Email Submission Operations: Access and Accountability Requirements
Author(s) : C. Hutzler, et al.
Filename : draft-hutzler-spamops-08.txt,.pdf

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. To this end
the document offers recommendations for constructive operational
policies between independent operators of email submission and
transmission services.
Email authentication technologies are aimed at providing assurances
and traceability between internetworked networks. In many email
services, the weakest link in the chain of assurances is initial
submission of a message. This document offers recommendations for
constructive operational policies for this 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
