The IESG has approved the following document: - 'An Extensible Format for Email Feedback Reports ' <draft-ietf-marf-base-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Messaging Abuse Reporting Format Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alexey Melnikov and Peter Saint-Andre. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-marf-base-06.txt Technical Summary This document defines an extensible format and MIME type that may be used by network operators to report feedback about received email to other parties. This format is intended as a machine-readable replacement for various existing report formats currently used in Internet email. Working Group Summary The majority of development of this specification took place outside of the IETF between 2005 and 2007, resulting in a de facto standard with many large-scale implementations. The recent work within the MARF Working Group has resulted in a more precise document, and has revealed some items for discussion in future documents. Document Quality The Working Group is aware of more than a dozen generators of reports which follow this specification, and hundreds of consumers of those reports. These include most of the largest mailbox providers and email service providers, and many smaller operators. Many of the WG members are also implementors, and many additional implementers who are not currently WG participants have reviewed this document and/or earlier revisions. Personnel J.D. Falk is the Document Shepherd. Alexey Melnikov is the Responsible Area Director.
