The idea came from David Green, and Vixie says it originated from Jim
Miller in 1998.  Vixie had little or nothing to do with it. Why the draft
claims the earliest known work is due to Vixie is unclear.

Elided below is the actual draft, "Repudiating Mail From". The citation
is to the earliest known work (in other words, the earliest place someone
wrote down a solution based on this idea). If you would like to suggest
to the authors of marid-core that Jim Miller ought to be cited as the source
of the idea from which Vixie's work was derived, I'm sure they will consider it.
Paul Vixie should still be cited, of course, as many people worked off of
his formulation of the idea; so should Hadmut Danisch, for the same reason.


The main point to be made, though, is that these are all contributions to
the IETF's collective work on the problem, and should be seen as such.

 I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but I couldn't find a working group that
 is working on dealing with spam, so this is the closest match I could
 find. I know this is in no way related to IPv6 or anything else you guys
 are working on, but it is an idea I had involving the addition of a RR
 type. If this is not the right place to be sending this, any pointers to
 other working groups/forums would be greatly appreciated. And I appreciate
 all of the hard work you guys are doing... My idea is attached (domauth.txt)

In 1998, Jim Miller suggested this. A few weeks ago, I wrote the following. Comments are welcome.
