I'm sorry, this is the same document with a reference to PGP in it? Why is that appropriate given this loudly proclaimed scope and not STARTTLS?
Perhaps you missed my earlier notes observing that the document has a long history of trying to cover a wide range of issues that go beyond just specifying SMTP, and that it covers most of those incompletely, at best. This is one of those.
So my return volley is: since its coverage of the realm of privacy and security for email will not be complete, what is the benefit of adding more, while still not being complete?
In oither words: because it does not actually help anyone.
Why are oblique references to DKIM/SPF in this section saying it's bad ok but making them actual references people can follow without esoterica not?
See above.
I just have trouble squaring this email with the actual text in question.
You are not alone. Which is why this simple bis effort has taken years. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net mast:@dcrocker@mastodon.social -- last-call mailing list -- last-call@xxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to last-call-leave@xxxxxxxx
