Except that, it doesn't close any "holes", nor does it improve up-stream accountability. Neither open relays nor lack of email authentication are problems that are exploited by spammers. All the BCP does is propogate myths that have never held up to analysis. And somewhat worse, the BCP propogates these myths by assumption, without discussion or analysis that reveals the fallacies of those myths. So, this BCP should be rejected. --Dean -- Av8 Internet Prepared to pay a premium for better service? www.av8.net faster, more reliable, better service 617 344 9000 _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
