A new email architecture will have to address all these things explicitly, but the protocols may indeed be usable as is, or with minor changes. The point is that we need to examine the entire architecture first, separate from any protocol details, and get clear and *EXPLICIT* requirements. Then review existing technology/protocols to identify gaps, then fill the gaps, and document how to transition to the new architecture. --Michael Dillon _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
