Dear all,
Looking through this thread I don=E2=80=99t see any obvious conclusion or co=
nsensus.

Possible options to move forward:

1) Postpone this ticket till later (after rfc5321bis/rfc5322bis are done), a=
s suggestions to alter existing IANA Header Fields registry is not going to b=
e feasible as is, as needs coordination with other users of the Header Field=
s registry. I think this will take months. It might be worth doing eventuall=
y, but I don=E2=80=99t have enough patience to drive this at the moment. (Th=
is option might end up being =E2=80=9Cno change=E2=80=9D.)

2) Carry on and try to produce some example entries under the latest proposa=
l (see below). Hopefully this will clarify the intent.

3) Scale down the proposal to only register trace header fields. Information=
 about MSA/MTA/MDA would probably go, but can be added as a comment.

Anybody would like to speak in favour options #2 or #3?

Best Regards,
Alexey

> Dear all,

> Looking through this thread I don’t see any obvious conclusion or consensus.

I disagree with this assessment. I think there's consensus that creating a
separate header field registry just to document this piece of information is a
bad idea. I also predict that if you ask the question directly, there's a
consensus that this doesn't belong in RFC 5321bis.

I don't think there's a consensus on anything else.

This leaves us with three paths forward:

(1) Abandon the idea of gathering this information somewhere entirely.

(2) Recast the idea as an optional additional information item to be
    gathered as part of registering header fields. Note that this can be
    presented as a separate table on the web page if having an email-specific
    column in the current table is deemed to be too confusing.

(3) Your (3).

Your (3) actually brings up an additional point - it's arguably more
important to note whether or not a given field is a trace field in the 
registry than it is to document where it's supposed to be inserted. Right
now tracking down all the trace fields is a real PITA.

The new subregistry would show whether a header field can be added by a "message submission", “relay”, “delivery” system or some combination of them.

Right, I offered my choice (1) as your #2, possibly falling back to your=

Right. I am happy to see if we can get consensus around (3), irrespectiv=
e of which document includes it. After that we can decide on the documen=
t.

Dear WG participants,
Based on our recent struggles to agree on a more generic IANA registry f=
or header fields added by MSAs/MTAs/MDAs, I propose the following altern=
ative. The new proposal is to create a registry of trace header fields o=
nly.

Proposed text (document to include it is TBD):

IANA is requested to create a new registry for trace header fields [rfc5=
322bis]. Header fields appearing in this registry SHOULD also be registe=
red in <https://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/message-headers=
.xhtml> (whether they are registered as Permanent Message Header Field N=
ames or as Provisional Message Header Field Names). The registration tem=
plate has the following fields:

1) Name of the trace header field

2) Optional reference field that points to one or more document describi=
ng the header field.

3) Optional comment

Registration policy for this new subregistry is =E2=80=9CExpert Review=E2=
=80=9D. Designated Experts should only check correctness of the informat=
ion in the registration template without passing any judgement on usuabi=
lity of a specific trace header field being registered.

Updates to existing entries undergo the same process as registration of =
new trace header fields.

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Does this look agreeable to people?


Best Regards,
Alexey

You know the selection/criteria of "Expert Review" will be controversial 
I am sure...

However, speaking of 'trace' fields, I do think that some resources be 
included on this topic, to get it in RFC, NOT to add non-trace headers 
in 'trace order'..

Couldn't help but look at the headers of the email you just sent.. 
(comments welcome)

** Why are DKIM headers added in the middle of the trace headers?

X-Mailbox-Line: From emailcore-bounces@ietf.org  Thu Aug  5 09:47:54 2021

** Why/What is this line, and in the middle of trace headers. Should it 
not be inserted end of headers? Or at least after trace headers?

Trace Headers maybe should be more explicitly discussed, as being at the 
top of the email, and no other headers that are NOT trace headers should 
be inserted at the top of the message.

Were they added in the middle? Or were the prepended and then other
systems prepended their own trace headers? I strongly suspect the
latter and I think this is the right thing to do.

It looks like the line that the mbox mailbox format uses to signal the
start of a new mail. Presumably the mailing list software gets the mail
including this start line and preserves it as an X header.

No, definitely not. Please always, always, always prepend new headers.
Never append them. If some headers are appended and some prepended, it
is impossible to tell which headers were added by which system. If
headers are always prepended, it is trivial:

| Some: headers here
| Received: from B by C
| More; headers here
| Received: from A by B
| Even: more headers here

All the headers between "Received: from B by C" and "Received: from A by
B" were added by system B.

Sounds good to me.

My inclination is to update RFC 3864 and add "mail trace" as a value in the Protocol column
of the existing Message Headers registry.

I'd still rather update the existing registry to add "mail trace" as a protocol value.

Just for clarity and precision, what are the pointers to:

1. A technical definition of 'trace' header field, that distinguishes 
one, unamiguously, from other header fields?

2. A specification of the creation/handling/disposition differences for 
trace header fields, distinguishing them from other header fields?

3.6.7:

There are details about specific fields.  The only text describing the 
class of fields is:

>> The trace fields document actions taken as a message moves through the transport system.


Ticket 7:

Ned -
>>  Going back to RFC 822, we have this definition:
>> 
>>     Trace information is used to provide an audit trail of mes-

The Ticket then documents an extended discussion that does not seem to 
converge, especially with regard to my two questions.




So the apparent answers to my two questions are No and No.

In practical terms, this reduces to:

      "A trace field is anything we declare a trace field.  There are no 
inherent or common technical characteristics or semantics."

I offer a different view:

"Any field added after initial submission is a trace field."

I agree with the second sentence.

Here's the thing:

Recently, there was an extended group focus on debating that a new 
proposed field had to be labeled a trace field.

If there are no common syntactic or semantic characteristics to such a 
field, then was is the functional benefit in assigning the label of 
'trace' to it?

I don't.  A lot of delivery agents add stuff related to spam and malware filtering
with names like X-Spam-Status.  I wouldn't call them trace fields.

In practice, I think most of us agree which headers are trace headers even if we have
trouble writing down what the Platonian ideal of a trace header is.

R's.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Revision of core Email specifications WG of the IETF.

        Title           : Applicability Statement for IETF Core Email Protocols
        Authors         : John C Klensin
                          Kenneth Murchison
                          E Sam
	Filename        : draft-ietf-emailcore-as-03.txt
	Pages           : 9
	Date            : 2021-08-06

Abstract:
   Electronic mail is one of the oldest Internet applications that is
   still in very active use.  While the basic protocols and formats for
   mail transport and message formats have evolved slowly over the
   years, events and thinking in more recent years have supplemented
   those core protocols with additional features and suggestions for
   their use.  This Applicability Statement describes the relationship
   among many of those protocols and provides guidance and makes
   recommendations for the use of features of the core protocols.

So a trace field is whatever a group of folk decide to call a trace 
field.  It has no consistent, defineable characteristics.

Which goes to the point that the label is arbitrary and carries no clear 
semantics or syntax.

Which means that vigorous concern for whether a field is labeled as a 
trace field has no operational benefit.

There most definitely are common semantics. A trace field is used to record
information about the current message tranfer operation, and as such is not a
normal MUA->MUA communication field. Among other things, this means that MUAs
shouldn't be generating them, and even more importantly, should not be
re-introducing them when copy stuff from an existing message to a new one. And
since there are some very badly written MUAs out there, submission servers
would to well to take note of any trace fields an MUA seeks to introduce.

Another one: Since MUAs aren't supposed to be generating them, they should
never contain message content. This means auditing systems barred from storing
message content can record them.

The common security considerations are also significant. Trace fields can
expose internal details about how the MHS is structured within an ADMD, and as
such may require special processing by security gateways. The issues with
Received: are well known, but Delivered-to: specifically can expose details of
the mailing list expansion process, which can include internal sublist
expansion points, use of which can bypass access checks and content scanning.
(Yes, the use of sublists is security by obscurity, but that doesn't mean it's
not done.)

This is one thing X.400 got right: Trace fields are part of the message
envelope, not something that's conflated with message content. In fact X.400
goes so far as to distinguish between internal and external trace information.
Internal trace information is supposed to be removed when a message leaves an
ADMD. (The way they separated things has some issues, but that's hardly
surprising given when all this was designed.)

Delivered-to: definitely qualifies as a trace field, and should be labeled
as such.

At the risk of poking the hornet's nest, do you mean Delivered-To with an envelope address
or with a loop breaking token, or doesn't it matter?

I can't immediately think of a reason why they wouldn't both be trace headers.

John,

In spite of your confident and repeated claims, you have yet to provide 
any actual evidence that these are different.

But that's over on the SMTP mailing list, so perhaps such matters of 
fact aren't relevant here.

FWIW, I strongly agree with Ned's analysis, including the
comment about X.400 and its layered envelope.  

I also, fwiw, agree with the suggestions (by John Levine and
others) that it would probably create much less short-term, and
perhaps even long-term, confusion if we added "Main trace" or
some such thing to the existing registry rather than create a
new one.  If _we_ don't have strong consensus about what trace
fields are or are not, it is unreasonable to expect that random
people looking for things in registries will know where to look
if we split trace fields out.

Additional comment: I don't want to open this can of worms, much
less start a long discussion or subject Pete and myself to the
actual extra work of making a change, but this and other recent
discussions on the topic make it increasingly clear to me that,
insofar as trace fields are inserted as part of the transport
function, we should have defined their application, syntax, and
semantics in 2821/5321 rather than putting them into 2822/5322
because they are syntactically header fields.  Among other
things, breaking things down that way would have made for an
extremely simple and clear definition, e.g., if a [transit] MTA
(or maybe a gateway) put something in, it is a trace field and,
if not...   Of course, it isn't quite that simple given
intermediate systems that attempt to do validation or
malware-checking and then document their actions, but
5321bis/5322bis don't talk about that, at least so far.

    best,
     john

So, a mailing list should not add any trace information?

So a message that transit a mailing list should have all handling 
information, which was produced in getting the message into that list's 
inbox?  The recommendation is that all handling sequence information 
involving a sequence of delivery/post activities, should be lost?


d/

ps. As for common semantic, I think what you've described is a common 
type of activity in their production and in their handling, but no 
specific semantic associated with it them.

I don't think there is such a requirement in general.

There is a requirement that "trace headers" (whatever they are, apart
=66rom the two explicitely mentioned in RFC 5322) are prepended, and
another for the resent-headers (which also need to be added as a block).

There is language in RFC 5322 which suggests that the trace headers
should form a contiguous block at the start of the mail (which would
mean that any non-trace header should be inserted after the trace
headers, i.e. somewhere in the middle). I think this is a bad idea.

More specifically:

The syntax allows optional-fields and resent-* interspersed between
trace headers but not the other fields defined in the RFC (orig-date,
=66rom, sender, etc.).

But the text in 3.6 says:

| More importantly, the trace header fields and resent header fields
| MUST NOT be reordered, and SHOULD be kept in blocks prepended to the
| message.

which suggests to me that all the trace headers should be kept together
in a single block. It could be read as "1 or more blocks of trace
headers interspersed with 0 or more blocks of resent-headers", too,
which would be more consistent with the grammar. In any case it doesn't
accont for the optional-fields which are also allowed by the grammar.

There is also a sentence in 4.5:

| Also, the interpretation of trace fields and resent fields that do
| not occur in blocks prepended to the message is unspecified as well.

So when is a trace header not "prepended"? If it occurs after an
"X-Spam-Score" header? Or only if it occurs after a "Subject" header?

Quite. Of course one could argue that a mailing list is not a "normal"
MUA, but some kind of hybrid between user agent and MHS agent.

Some mailing lists might do this for privacy reasons. But I don't think
this should be a general requirement, and more importantly, such a
requirement would be contrary to current practice. Most (all?) mailing
lists I have subscribed do NOT discard any headers, certainly not
Received headers.

Also, when I resend a mail using mutt's "bounce" function, all headers
are preserved.

Nothing I said implies that. Mail is delivered to the list processor. That
would generate a Delivered-to:, assuming of course that Delivered-to:'s are
being generated.

The list expands and reintroduces the message to the transport, an operation
which could add whatever trace information the list thinks is appropriate,
although a Delivered-to: field is clearly not something that would be added
at this pint.

This could happen multiple times when sublists are involved.

The majority of list processors receive mail directly from the MDA. There's no
inbox involved. 

And before you say that I'm talking about implementation rather than
architecture, let me remind you that you yourself have agreed that there's a
path from the MDA to the MTA missing from RFC 5598. If that's no longer agreed
to, then we have a very very big problem indeed.

Nope. And again, nothing I said implied that.

Then I suggest you reread what I wrote, because you have clearly have not
understood it.

Prepended is not appended.
You just add the new trace header to the top of the current block of header=
s.

On further reflection, it's actually the case that a mailing list doesn't add
trace information. It may preserve existing trace information (or not), but it
doesn't add it.

A mailing list may also change the content of a message (or not). But that's
not the same as trace information. It's actions may cause trace information to
be added, as described above, but the list itself isn't doing that.

+1, except for some of the fields added after delivery.  Scripting 
tools like Sieve, which allow to modify the header, often offer append 
as an alternative to prepend.

Why not?  The mailing list software makes decisions, possibly spread 
over coordinated agents, based on X-Spam-Status:.  Semantically, it 
looks very similar to Authentication-Results:, which is considered to 
be a trace field, according to RFC 8601.

The description Peter gave upthread is dynamic rather than semantic, 
but it seems to capture the essence:

     Please always, always, always prepend new headers.  Never append
     them. If some headers are appended and some prepended, it is
     impossible to tell which headers were added by which system.  If
     headers are always prepended, it is trivial.

John K. reworded it about like so:

     if a [transit] MTA (or maybe a gateway) put something in, it is a
     trace field and, if not...

Validations, like A-R, as they are integral parts of the transmission 
mechanisms, have to be trace fields as well.

Given this "dynamical" concept, the production in rfc5322bis which 
starts with:

     fields          =   *(trace

can be considered a tautological definition,  saved for the fact that 
post-delivery scripts may subvert that order.


Best
Ale

First, saying "*after* initial submission" is incorrect, because initial
submission itself routinely adds trace fields.

Second, "*anything* after initial submission" is incorrect, because as you say
it includes all kinds of random stuff. An even better example is mailing lists,
which exercise MUA authority and routinely muck around with
From:/To:/Cc:/Subject:.

And when you include submission and exclude stuff done after delivery,
you're left with what's already in RFC 5322bis:

   The trace fields document actions taken as a message moves through
   the transport system.

To be honest I'm not sure what a lot of these fields are, what purpose they
serve, or why they are being added to messages. If the message is undergoing
final delivery, then OK, I can understand why you might want to document what
your spam filter thought. (And note that RFC 5598 specifically allows for MDA
actions that are both inside (hMDA) and outside (rMDA) the MHS.)

But when the message is going right back out to some place that likely
doesn't understand whatever bizarre nonsense usually shows up in these
fields? All it does is bloat up messages - I've seen it double or even
triple the size of many messages - for no good purpose.

And often as not they are appended, not prepended, making it impossible
to determine the context in which the evaluation was made.

Some do, many, if not most, do not. And as I noted above, fields 
used to communicate between the MDA and MUA do not have to be trace
fields.

As such, I fail to see the relevance of any of this. Why are we trying to
divine the intent of someone who took advantage of RFC 5322 extensiblity
and RFC 5598 flexibility to insert X-X-Large-Spam-Mess:?

Hi

There has been a recent and moderately long discussion on
ietf-smtp about the "for" clause and when and how to apply it.
It was spawned by (and from) the discussion there of
draft-crocker-email-deliveredto, but turned into a discussion of
issues that are applicable (and IMO significant) here.  IMO, the
most complete message covering the discussion is one today from
Ned Freed [1].

There seems to be tentative agreement --so far at least among
Ned, Viktor, and myself-- that some work is needed, most likely
in both 5321bis and the A/S.

Issues with FOR have already been called out in 5321bis -- see
G.14 -- but no ticket has been assigned.  I will add a bit of
text there to reflect the discussions of the last few days, but
it is probably time to get a ticket assigned.

best,
   john

p.s. BTW, my apologies for not getting
draft-ietf-emailcore-rfc5321bis-04 posted right after the IETF
meeting as I had expected and promised.  I've been fighting some
vision problems that have seriously slowed my ability to read
and edit and distracted by an unrelated IETF issue as well as
some unrelated things.  The former should stabilize by the end
of next week and I should have a better estimate of when I will
be able to make progress.

You are right, I missed creating ticket for this. I've added <https://trac.ietf.org/trac/emailcore/ticket/55>.
