Apropos, it could help to note in the Charter that 4408bis shall work
for most valid existing published 4408 policies (syntax and semantics)
"as is".  It could be good if some rarely used features are identified
and "unrecommended" or similar, but it would be bad if many policies
have to be upgraded for 4408bis implementations.

Likewise, ideally 4408 SPF implementations are "automagically" 4408bis
implementations (excluding errata, obviously).  There was some magic
in
this direction in the DKIM Charter wrt Domainkeys, therefore it might
be good to mention "compatibility" explicitly.

And no, of course I intend no "hostile take over" of this work, if folks
don't wish to talk about EAI, or at least not now and here, that's fine
with me.

And yes, there was an attempt to take over "v=spf1" policies some years
ago.  I'm very much in favour of all statements in your proposed Charter
that this will be "out of scope" here.

It already says:

        Changes to the SPF specification will be limited to the correction
        of errors, removal of unused features, addition of any enhancements
        that have already gained widespread support, and addition of
        clarifying language.

I think what I cited above covers backward compatibility, but I have no obj=
ection to actually saying so if there's consensus that it's necessary.

That isn't the hostility to which I was referring.

Commenting on the proposed charter:

    'Finally, the working group will develop the proposed "scope"
     extension found in draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope.

     Specifically out-of-scope for this working group:'

draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope is new work.  As there isn't any 
operational experience for it, I suggest not to limit the scope 
except for discussions about the merits of SPF.

I suggest deleting the following sentences:

    'Finally, the working group will develop the proposed "scope"
     extension found in draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope.'

    'Extensions to SPF other than the one specified above.'

    'MMM YYYY:   A standards track document creating the "scope"
                         extension to the IESG for publication.'

and re-chartering to take on draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope.

The idea of the charter's current language is to prevent rat-holing on any =
of the contentious stuff regarding what parts of SPF are better or what's w=
rong with other mechanisms.  There's clear consensus that we as a community=
 want to move forward with SPF to the exclusion of other things in its fami=
ly, so anything else is a distraction.  We're hoping this language will hel=
p to maintain focus.

The "reasonably warranted based on operational experience" bit further cons=
trains the discussion, limiting any tweaks to SPF such that they have to be=
 based on what we've actually seen in operation rather than anything hypoth=
etical.  "Reasonably", of course, is subjective, and the working group and =
its co-chairs would need to gauge what things are safe to reopen based on t=
hose criteria and what things are also rat-holes.

The extension draft you're talking about doesn't fit into that category, an=
d there's a community that wants to develop and implement it now.  Given th=
at level of extant support for it, I believe it makes sense to allow for it=
 in this first charter as well.  We've called out a single, specific extens=
ion as a candidate for consideration rather than "extensions", which would =
be far too general.

If the re-chartering process is as painless as I've heard it is, then I sup=
pose this is an option.  How do others feel?

I'll volunteer to edit the document that concludes the 
experiments.  I can resurrect an amended version of an expired draft 
as a starting point. I suggest working on 4408bis first to avoid any 
distraction.

I'm still relatively inexperienced in the standards process, so keep that i=
n mind when reading my comments.

I'm treating SPFbis as the effort that will bring a path authorization mech=
anism to internet standards status. We currently have two path authorizatio=
n mechanisms in experimental status. Over the last 6 months it's become evi=
dent (to me) that in the last 5+ years a de facto consensus for the operati=
on of path authorization mechanisms has emerged.

One of SPFbis' efforts will be to publish data detailing current operationa=
l characteristics of SPF & SenderID (the document Dave Crocker mentioned), =
and said data will inform SPFbis. As has been mentioned, it's not terribly =
interesting (to me, anyway) what happens with RFCs 4406 & 4407.

Having now given draft-mehnle-spf-scope a first read, my hope that what it =
essentially proposes (inclusion of some number of RFC5322 headers as authen=
ticatable identities) finds its way into SPFbis, and that doing so is suppo=
rted by operational data. I've seen this to be true anecdotally, but want i=
t out there in published form with data from multiple receivers, senders, e=
tc. included in the analysis.

Murray and I have had some discussion on this prior to starting SPFbis, and=
 the work is already in progress - though my contribution to it won't be re=
ady for some months, since I'm constrained by my current ability to gather =
all the data I want.

So - before we start editing and circulating documents, we should first hav=
e a discussion on what all our thoughts/expectations are.

draft-kitterman-4408bis will obsolete RFC 4408 and according to the 
proposed charter will be published as a Proposed Standard.

Yes.

I prefer not to comment on this during the chartering discussion as 
it might end up being controversial.

Good idea.  I am ok with whatever the consensus is for the "conclusions" draft.

This mailing list has been quiet which is unusual for a fora where 
SPF and Sender-ID is mentioned.  It's better to have the 
above-mentioned discussion after the working group is chartered as 
there will be a WG chair to deal with the controversies.

--nextPart2003367.RdaCWD7RrF
Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: inline

All,

let me introduce the "draft-mehnle-spf(bis)-scope" document.

The document's introduction section should make the intent sufficiently=20
clear, but in very few words:

SPF does not prevent the most relevant types e-mail phishing because it=20
protects only the MAIL FROM identity, which is usually not exposed to the=20
user by MUAs.  Sender ID tried to accomplish this by making the "From"=20
header field subject of the authentication, but made two grave mistakes:=20
(1) it allowed other identities that also aren't exposed to the user=20
=E2=80=94 "Resent-{From,Sender}" =E2=80=94 to take precedence over "From", =
opening up a=20
loophole, and (2) it broke compatibility with existing "v=3Dspf1" policies=
=20
by reusing them in an unexpected context.

The proposed "scope" extension avoids both of these mistakes, allowing=20
domain owners to *opt in* to authentication of their domain in the "From"=20
header field against "v=3Dspf1" policies.

The importance of this extension lies in the need of large e-mail senders=20
and receivers (secret cabal alert! the background will become public in a
few days!) for a path-based mechanism for authenticating the "From" header
field for certain (typically customer communication) types of e-mail=20
domains.  SPF is widely deployed at these large e-mail senders and=20
receivers and lends itself well to the problem =E2=80=94 except for the fac=
t that=20
there is no standards-compliant and compatible way to apply it to the
"From" header field.  This extension seeks to provide it.

I unconsciously submitted the document as

    draft-mehnle-spf-scope

rather than

    draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope

Should I resubmit it under the latter name, which it is also being=20
referred to as by the draft charter?

I agree with the version of the charter that Murray posted on 2011-11-30.

I'm willing to review, and comment on, all documents that this WG=20
produces.

If the "scope" modifier doc ends up being in-scope (haha! sorry!) for this=
=20
WG, I'm willing to act as an editor for it.

I'm willing to act as a co-editor for the main 4408bis document as well,=20
but I'm severely time-constrained, so I will commit to it only if there=20
aren't enough volunteers.  (Whatever it takes, but not a lot more.)

I will update the Mail::SPF Perl library (which I wrote and which has no=20
known deviations from RFC 4408) as necessary as this WG progresses.

Like Scott Kitterman, I'm also willing to work on updating the SPF test=20
suite.

Thanks for the clarifications about the=20

The draft will be renamed once is it is adopted=20
as a working group document.  The name could be changed then.

Folks,

If the working group's initial goal is to develop a standards-track version of 
SPF, then it needs to focus on this task and vigorously avoid activities that 
distract from the goal.

For an existing specification with widespread deployment, the standards effort 
needs the focus to be on stabilizing and refining specification for what is 
already deployed.  It should not simultaneously enhance the functionality 
provided in the specification.

As a consequence the working group charter should not provide for enhancements.

Once the initial standards-track specification is approved, the working group 
can recharter for pursuing enhancements.

We need to align on our definition of "standards track SPF".

def #1: clean up 4408, making deletions or clarifications only (I'm opting =
for brevity over 100% correctness)

def #2: clean up 4408, making whatever modifications are necessary to refle=
ct path authorization as it is done in practice. This implies additions as =
well as the deletions/clarifications in #1.

I'm more attracted to #2 because (from a receiver/webmail provider POV) I n=
eed the standard to enable me to legally test path authorization of the RFC=
5322.From domain, and I feel this gets us there sooner.

I do understand that from an IETF process perspective this may be the wrong=
 way to do it, so in the spirit of "vision over implementation" I'm open to=
 a WG charter that explicitly states #2 or commits us to #1, followed by th=
e work to achieve #2 in whatever manner supported by operational data.

This appears to contradict your earlier [1] sentiments that the proposed ch=
arter, which does include Julian's draft, is satisfactory.  It is, however,=
 the only extension in scope for the initial charter we're discussing; the =
proposed charter proscribes all others.

As I've said before, I don't know how painful or painless a re-chartering c=
an be.  If it's "easy", then I'd be fine with removing it for now.  But sin=
ce it has some momentum behind it, we can possibly save ourselves that step=
 simply by leaving the charter as-is and being diligent about tackling our =
few deliverables in sequence as much as possible.  I'm up for it.

One way to further constrain the charter would be to explicitly
mention "v=spf1" either in the relevant milestone or in the "Changes
to the SPF specification" paragraph.

For the scope document, IMHO it would be better to concentrate on
checking and enforcing rather than extending the syntax.  Some
receivers already check 5322.from either as a further restriction or
inclusively, e.g. http://www.courier-mta.org/courier.html#SPF  By
allowing this point to be managed by domain owners, we limit what
receivers can do.

I also heard of verifiers who assume an MX/24 for domains that have no
SPF record.  Should these uses be documented?

I don't know if this is considered an enhncement or a refinement but
someone from US Cert recently passed the following comment to me
regarding SPF:

"When the RFC is revised for the next version of SPF, would you mind
asking them to include language that specifies what delimiters are
appropriate for use in an SPF record?  I=92ve seen tabs, spaces, cr, lf,
and pipes while scanning some domains."

It would be a clarification, most likely in scope of SPFbis.  However, RFC=
=20
4408 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4408#appendix-A> already specifies=20
this:

    record           =3D version terms *SP
    version          =3D "v=3Dspf1"

    terms            =3D *( 1*SP ( directive / modifier ) )

So terms (mechanisms or modifiers) are separated by one or more SP, which=20
is defined by RFC 4234 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4234#page-14>:

    SP               =3D  %x20

It could be made clearer in 4408bis, of course.

Receivers will always do whatever they want.  A standards document like=20
4408bis, however, must consider compatibility and predictability.

As an analog, RFCs 974/1035 clearly define the semantics of DNS "MX"=20
records, with good reason.  Would you claim this (unduly) limits what=20
users of MX records can do?  Should RFCs 974/1035 be revised to allow=20
frequent abuses of MX records, such as ignoring the MX preference value=20
and submitting mail (spam) only to the MX with the *highest* preference,=20
just so these RFCs don't limit what users of MX records can do?

This is known as "best guess" and is non-standard practice =E2=80=94 probab=
ly not=20
even best practice: <http://www.openspf.net/FAQ/Best_guess_record>

This practice was known when RFC 4408 was developed and there was a strong consensus that it was not appropriate to standardize it.  I can't think of a good reason to consider it differently now.

I think we can manage the prioritization of the work by giving the one
proposed extension a spot on the schedule enough after 4408bis to make
it clear where the priority is.  I think there is enough interest in
both efforts that we can afford some degree of parallelism in the process.

Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on 12/04/2011 02:10 PM, Murray S.
Kucherawy would write:

I use "best guess", and find it very useful, *however* spfbis should
explicitly mention that such results should not be reported as SPF
results in Received-SPF or Authentication-Results headers.  I report
them as x-bestguess= in Received-SPF.

Hi, I'm writing in support of, and to support, this work.  Comments =
in-line..

In my professional life, the fact that SPF is Experimental acts as a =
minor deployment barrier.  Changing this would be most helpful as I =
travel around attempting to get more folks to deploy.

The charter looks just right to me, including Julian's extension.  You =
can take my view with a grain of salt, though, as Julian and I work at =
the same company.

Glad to.

> -          Who is willing to act as document editor(s)?

Can't be me, as I'm limited in time and hope to contribute in a =
different area... see below.

> -          Who is likely to implement (or, since SPF is already out =
there, who is likely to update their implementations to match any =
changes in the specs) and participate in interoperability testing?

I'd like to bring to the Working Group a different resource.  My =
company, Agari - formerly Authentication Metrics - has amassed a =
significant amount of real-world data pertaining to SPF and SenderID -- =
including sources of messages, verification-check results, SPF records, =
the domains under verification.. HELO, MFROM, =
header-From/Sender/Resent-From/Resent-Sender fields, from many different =
sites across the internet.

I'd like to make this data available to answer questions, inform =
discussion, and to help produce the best spec possible.  Some examples: =
How much of Sender-ID-veriified email is checking From: vs Sender: vs =
Resent-From: vs Resent-Sender:?  Categorically, where does the MFROM =
diverge from the header-From.. and how many senders are responsible for =
90%, 50%, 25%, 10 %, etc of this behavior?  What are the most common =
errors found in SPF records?  What happens when SPF records exceed the =
size of a UDP packet?

IMO, good questions directed at real-world data should go a long way in =
helping move SPF out of Experimental.

> -          Who is willing to co-chair a working group?

I can't do a good job at this due to other commitments and a desire to =
participate as a contributor.

Cheers,
=3D- Tim

How about adding an SPF BCP to the milestones?

Hm... I'm not following you.  Do you mean that one would write the
following if ietf.org didn't have an SPF record?

  Received-SPF: pass
    identity=mailfrom;
    envelope-from=spfbis-bounces@ietf.org;
    client-ip=12.22.58.30;
    x-bestguess=a

BTW, the production rule for identity seems to be orphaned, in Section
7.  Cannot connect for www.openspf.org/RFC_4408/Errata ...

What, exactly, would it cover?  That is, what's the scope of the task that 
permits achieving the milestone?  What problem will it solve?

No.  SPF result is none where there is no SPF record:

Received-SPF: None (mail.bmsi.com: 98.139.91.92 is neither permitted nor denied
 	by domain of yahoo.com) client-ip=98.139.91.92;

This note discusses some principles driving my views on the charter's scope and 
for some reason, higher-level constructs seem to require verbosity (for me, at 
least.)

Well, self-contradiction isn't a goal.  If it's happening, it probably reflects 
more thought on the topic...

It's subject to the vagaries of working group charter-writing tension and IESG 
charter-review tension.  I believe that a well-functioning working group that 
has so far been productive, typically has a reasonably easy time.  Unlike 
financial statements, past performance /is/ (usually) taken to be a predictor of 
future performance.

It's clear it has some momentum on this list, as a topic.  That ought to be 
necessary for anything added to the charter, but I'll suggest strongly that it's 
not sufficient...

In case it is not clear, let me stress that nothing I'm posting on the topic of 
the charter has anything to do with my own technical opinions.  I am offering no 
comment on any feature, new or old, in terms of whether I 'like' it. I am solely 
concerned with what process is the most likely to produce a successful document. 
  I measure success in two way.  One is timely production of a document that 
gains standards status.  The second is that the document gains widespread use by 
the community.

The challenge in achieving that success is guessing the right balance of 
specification details to match what the market wants/needs.  In the case of an 
effort like SPFbis, it needs to hit the operational vector that the market has 
/already/ established.  That is, spf already is in use and this working group 
needs align with that reality very carefully. Certainly that sometimes requires 
adding features not in the existing specification, if the market is already 
using those features.  This is an example of that oft-touted and oft-forgotten 
-- yes, both, simultaneously -- documenting existing practice.

Where risk increases dramatically, for something that already has a significant 
installed base, is when the charter claims that the market wants something not 
yet in widespread use.  And to be clear, if it is not already in use /for the 
specific mechanism being discussed/, it does not qualify as being in widespread 
use for this discussion, no matter where else it might be in use; integration to 
a mechanism is inherently risky.

The assessment of the enhancement's need and efficacy might be entirely valid -- 
it might be a really good idea -- but I claim that the simple fact that the 
feature is not yet in widespread use makes adding it to an initial working group 
effort risky.  The principle reason for this is that it does not have objective 
data to dictate the details or the market demand.  It has guesses.  No matter 
how excellent the idea and insightful the guesses, they are still guesses. 
Guesses invite debate and they invite errors.  That's called risk.

In contrast, to justify its content, a document that is based strictly on 
existing practice only has the requirement to /document/ the existing practice; 
it does not have to figure out what will work. The 'risk' is  in observing 
existing practice, not guessing the vector to desired practice.

Assessing existing practice is not automatically trivial.  We have to be careful 
even with that modest requirement.  Assessing "desire" however is always a 
challenge, absent overwhelming market clarity and I am pretty sure we don't have 
that here.

So my strong recommendation is that we defer anything that is not already in 
widespread use, specifically for SPF.  (And for the purposes of the current 
discussion, I believe Sender-ID needs to be treated as independent of SPF.) We 
will have enough challenges in debating what to retain versus was to remove.

Once we have done that and achieved the very notable success of a 
standards-track document, it will be massively easier to pursue an enhancement, IMO.

There's quite some FAQs, approaches, tricks, recommendations, similar
to bestguess.  For example, publishing "v=spf1 -all" for some hosts
that have an A record, use of _spf.example.com and other include/
redirect strategies.  Quite often we'll ask ourselves what to do with
this or that issue, and decide for non-normative, educational text.

Two alternative destinations for such material are an appendix and web
sites like openspf.NET --thanks Scott, I should have recalled that.
While both of them have their own merits, the former is more demanding
on the editor and the resulting document will be somewhat less tight;
the latter is better for ongoing developments than for bottom line
statements made at a definite time.

As for whether to mention it in the charter, and BCP vs informational
rank, I don't know.

All,
as we known, the %{s} and %{l} SPF macros allow to publish records
that include a "tracking exists:" mechanism.  The quoted message below
contains a live example.

RFC 4408 says "it can be useful" (Section 9.1).  However, these
tracking mechanisms don't work well with DNS caches, may be
unavailable for domains that outsource DNS, and may be considered
unfair inasmuch as they force verifiers to also provide feedback.

OTOH, a different kind of mechanism can provide for delivering SPF
failure reports separately from compliant SPF verification.  That
might be easier to both set up and understand.

* Could decoupling feedback from verification gain more adoptions?

* Would it be feasible to consider making tracking mechanisms
  optional and/or deprecated in SPFbis?


TIA for any response.

Possibly for spfv3.  You would have to be more specific on exactly what 
a tracking specific mechanism would do, but having it optional for 
verification purposes (in case a checker wants to opt out of tracking) 
is a great idea.  For spfv3.  This idea should go on the spf-discuss

No.  This is a no brainer.  No functional changes for SPFbis.

Sorry, I thought it was clear which mechanism I alluded to.  Scott is
writing it withing MARF.  I was wandering if and how it would
correlate with SPFbis and Julian's scope.

I think that they are largely independent.  

The exists: trick has been known since 2003 or 2004, but is very rarely used 
because it's complex.  

Including SPF as part of a more general authentication failure feedback 
mechanism (which is what we are doing in MARF) will provide a technically more 
simple mechanism that's common with that used by other related technoglies 
such as DKIM.  

The MARF effort will, however, produce an approach that requires two willing 
parties to work, so it doesn't entirely replace the exists: trick for domains 
interested in using it.

In any case, the features used for the exists: trick are in use, so I don't 
see them being removed as part of the SPFbis effort.

Will it gain more adoptions?  I think so, but I think it targets a slightly 
difference audience than using exists:, so the efforts should proceed 
independently.

There was much discussion about evilness of local macros.  In theory,
a hairy SPF implementation could provide for (optionally) disabling
them.  If we were aware of such an implementation, we could add an
informative paragraph in SPFbis to discourage local macros in favor of
spf-reporting.  That's where I saw the possibility of a connection.

Since neither us nor any implementation we know of wish to treat local
macros differently from what RFC 4408 says, I see no (other) reason to
bundle spf-reporting and SPFbis.

Attempts to elevate SPF to a standards track document just as Carrier 
Grade or Large Scale NATs appear distracts from a greater need to 
provide scalable cryptographic validation for SMTP servers.  SPF 
provides little protection against spoofing since MAILFROM is not seen.  
Efforts to extend SPF to include PRA suffers from similar problems since 
malefactors can use unseen PRA header fields as well.

The macro expansion required for SPF processing risks DDoS threats with 
little justification.  For example, SPF evaluation may require 
subsequent transactions formed by email-address local-parts.  Since most 
spam campaigns already modify source address local-parts, any targeted 
attack against a domain (which may not be present within these messages) 
will not burden malefactor's DNS since SPF records referenced by the 
domain portion of the email address will have been cached.  This permits 
both spamming and DDoS to occur simultaneously that exploits SPF's 
burden placed upon recipient resources.  Use of "exists" macros is 
equally nonsensical.  Any message with an email address pointing to 
existing resource records as dictated by SPF macros reveals absolutely 
nothing about who sent the message!

The 10 mechanism macro limit must include subsequent transactions 
necessary to resolve authorized IP address lists.  Even this seemingly 
low limit can result in significant levels of network amplification 
oweing to processing burdens placed upon recipients.  While email 
providers are unlikely targets, and processing complex SPF macros are 
seldom logged, there would be few clues regarding this attack from a 
victims perspective.  Assumptions that a valid authorization confirms 
the action of a domain is also wrong.  Often these authorizations are 
essential to ensure delivery can be accomplished by various email providers.

Rather than expecting recipients to discern whether an entire sequence 
of email deliveries properly executed the "who's it" handshake and that 
no one is lying all depends upon the last provider in the sequence.  
Recipients should be allowed to either trust the last provider or not, 
where authentication of this last provider represents the only scalable 
solution.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kucherawy-dkim-atps-11 provides a 
"single" transaction method for DKIM signers to authorize all last in 
sequence providers.  There is no reason to muddle with the return path 
for DSNs since this will further lower email integrity.

There are no such efforts.

BTW, you failed to clarify your concerns about the SPFbis WG scope as=20

+1.

I would also add that all of the other points raised are explicitly out of =
scope per the proposed charter.  The discussion then needs to be about whet=
her the scope should change to include them, or whether there's objection t=
o creation of the working group altogether.

Well, a point that does look somewhat obscure is the extension
mechanism itself.  It is necessary to read Julian's draft until the
final paragraph in order to find a NOTE that explicitly states how
extensions work in general.  Recent discussion on dpf-discuss shows
that it is not obvious how (not) supporting an extension may affect
SPF compliance.

It sounds undoubtedly self-appointing of an extension to specify the
extension mechanism itself.  I'd rather have a section about the
possibility of extensions in SPFbis.  However, that apparently
conflicts with the fifth paragraph of the charter, "Changes to the SPF
specification will be limited to..."  In any case, an extension
mechanism is something different from the first of its possible instances.

I'd propose to merge the seventh paragraph into the fifth, for example
like so:

  Changes to the SPF specification will be limited to the correction
  of errors, removal of unused features, addition of any enhancements
  that have already gained widespread support, addition of clarifying
  language, and possibly the addition of an extension mechanism.  The
  extension mechanism will be developed along with the proposed
  "scope" extension found in draft-mehnle-spf-scope, and its
  specification may end up in either document.

(Note the draft's name is different.)

It's not like draft-mehnle-spf-scope creates new extension modifier=20
semantics.  http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4408#section-6 says:

    Unrecognized modifiers MUST be ignored no matter where in a record,
    or how often.  This allows implementations of this document to
    gracefully handle records with modifiers that are defined in other
    specifications.

So extension modifier semantics are already clearly specified in RFC 4408. =
=20
I.e., "If you don't support a non-core modifier, don't worry."

Of course a non-core modifier has to ensure that its semantics remain=20
comaptible with SPF implementations that don't implement it. =20
draft-mehnle-spf-scope takes care of that by explicitly stating that
"v=3Dspf1" records with "scope=3D" modifiers will always be applicable to=20
checks against the helo/mfrom identities in addition to any identities=20
listed in the "scope=3D" modifier.

I don't see an issue here.

> I'd rather have a section about the possibility of extensions in SPFbis.

I have no objections to clarifying the modifier semantics that are already=
=20
defined in RFC 4408.

Yes, that it said.  But not loudly enough if discussion turned on what
2119-language should be able to ram extensions down somewhere.

There are different extension mechanisms that provide for flagging
what extensions are supported or required.  The one for v=spf1 is not
one of those.  It doesn't seem to be worth for domain owners to know
whether a given recipient supports a certain SPF extension, since
currently they even ignore if that recipient supports SPF at all.
Yet, it may be worth to make it known to consumers of the outcome
--both policy rejections and Authentication-Results.  And what about
included records?  What if v3 will want to introduce the possibility
of required extensions?

Suppose someone will conceive an extension that addresses, say, the
display-name or comments in a "From:" field.  Should they reuse the
"scope=" construct?

Failing that, I'd suggest that it be clarified in a prominent section
of your draft, rather than in the last paragraph.

I'm at a loss to understand where all this rhetoric about forced extensions=
 comes from.  A mandatory extension isn't an extension anymore, it becomes =
part of the base protocol, and I think the charter makes it clear that this=
 isn't a goal of the working group.

> There are different extension mechanisms that provide for flagging what

I don't know what a "required extension" is.  If you add something that is =
mandatory for interoperability, you haven't created an extension, you have =
revised the protocol.  That would require a new version of SPF altogether.

That's fine, and probably a good idea, but that doesn't strike me as eviden=
ce of a problem with the charter.

It is not a goal for spfbis.  However, discussions on what is the most
suitable extension syntax so as not to preclude future changes should
not be off-topic.

Something that means "you must support extension X in order to
evaluate Y, if you don't support X then assume Z."

We cannot do that for version 1.  However, version 3 could provide for
a feature that allows new extensions, even mandatory ones, without
requiring a new version of the protocol each time.

The only nit with the charter is that it introduces the concept of SPF
extension, which is totally new AFAIK, /by example/, i.e. producing a
proposed extension and banning any other one, without referring what
an SPF extension actually is.  (Googling for "SPF extension" I found
some SQR Portable Format whose file names end that way.)

This is a totally foreign idea to me.  Can you point me to an existing exam=
ple in any protocol?

Possibly, but do we need to spell out SPFv3 in an SPFbis charter?

Section 6 of RFC4408 creates the extension mechanism by allowing for extens=
ion modifiers (which "scope" is), though it doesn't create an IANA registry=
 for them.  I believe SPFbis intends to fix that.

It's not new at all.  RFC 4408 anticipates such things via it's unknown 
modifier rule.  There have been a number of proposals for such extensions over 
the years.  There is one in progress in the MARF WG at the moment that looks 
likely to be the first one to make it to be an RFC.

The scope of the charter should have recommended changes to better 
mitigate SPF related threats, especially when mechanisms posing greater 
concerns are seldom used.  Potential incompatibilities should be weighed 
against added security.  Even Schlitt's SPF library used reduced limits 
for subsequent mechanism transactions in view of potential network 
amplifications (x300 with 512 byte message restrictions).  As such, 
eliminating the local-part "l" macro component,  the "exists" mechanism, 
and separate limits on no server or no domain errors would better limit 
overall risks.

Handling of email is highly automated where DNS plays an essential 
role.  The volume of DNS traffic makes abuse monitoring difficult both 
from sourcing and mitigation perspectives.  Mitigation incurs greater 
difficulty when a protocol can turn otherwise legitimate resolvers into 
DDoS agents.  Such threats increase with greater DNSsec use.

SPF seems unlikely to soon play an increased role.  Excessive overhead 
is caused by combining all hosts using either IPv4 or IPv6 into 
resolving a common set just to potentially validate authorization of a 
Delivery Status Notification path.  Such validation neither protects 
SMTP servers from abuse, users from spoofing, nor the Internet as a 
whole.  To achieve the desired protections, cryptographic methods to 
authenticate SMTP servers is needed instead.  IMHO, the authorization 
role of SPF can be safely replaced by ATSP.

An extension can certain declare normative behavior... if the extension is in 
force.  And the behavior can actual define modifications or new behaviors to the 
base protocol... if the extension is in force.

Beyond that, +1 to both the distinction between 'extension' vs. change of the 
base, as well as the clear intent to have spfbis avoid any additions to the 
protocol.

I believe that it is not (yet) out of scope to consider /simplifications/ to the 
protocol, by /removing/ features.  But of course, that's a matter for group 
consensus.

+1

I do think it's worth querying folks about specific items to /remove/ from SPF. 
  I think this thread has introduced some possibilities.  I suggest that folks 
who believe something should be removed should post a fresh note about only that 
one item and with its own Subject: line.

Document them.  Get community consensus about the need to 'fix' SPF.

Specify candidate changes to cover them.  Get community consensus that they are 
reasonable fixes or, at least, approaches to fixing the problems.

Then deal with the fact that such changes will be enhancements and therefore 
will slow down standardization of SPF.

Absent the above, you are, as usual, merely repeating the vague concerns that 
you've been expressing in many venues for many months.

Perhaps I've missed the groundswell of community support for your concerns? 
Goodness knows there has been plenty of opportunity for it to be expressed.

Absent that groundswell, this continual posting on the deficiencies of these 
technology looks an awful lot like a denial of service attack.

I'm of the mind to relegate an effort to "better mitigate SPF related =

I think it's only in scope for features that aren't used or to resolve 
demonstrated operational problems.  I don't think it's in scope to remove 
something based on theorizing that features which are in use may be in some 
way harmful.

DKIM/ADSP+ (w/ extensions)  can only help non SPF setups or SPF setups 
with SOFT FAIL results (~ALL), not for HARD FAIL (-ALL) SPF policies. 
  The SPF -ALL policies 100% reduces the effectiveness and need for 
DKIM or its related technologies.  SPF still helps address the legacy 
abuse of NON-DKIM mail abusers and if the Author-Domain is different, 
it doesn't help.

We need to remember the #1 benefit of SPF and DKIM technologies -  you 
can only 100% get with false positives results with your own DOMAINS - 
not others.  So that is the #1 need all SPF and DKIM setups must first 
address in their setups - first protect your own domains.

While:

    SPF HARD FAIL policy is effectively the same as ADSP DISCARDABLE 
policy.
    SPF SOFT FAIL policy is effectively the same as ADSP ALL policy.

In short, you still need both because receivers may support SPF and/or 
ADSP+ or both (or none).

Julian, in IMO, Doug's main point was missed and its one of my 
problems with the proposed charter.

SPF is a not a payload technology and any idea that attempts to 
promote payload processing MUST BE carefully scrutinize for the same 
reasons SENDER-ID had problems.

Any idea that promotes PAYLOAD transfers is going to have a problem 
out of the gate.

Again, don't under estimate this problem and concern with the scope 
extension. Microsoft had to produce the SUBMITTER protocol as a 
compromising solution to pass the PRA to 5321 level only SPF 
processing. IMO, this solves the same problem you are trying to 
address, so I have a problem why this scope= extension is needed if 
SUBMITTER is already available and supported by many SPF receivers.

AGAIN, whatever is consider, you are not sympathetic to the sensitive 
nature of avoiding payload transfers, then the adoption of this scope= 
extension will have a barrier and even even higher if comes with 
semantics that mandate any form of behavior change to preempt the SMTP 
processing and download the payload.

I welcome the IANA registry.

For the charter, I just noted that the term "extension", consistently
with the wording of RFC 4408, does not appear in Julian's draft
(although the short title mentions "extended scopes").  OTOH, I see no
occurrence of the term "modifier" in the charter's text --the version
posted on 30 Nov.  I assume that's something that we can live with...

I don't think that was Doug's main point at all (I'm not sure he had one, but 
I'm pretty sure that this isn't it).

Sender ID tried to do a number of things and did many of them wrong (IMO).

The idea isn't to promote payload transfers, but if you are going to go to 
DATA and eat the payload anyway, is there something useful you can do.  Since 
this is a totally opt-in approach (unlike Sender ID), I don't see an issue.

None of the SPF implementations I'm aware of support it (I'm not saying there 
aren't implementations that do, but that the primary open source 
implementations don't).  Since the extension being proposed for the charter 
doesn't use PRA, I think Submitter is irrelevant.  In the end, Sender 
ID/PRA/Submitter can be trivially made to select an identity other than the 
one the user sees.  The proposed extension tries to do something much narrower 
and I think more likely to be useful.

I don't think anyone is arguing anything different.  Nothing in the proposed 
extension mandates anything about receiver policy (RFC 4408 itself is almost 
void of receiver policy mandates by design).  Receivers will determine if they 
want to accept the payload or not and this extension won't affect that.

Scott, the above is helpful.  It suggests criteria and that's what I think we 
should discuss and agree on.

Determining factual points, such as what is or is not used, can be a challenge, 
but at least the question is about objective points rather than opinions about 
wonderfulness.


My own view of criteria:


1.   Unused

      A feature that has not yet received a significant degree of use should be 
dropped.

      For a feature that creates significant complexity, it is actually 
important to drop it, since complexity invites programming and operations 
errors.  Examples of complexity are recursion, indirection or complicated 
decision-trees.


2.   Problematic

      Features that have established a pattern of causing significant, 
widespread problems for which there are no obvious fixes.


3.   Specification Clarity

      This is /not/ a basis for removing something, unless we find that we 
cannot figure out how to write a clear specification.  Improving specification 
clarity is, in fact, the primary constructive work of this phase in a 
specification's life.


I don't know how Scott's above second sentence relates to the list.  I'm not 
sure what is meant by 'theorizing', but I'll take a guess:  Something has not 
yet established a pattern of causing problems (or benefit) but a static analysis 
points in the direction that it will or should.

My own opinion is that if something is used and has not already demonstrated a 
pattern of being problematic, it is not a reasonable candidate for removal, no 
matter how much some folk might wish to remove it.  The particular basis for 
retention is stability:  we need to make as few changes to the operational base 
as we can reasonably get away with.

SPF Update (spfbis)
-----------------------------------------
Status: Proposed Working Group

Chair(s):
 TBD

 Pete Resnick <presnick@qualcomm.com>
 Peter Saint-Andre <stpeter@stpeter.im>

Description of Working Group:

The Sender Policy Framework (SPF, RFC4408) specifies the publication
of a DNS record which states that a listed IP address is authorized
to send mail on behalf of the listing domain name's owner.  SMTP
servers extract the domain name in the SMTP "MAIL FROM" or "HELO"
command for confirming this authorization.  The protocol has had
Experimental status for some years and has become widely deployed.
This working group will revise the specification, based on deployment
experience and listed errata, and will seek Standards Track status for
the protocol.

The MARID working group created two specifications for publication of
email-sending authorization:  Sender-ID (RFFC4405, RFC4406 and RFC4407)
and SPF (RFC4408), with both having Experimental status.  By using
IP addresses, both protocols specify authorization in terms of path,
though unlike SPF, Sender-ID uses domain names found in the header of
the message rather than the envelope.

The two protocols rely on the same policy publication mechanism,
namely a specific TXT resource record in the DNS.  This creates a basic
ambiguity about the interpretation of any specific instance of the TXT
record.  Because of this, there were concerns about conflicts between
the two in concurrent operation.  The IESG Note added to each invited
an expression of community consensus in the period following these
publications.

Both enjoyed initially large deployments.  Broad SPF use continues,
and its linkage to the envelope -- rather than Sender-ID's linkage
to identifiers in the message content -- has proven sufficient among
operators.  This concludes the experiment.

Changes to the SPF specification will be limited to the correction
of errors, removal of unused features, addition of any enhancements
that have already gained widespread support, and addition of
clarifying language.

The working group will also produce a document describing the
course of the SPF/Sender-ID experiment (defined in the IESG note
on the RFCs in question), bringing that experiment to a formal
conclusion.  No other work on Sender-ID will be done.

Finally, the working group will develop the proposed "scope"
extension found in draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope.

Specifically out-of-scope for this working group:

* Revisiting past technical arguments that were covered
  in the MARID working group, except where review is reasonably
  warranted based on operational experience.

* Discussion of the merits of SPF.

* Discussion of the merits of Sender-ID in preference to SPF.

* Extensions to SPF other than the one specified above.  The
  working group will re-charter to process other specific proposed
  extensions as they are identified.

The initial draft set:
	draft-kitterman-4408bis
	draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope

Goals and Milestones:

MMM YYYY:  A standards track document defining SPF, based on RFC4408 and 
           as amended above, to the IESG for publication.

MMM YYYY:  A document describing the SPF/Sender-ID experiment and its 
           conclusions to the IESG for publication.

MMM YYYY:  A standards track document creating the "scope" extension to 
           the IESG for publication.

Trying to guess or assert what someone else meant is almost never productive. 
In fact, it's often the path down a rathole.

Either they've said things clearly or they haven't.  It's their responsibility 
to offer clear statements and to recruit support for them.

SPF is very widely used.  It has become a critical component in the anti-spam 
toolchest.

It's documentation needs refining and its technical details probably need 
refining.  An open, consensus-based process is needed for making these changes.

The IETF is by far the most reasonable place for this work.

I say the above in spite of not liking SPF and of having frequently criticized 
it quite publicly, due to it's path-based approach and the limitations this 
imposes.

However the reality is that it's wide use mandates having a good spec and the 
demonstrable community consensus around it; and I'm willing to contribute to 
that effort.

Fortunately, for SPF, I think most of the questions around feature use can be 
resolved by examining SPF records published in DNS, so there's no need to 
guess about what people are using.  We do need to keep in mind that sometimes 
a feature might be not used broadly, but very significant for specific use 
cases.  Since there are multiple independent implementations that are 
available for inspection, I think determining if features are problematic to 
implement is a tractable problem.

Fortunately a lot of work around this has been done already.  Based on a 
paragraph by paragraph (and in some cases line by line) review of RFC 4408, 
the people active in SPF development at the time produced a test suite:

http://www.openspf.net/Test_Suite

This is meant to provide data inputs and outputs for protocol compliance.  
Where there were differing opinions about the specified output, they were 
documented and a preferred result defined based on the rough consensus of the 
people doing the work.  This test suite has been used by at least three 
independent SPF library implementations (for Perl, Python, and Java).

Based on that body of work, there is already a good basis for consideration of 
where the specification needs refinement.

Or that some people think it will.  SPF has been in widespread use long enough 
now that I believe that the potential for major operational suprises with the 
current protocol is small.

It's an issue depending on the RFC 2119 language that will be used and 
a new market of people using something that will not be supported 
widely unless there is a strong "recommendation" to support it.

In other words, will people depend on scope= tag usage and prepare 
correct author-domain::ip associations and will ignore correct 
return-path-domain::ip associations?

I say that is exactly what is going to happen and high likelihood of 
experiencing more failures.

We supported SUBMITTER since the beginning and I have years of logs 
that show clients are indeed sending the SUBMITTER= keyword with the 
5321.Mail From command.  In fact, it is so prevalent that we have to 
make sure it recorded and remains persistent in any sort of forwarding 
with additional mail software.

And thats another concern of mine where we begin to decide things 
because if one owns knowledge of what's happening and doesn't reflect 
the total market.  The PRA "Purported Responsible Author" for the most 
part is the AUTHOR-DOMAIN.

I disagree its more narrower because it will only work by pushing a 
PAYLOAD download requirement.  Otherwise it is useless, and that fact 
is very troublesome and material for an appeal.  Opt-in or not, its 
changes the SPF protocol and if you have options like this, it will be 
used and that changes the framework of the protocol unlike what SPF + 
SUBMITTER did.

I disagree. If you put something in the spec that will only work by 
requiring the payload, then that inherently begins to change the 
fundamental framework of SPF.

Many systems will reject at the SMTP level and not allow the DATA 
state to be reached. This extension is proposing to change that and 
thats very troublesome and I don't think this is BIS work.

You will have to use an v=SP3 and if SP3 is stronger in mandating the 
payload download, not because you are not saying it is, but rather it 
is the only purpose to make it work, we now have compliancy issues 
with those that may want to use the clean BIS improvements and ignore 
this scope extension.

At the end of the day,  this is violating the boundary layers and it 
will certainly be problematic and indicating its "opt-in" is not an 
excuse for breaking the SPF protocol fundamentally.

Hmmm.  That's certainly the best place to start.  I'm wondering whether it is 
always definitive?

Often choices are made by default rather than intent, such as copying someone 
else's files.  In addition, there's the small question of whether the 
receive-side pays attention to the usage.  If something is widely used by 
publishers but widely /ignored/ by receivers, what is the justification for 
retaining it?

Right.  And trying to understand market /segments/ can be a challenge.  But it's 
certainly important to try, for the reason you cite.

Ack.  My list was for due-diligence on the question of criteria, not to imply 
anything about SPF particulars (yet...)

The mere passage of time and even the mere fact of widespread use are not 
necessarily definitive proof that there will be no new surprises.  Certainly 
extensive time and use provide a prima facie case, but we should explore any 
concerns that do get raised for plausible dangers.

Anyone believing there are new surprising lurking has the responsibility to make 
their case and make it compelling.  The rest of us have the responsibility to 
consider the concern constructively, rather than be too quick to dismiss the 
concern.

Again, I'm being formally diligent here, not claiming any expectation about SPF.

I support a SPF BIS project effort to codify RFC 4408 but I have a 
fundamental problem with new extension ideas that will fundamentally 
change the SPF protocol from a SMTP level only protocol to a RFC5322 
payload download requirement protocol.  Something that is not required 
in SPF and was specifically design not to have since the MARID days. 
This new protocol introduction violates the boundary layer, increases 
overhead and redundancy concerns and
increases security concerns - all of which was discussed during MARID 
and the reasons why SPF did not have a PAYLOAD requirement.

I'm an advocate for this technology, and believe the IETF where this =
work needs to happen.  SPF is already widely-deployed.

For context, SPF is cited in a 2007 document that prescribes how =
financial institutions can bring security to email:

  http://www.bits.org/
  http://www.bits.org/publications/security/BITSSecureEmailApr2007.pdf

Although it has taken a number of years to become widely deployed, *at a =
minimum* major financial services organizations are looking to build =
upon SPF.  Significant up-tick in adoption shows that the time is right =
to progress SPF:

  https://otalliance.org/news/releases/EmailAuthTPoint.html

Several reasons why this works needs to happen:
- Hesitation to deploy remains in some areas due to the Experimental =
state of the current SPF document.
- A whole lot of operational experience and deployment data has been =
gathered since the SPF and Sender-ID documents were released as =
Experimental.
- Bringing closure to existing Experimental documentation will produce =
documents that will inform future developments.
- Without such closure, the task of focusing development efforts to =
produce systems that take advantage of SPF's capabilities will remain =
unnecessarily hindered.

I support the current charter, enough that I was the primary author of it. =
 I'm also willing to co-chair, edit documents, review documents, or be a ge=
neral participant.  I also echo Dave Crocker's comments that for me this is=
 more about doing The Right Thing with respect to the status of SPF, and no=
t that I'm a particular proponent of it technically.

I also find there is no basis for the concerns about fundamental changes to=
 the SPF protocol.  The charter specifically proscribes these, though it pe=
rmits the eventual creation of extensions, which are, by the very nature of=
 anything called an "extension", optional.

A modifier in SPF terms is an extension in general terms.  So yes, I think =
that mushy language is tolerable at this point.  We can just be careful how=
 they're spelled out in the drafts.

For a real world example, between RFC4871 and RFC6376, DKIM dropped "g=3D" =
from key records.  Observation of signatures received over a long period sh=
owed near-zero use of that feature.

Are there any installations that are collecting the properties of observed =
SPF records that might be able to tally up which modifiers/extensions/whate=

One thing that might be worth clarifying, which has already come up, is the=
 "modifier" vs. "extension" point.  I think it's fine the way it is, but Al=
essandro's pointed out the potential for a mis-read.  We might want to take=
 a run at fixing that, and be careful about naming the proposed IANA Regist=
ry, etc.

This is a fundamentally a problem. One must not have any BIAS and must 
believe in the technology in order to be the WG project leader.  Case 
in point....

Thats exactly the problem.  You wrote the charter, you have a 
documented history on being a vocal SPF opponent. You will have a 
major problem in this WG with people who are long time early adopters 
and implementators of SPF who does not agree which items in the 
proposed charter.  You also have a history of filtering, ignoring, 
water down opposing viewpoints and thus I do not agree you qualify to 
be the chair for this proposed SPF BIG Working Group.

But that is not an excuse to fundamentally change the protocol, 
violating the protocol SMTP level only framework to one that requires 
RFC5322 payload downloads - something that was 100% debates and 
restricted during 2003/2004 MARID working group producing the SPF RFC 
4408 document and reason the RFC4405 SUBMITTER SMTP extension to 
specifically address the AUTHOR-DOMAIN needs this new SPF extension is 
duplicating but without exposing the author-domain, thus requiring a 
payload download requirement.

You MUST have a understanding of MARID discussions and debates, the 
SPF history, the reasons it is a SMTP level only technology and why it 
is not a RFC5322 technology, and also be a believer of the protocol in 
order to be trusted as a chair and leader of this project.

In an earlier note, you used the word 'mushy'.  It turns out that it is apt 
vocabulary with respect to my brain, today, for this issue.  I'm not 
understanding the issue or the choices.

Pedagogy about this, using simple words and sentences, would be appreciated.

Thanks and sorry.

An SPF record can contain several different kinds of "clauses", such as:

	v=3Dspf1 +mx a:colo.example.com/28 -all

The first ("v=3Dspf1") is a version clause.  The remaining set in this exam=
ple are all called "directives".  In this one:

	v=3Dspf1 redirect=3D_spf.example.com

The latter is called a "modifier".

A directive is composed of a qualifier (+/-/?/~) followed by a "mechanism".=
  The set of mechanisms is fixed in RFC4408, which means adding one require=
s a redefinition of the protocol.  However, the set of modifiers is fluid i=
nsofar as unrecognized ones are to be ignored, but RFC4408 didn't create an=
 IANA registry of these, which is something this group will have to fix.

Thus, the available extension mechanism is the declaration of new modifiers=
.  The "scope" extension document refers to itself as an extension, not a n=
ew modifier.  That's the mushy language that probably could use some tidyin=
g in one of the documents or both.

Hector, I think your comments are fundamentally unfair. I have worked
with Murray in various working groups as well as in various forums.
While I haven't always agreed with him I have always found him to be
fair and straight forward. He is able to distinguish his positions as
a participant from his activity as a chair and I have absolutely no
problems with him being a co-chair for the working group. He is
knowledgable in the space, has significant experience in working on
drafts/RFCs. There have been instances over the years where I have
fundamentally disagreed with him on a point and he has been nothing
but straight forward and fair in his dealings with me.

As far as I can tell there is nothing proposed for the working group
(spfbis) which proposes to "fundamentally change the protocol".

I'm confident that Murray has an understanding of the MARID "discussions".

Thanks, I appreciate the support.

I am actually not an opponent of SPF; that's not what I said.  I simply don=
't do any work to support or advance it as an implementer, and have chosen =
instead to invest my time into developing DKIM and its friends.

One might also characterize me as being against HTTP and TLS by the same lo=
gic.

The mere introduction of a new attribute that fundamentally works only 
by downloading the payload is a fundamental change to the SPF 
protocol, regardless if its injected into the revised protocol under 
the guise of an "optional" logic.

Current implementations will apply SPF at the MAIL FROM or in smarter 
SPF implementations after the RCPT TO has been determining.  If this 
scope= is part of the DNS query for the return path domain, then its 
intent has one purpose - to direct the SMTP logic to move its logic to 
another layer where is most likely does not currently exist.

That is a fundamental change not only in SOFTWARE but in the framework 
of SPF.

If he did then he would sympathetic to the reasons SPF was designed as 
SMTP protocol and specifically design not to depend on any RFC5322 
information.  That what was RFC 4405, SUBMITTER, was for.

Anyway, A bias has already established towards people who are involved 
deeply with SPF, has a bias towards SPF itself and has already shown 
how he will disagree with participants where a chair MUST be open 
minded. He does not qualify to be a fair chair for this WG and it it 
will be very unfair to people that do not want RFC5322 methods 
injected into SPF or if reconsidered by them, to be very carefully done.

Folks, let's bring this down a notch, shall we? First, the IESG is 
looking for comments on the charter. The charter includes no assigned 
chairs yet, so there is no need to comment on the qualifications of any 
particular person for that position. Second, Murray simply volunteered 
to be chair; no AD has actually appointed him. If you have suggestions, 
for or against, regarding potential chairs, feel free to send them to 
me. On two specific items below:

Two things here:

1. Everyone has their biases, for and against all sorts of things. What 
I care about choosing a chair is whether the person can reasonably set 
them aside and guide the WG fairly.

2. "Belief in the technology" is most certainly *not* a requirement for 
chair, and in fact I often find it is a *detriment* to being a good 
chair. Long stories aside, my experience has been that the best chairs 
have absolutely no "chips in the game" with regard to a particular 
technology, and experts in the field with strong beliefs in favor of the 
technology make lousy chairs.

So I simply think the above analysis is incorrect.

> Thats exactly the problem.  You [...] You will have a major problem in 
> this WG with [...] You also have a history of [...]

The above is *completely* inappropriate. Again, if anyone has opinions 
on particular candidates for chair, they can communicate them 
*privately* to me. But public personal criticism like the above has no 
place on this list, is disruptive to productive work, and will not be 
tolerated.

The first two work items will generate their share of 
controversies.  I suggest removing the "scope" document from the list 
of work items to restrict the scope of the controversies at the 
initial stage.  Once the proposed working group has produced the 
deliverables that can bring closure to the SPF/Sender-ID debates, it 
can determine whether there are still any surviving WG participants 
to pursue work on extensions to 4408bis.

That should be:

   draft-kitterman-4408bis-00
   draft-mehnle-spfbis-scope-00

My own opinion on this topic is that the chairs could serialize the work ju=
st fine so that SPFbis itself is done first before any work on extensions t=
ake place, without having to go through the process of re-chartering.  We l=
ike to block on AD procedure as little as possible.  :-)

That said, I'm told the re-chartering process is relatively cheap, so I wou=
ldn't object to this if people push the point and convince the ADs that it'=
s necessary.

A least one of the current ADs (moi) is a fan of the phased approach.

I believe this is a repetition of the content of your earlier message, 
correct? If so, may I ask you to clarify for the IESG:

Are you suggesting to the IESG that the "scope" extension be removed 
from the proposed charter?

(The rest of your message was more of the inappropriate personal 
criticism that I mentioned earlier and shall be ignored, given that you 
sent your message before I sent my admonition.)

Peter, I'm a bit thick.  Which of the two is the phased approach?

Phase 1: finish revisions to the core spec.

Phase 2: recharter, then work on extensions.

To complete the picture, rechartering involves circulating an updated chart=
er that lists completed work and then describes proposed new work for that =
WG, which goes through a two-week request for feedback before it gets appro=
ved or modified based on that feedback.  So we'd have to go through that to=
 add the "scope" extension back in later.

To be clear, I'm not yet saying that I think a phased approach is needed
here, only that in general such an approach can motivate a group to
complete its core work first.

+1, work out the current SPF spec issues, codify the spec, based on 
the 9 IETF-MAN/VENDOR-YEARS history.

We need to keep in mind that back during MARID it was clearly 
envisioned that new PAYLOAD technologies will come and we always knew 
there would be a need to couple or augment the technologies.   That is 
why a few of use considered a SMTP extension called HEAD to allow a 
sender to send the RFC5322 header first.

But the principle reason why MARID started was because of the 2003 
SORBIG world wide eVirus attacks which exploited 100% the SMTP relaxed 
nature of MAIL FROM checking and used the ACCEPT/BOUNCE requirement at 
a two prone attempt to deliver the payload:

     1st the RCPT TO,
     2nd the MAIL FROM during the bounce.

So a key goal was to avoid any payload download which the original SPF 
clone CEP by Microsoft was promoting (changed to SENDER-ID).

The compromise was the SUBMITTER protocol which was a SMTP extension 
to pass the PRA as a MAIL FROM keyword.

     MAIL FROM: <id @ SENDER-DOMAIN.COM> SUBMITTER=user@AUTHOR-DOMAIN.COM

If the goal of this SCOPE= idea is to serve the same purpose, then we 
already have the SUBMITTER protocol and its definitely in use.

My vote for the group formation would have the initial charter just do 
phase 1.  (That is to have the proposed charter remove the three 
references to the "scope" draft.)

Yes. I believe the SUBMITTER protocol suffices the intent of the scope 
without download the payload.

This scope= extension is too limiting and only does what we 
intentionally and specifically did not want during the original design 
of SPF.  The reasons have not changed and the principle concern was 
encouraging the payload to be downloaded like SENDER-ID did.

However I do support that SPF needs "Helper Technology" and this was 
also discussed over at MARID and over the years with the development 
of DKIM.   For example, POLICIES that couple SPF plus DKIM with 
perhaps an advertisement of a DKIM scope in the SPF record.  These 
ideas were all discuss in MARID, including suggestions with CSV/DNA 
that may expose the properties of the domain.

In order words, give receivers a better reason to alter their SMTP 
logic to download the payload to do RFC5322 processing.

So yes, I agree with a phase approach to first codify on the pure SPF 
protocol, clean it up,  without the scope= idea and discussed what we 
learned to see how to augment technologies developed since then for a 
2nd phase.  Its not only SENDER-ID at RFC5322 but also DKIM now.

I don't think that needs to be a concern in this case.  There is a long 
standing group of core contributors to the SPF protocol that are strongly 
motivated to work on the core work, so I think some degree of parallelism is 
quite safe.  The extension piece needs to lag the core protocol update 
regardless, but I don't think the need for a lag is so great that it shouldn't 
start before the core work is concluded.

Here is draft demonstrating reflected network gain resolving 
authorization for a single return path using existing SPF libraries 
based upon essentially the existing draft.  The system sending the 
message may be unaware of the results caused by the resolution of the 
return path requested by the submitter.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-otis-spf-dos-exploit-01

The demonstration spf record using 10 mechanisms was as follows:

cert-test.mail-abuse.org.  IN  TXT  "v=spf1
     mx:0.%{l}.%{d} mx:1.%{l}.%{d} mx:2.%{l}.%{d}
     mx:3.%{l}.%{d} mx:4.%{l}.%{d} mx:5.%{l}.%{d}
     mx:6.%{l}.%{d} mx:7.%{l}.%{d} mx:8.%{l}.%{d}

As an early adopter of and participant in SPF, I too support the 
proposed charter to bring RFC4408 from Experimental to Standards Track 
and am willing to assist with inputs where possible and appropriate.

This is a 2006 draft that has been given a thorough technical scrub:

http://www.openspf.net/draft-otis-spf-dos-exploit_Analysis

The conclusion at the time was that the alleged threats are not particularly 
SPF unique.  I don't know of any reason to believe that's changed.

Perhaps I am at fault for not making examples more explicit.  
Nevertheless, this draft clearly shows in exacting and non-theoretical 
terms that resolving a single SPF Return-Path authorization using a 
compliant SPF library can cause recipients to issue 40,436 bytes in DNS 
requests directed against victim domains not seen within messages.  This 
amount can double when PRA is resolved as well. The requests are 
initially prompted by 29,650 bytes from an attacker's DNS.

Because SPF includes "l" local-part macro constructs, answers for 
"jo@example.com" can not be assumed the same as that for 
"lu@example.com".  In addition, the 100 NX domains issued by victim's 
name servers NEVER caused the SPF compliant library to quit.  In fact, 
SPF could have ended with "+all" and obtain PASS in addition to the DDoS 
aimed at anyone's DNS.

Spammers often cycle originating local-parts in campaign runs.  Once a 
run extends beyond the negative caching interval employed by their 
recipients, repeating the sequence will satisfy subsequent queries for 
MX records from cache.  Ignoring the relatively smaller bandwidth used 
in the related activity called spamming, the overall DNS DDoS gain 
becomes extremely large without even leveraging EDNS0 extensions.

Any value from SPF records can not be obtained when local-part macros or 
"exists" mechanisms are used.  Use of APL RRsets (RFC3123) provide 
safer, more extensive and extendable information.  There is 
justification for overloading TXT RRsets.

It was very difficult for me to understand this draft, but I believe I =

I agree that this attack vector is not unique to SPF.  As a one-time =

attack as being viable.  In a research environment, maybe.  But the cost =
of constructing this attack does not make the resulting DoS attack very =

nuisance.  Toss in caching (there appears to be some confusion in the =
draft on how modern DNS caches work in terms of ability to clear caches =
by overflowing them when junk results -- its not that simple), and the =
threat is reduced to "low in probability of occurring and extremely low =

Given the reality of today's internet and constant DoS attacks against =

Tim,

The test demonstrated a _simple_ SPF record can attack _any_ DNS server 
not related to any domain supporting the email exchange.  It does not 
take a research environment to construct the attack since it does not 
require _any_ knowledge of the victim's DNS.  It simply takes advantage 
of poorly considered constraints placed upon SPF macros able to 
introduce any portion of an email-address local-part or domain into a 
request.  This ability permits DNS prompting to originate from any 
unrelated domain and directed toward any other unrelated domain.  This 
attack can be sustained from domains unrelated to those supplying the 
initial SPF record.  Such an ability allows attacks to side-step 
reputation filters, for example.
> But the cost of constructing this attack does not make the resulting DoS attack very likely.. if the actual effect is considered to be anything more than a nuisance.
A 150x gain (based upon a single email message sent to a single 
recipient) is only a nuisance?  Much of this traffic originates from 
compromised systems numbered in the millions that will be sending spam 
anyway.  Why allow DoS of DNS to be virtually free as well?
> Toss in caching (there appears to be some confusion in the draft on how modern DNS caches work in terms of ability to clear caches by overflowing them when junk results -- its not that simple), and the threat is reduced to "low in probability of occurring and extremely low cost in terms of damage".
The clearing of caches is not in question!  Better caching will increase 
the effectiveness of an SPF initiated DoS attack.  The attack is not 
against the reflectors, it is against targeted victims.  These 
reflectors likely represent legitimate resolvers which makes any remedy 
disruptive, if not impossible.
> Given the reality of today's internet and constant DoS attacks against various services, there are easier and cheaper ways to get this job done.  I believe this write up (or maybe a far simpler one) would have greater impact as guidance to SPF developers to make sure they write better code.
The reason for the extensive sequence was to illustrate the potential 
level of activity from a single 1KB message using the SPF strategy 
purportedly aimed at mitigating abuse.  The activity logged clearly 
illustrates the potential for reflected activity caused by use of this 
poorly considered macro language.  The definition of this protocol 
should be modified into a much safer form.  It is unwise to expect 
implementations will exceed the qualify of the protocol specifications.

This continues the consistent pattern of responses that assess the concern as 
being outside the scope of the current working group.

I have seen no pattern of comments that support pursuing the concern in this 
working group.  (Nevermind pattern, I haven't seen /any/ support.)

I support the creation of the new WG on the basis of the submitted
draft charter.  Updating SPF is a long overdue job and I believe that
moving RFC 4408 to standard track will benefit the community.  I'm
willing to contribute by reviewing proposed drafts.

I note that the draft does say *Finally*, which resembles phasing and,
paired with an appropriate choice of the dates displayed as "MMM
YYYY", can likewise motivate the group to complete its core work
first.  It is a question of convenience and I'm neutral on this point.

I believe this falls within the current scope, but it would involve either =
an additional draft deliverable or an additional section in the spfbis docu=
ment.

There are two errata against RFC5451: http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_sear=
ch.php?rfc=3D5451

The first of these is a change to what Authentication-Results uses to repor=
t SPF failures.  In particular, SPF itself uses "fail", but A-R uses "hardf=
ail" to report that case.  Since RFC5451 set up IANA registries for results=
 of authentication methods, fixing this amounts to just an IANA action and =
maybe an "Updates" against RFC5451.

I believe we could do this in spfbis easily as it amounts to nothing more t=
han a correction, and those are in scope.  Although this modifies a documen=
t outside of our current plan, it is a germane modification to this work.

If there's objection, I can seek to do it as an AD-sponsored individual sub=
mission or maybe through APPSAWG.

Comments?

I don't understand.  Unless I missed it, the draft charter does not cite RFC 
5451, reporting or header fields.  How does modifying a reporting specification 
fall within the current draft charter?

I agree that it would be easy work.

I suggest that you defer this until after the core work is 
completed.  There will always be a good reason for adding 
deliverables.  It's better not to go down that path.

One possible reason to deal with this as core work would be if we wanted to explore deprecating the Received SPF header field in favor of the Authentication Results header field.

SPF Received is in wide use, so it's not a candidate for removal, but we might start in that direction if we could make a few adjustments to Authentication Results. It would be difficult to do this immediately after we finish 4408bis.

The errata items for RFC 5451 look correct. The comment from D. Stussy 
expresses the correct current expected SPF response per RFC 4408.

Murray, since RFC 5451 looks like it is authored by you, would you 
entertain adjusting 2.4.2 (the SPF and Sender-ID results) to reflect the 
SPF responses per RFC 4408?  Hardfail is not mentioned in RFC 4408 
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4408.txt), so I'm not sure how it got 
into RFC 5451 (unless it is part of the Sender-ID fork, which I think is 
outside the scope of the charter for SPFbis).

Best,

Alan M.

I can support adding AUTH-RES support to SPF-BIS charter. This is more 
in line with SPF-BIS work. Received-SPF is a SHOULD, thus is already 
optional for SPF implementations and it would not be a protocol change 
to offer an alternative 5322 reporting option for AUTH-RES or both. 
Since these headers are generally are for internal mail bots, there is 
already the possibility that other headers are using to pass more 
useful information for the internal mail processors.

However, for domain SPF policies using -ALL (hard fail), when the 
result is a FAIL, the PAYLOAD will not be downloaded and there is NO 
5322 header added, no Received-SPF.  So by the time mail is 
downloaded, there will only be for results:

     result = = "Pass" / SoftFail" / "Neutral" /
                "None" / "TempError" / "PermError"

This is critical important and one of the concerns I have with the 
mindset change with SPF-BIS now focusing on RFC5322 when it was never 
a major part of SPF other than for adding a Receiver-SPF header.

What that means is, while its possible for an local policy to not 
reject the SPF failures at SMTP, and include a ReceivedSPF: Fail 
header, this defeats the operational importance of SPF a hard fail 
policy offers to avoid  Accept/Bounce attacks.

So I can support the support of AUTH-RES, but not with a focus of 
reporting to force payload downloads for the purpose of reporting 
AUTH-RES fail reports.

Is this true? RFC4408 states:

2.5.4.  Fail

   A "Fail" result is an explicit statement that the client is not
   authorized to use the domain in the given identity.  The checking
   software can choose to mark the mail based on this or to reject the
   mail outright.


So rejecting is one option but marking is an option as well. This
would mean that "Fail" could conceivably be a reported option.

I have to disagree with you on this Hector. My experience with private
policy assertions based on SPF failures (as well as DKIM failures)
coupled with auth failure FBLs has convinced me that there is quite a
bit of utility in capturing the payload. I guess where you stand
depends on where you sit.

Downloading the payload has always been an option in RFC4408 as
indicated in 2.5.4.

It is true if the mail is rejected which is often the cause with the 
deterministic SPF protocol.

Yes, see below.

And the history and how one has integrated newer stuff.

It was left open ended because of the history.

The language in the original specs leading up to RFC 4408  was first 
considered when implementations were only mostly possible with 
ACCEPTED mail system. But as more implementations came on board and 
offered or changed to do more dynamic SMTP level processing, this 
altered the mind set.

Keep in mind SPF was based on two other LMAP protocols called DMP and 
RMX. Both used SMTP level parameters for the LMAP domain::ip 
association assertion. We supported and explored DMP since RMX was 
more complex.  In fact, DMP was deprecated long ago, and finally 
removed in our WCSAP product early this year.  See Example Below.

This was specifically highlight during the SPF-DISCUSS and MARID 
because there were two (actually four now) kinds of operations:

   - Original, Always Accept, especially for high scale operation needs.

   - With better/faster hardware, multi-thread OSes, more modem SMTP 
software
     began to do hooks at the SMTP state machine level.  This capability
     was limited to certain SMTP software, it was not universal.

   - Many of the original setups, that did have the capability but
     would not scale back then, with the better hardware, they could 
feasibility
     do more of smtp level work, and

   - finally, among all, even if the software had dynamic SMTP level 
shimming
     capabilities, it MAY NOT included the more complex shimming at the
     DATA state.   This because more important as DKIM was coming 
along and
     newer software began to add the FILTERING scripts to the DATA level
     to offer a EOD response.

In short, SPF is written to allow people to implement it for both 
types of operations - Dynamic SMTP vs POST SMTP mail processing 
because the industry was changing very rapidly with better and faster, 
multi-core hardware during the 2000 decade. What systems were not 
capable of doing before and had to scale out, were not able to SCALE 
UP and add more integration of backend hosting databases and do more 
dynamic processing of the mail.  This is very important to combat the 
hugely problematic Accept/Bounce problem.

There was no doubt the direction took on a SMTP level deterministic 
result for HARD FAILS. If this was never the case (SPF clearly 
required the payload in all cases, or you believed that is how most 
systems worked) then the SPF/SENDER-ID history would be very 
different.  That was the whole battle with the issue with SENDER-ID - 
not requiring or be dependent on the payload.

So yes, there are things to clean up in 4408 with semantics when a 
Received-SPF: FAIL is possible but most likely will never be used or 
seen.  Most of the language in 4408 was based originally on POST SMTP 
processing because that is how people explored it.  But it quickly 
changed to DYNAMIC SMTP and the language was altered, not not always 
consistent.  I saw that back then, but didn't think it was worth the 
time to get that cleaned up.

Just consider, then to support SPF at the POST SMTP level, you need 
three parameters passed to the RFC5322 payload as headers or as META data.

   CIP IP                   (Connecting IP)
   RPD Return Path Domain   (5321.MAIL FROM)
   CDN Client Domain        (5321.EHLO/HELO)

The RPD was required with SMTP receivers with the

   Return-Path:

So POST-SMTP SPF processor can get that piece of data.  But keep in 
mind that this COULD BE removed before the mail is finally posted. 
This is UUCP/SLIP history here related to this, the SPF would have to 
be done before it was finally posted.

But where would the POST-SMTP SPF processor get the CIP and CDN?

The only possibility would be a SMTP required Received: hop line.  But 
not critical because an implementation can use proprietary META header 
for the post processing before the final post is done, like:

   ENV-IP:  1.2.3.4
   ENV-CDN: mail.foobar.com
   ENV-FROM: alan@gmai.com
   ENV-TO: hsantos@isdg.net
   ENV-DATA:
   {RFC5322-PAYLOAD}

The point is this is also material to codify in SPF-BIS to finally get 
to do modes of operations consistent for all results regardless if 
payload is downloaded or not.

But for reporting, it must be understood that fail at SMTP MAY NOT 
include any payload available to add any Received-SPF or AUTH-RES 
header to pass on to anyone.

DMP EXAMPLE:

Here is how DMP work which predated SPF using DMP records still existing:

  nslookup -query=txt 9.131.247.208.in-addr._smtp-client.santronics.com

  9.131.247.208.in-addr._smtp-client.santronics.com

       text =  "dmp=allow"

Change the IP and repeat:

  nslookup -query=txt 8.131.247.208.in-addr._smtp-client.santronics.com

  8.131.247.208.in-addr._smtp-client.santronics.com

       text = "dmp=deny"

I really liked DMP because it was designed to work with wild cards, 
but it also required you to add lots of TXT records and that is SPF 
offered over DMP. Otherwise, the concepts are the same.

OVERALL - Accepting the PAYLOAD with SPF fails, is the odd exception 
for pure and true SPF operations that 100% honor a domains SPF hard 
fail policy.  If a SPF receiver disregards the DOMAIN policy, then the 
legal responsibility now passed on to the RECEIVER because it 
intentionally ignored a DETERMINISTIC hard failure.

But consider the text in 2.5:

    Although invalid, malformed, or non-existent domains cause SPF checks
    to return "None" because no SPF record can be found, it has long been
    the policy of many MTAs to reject E-Mail from such domains,
    especially in the case of invalid "MAIL FROM".  In order to prevent
    the circumvention of SPF records, rejecting E-Mail from invalid
    domains should be considered.

In 2.5.5.  SoftFail

    A "SoftFail" result should be treated as somewhere between a "Fail"
    and a "Neutral".  The domain believes the host is not authorized but
    is not willing to make that strong of a statement.  Receiving
    software SHOULD NOT reject the message based solely on this result,
    but MAY subject the message to closer scrutiny than normal.

Ask Scott, this became an OPTION with implementations to force a 
rejection due to the wide abuse over the 2000 decade experience.   We 
offer SPF options such as these:

   Accept-SPF-Pass      True            ; if false, continue testing
   Accept-SPF-SoftFail  FALSE           ; if false, continue testing
   Accept-SPF-Neutral   FALSE           ; if false, continue testing

   rescode_spf_fail     550         ; rejected by SPF Lookup
   rescode_spf_softfail 550         ; rejected by SPF Lookup

and that last one was added because of operational experience.

In 10.5.  Untrusted Information Sources

it says:

    SPF uses information supplied by third parties, such as the "HELO"
    domain name, the "MAIL FROM" address, and SPF records.  This
    information is then passed to the receiver in the Received-SPF: mail
    headers and possibly returned to the client MTA in the form of an
    SMTP rejection message.

This is only possible with a ACCEPT mail first operation in order to 
create a bounce.  A SMTP Level reject will not have a DSN or BOUNCE so 
its impossible to have an Receiver-SPF at this point.   The sender 
could add it when it does the bounce, but I doubt it will add a 
Receiver-SPF unless there was some SMTP negotiated information in the 
55x response where the sender can determine it was a SPF rejection.

Overall, while RFC4408 has history to allow for payload acceptance 
before SPF processing was done, it is not the dominant mode and main 
focus of implementing SPF today as a means to avoid the need to accept 
the payloads in the first place.

This is the kind of stuff we need to clean up in the RFC 4408, because 
the semantics are mixed with chicken vs egg design issues.

We don't need to deprecate the former in order to allow the latter.

An implementation may be configured to add either header field,
independently of each other.  A-R needs some configuration anyway,
e.g. for how to set the "authserv-id" token.

I don't think we need a separate document for establishing allowing
A-R instead of or in addition to R-SPF.  However, it would be
impractical to have a large document such as 4408bis update RFC 5451,
because readers will have a hard time spotting what does the update
consist of.  It would be much better to produce a 5451bis, and/or
somehow bless the errata meanwhile.

One of the rules for new modifiers in SPF is that they cannot change the SPF 
result.  Whatever this extension does, the output it produces is not an SPF 
result, it's some kind of other result and should be reported in a way that 
doesn't confuse it with an SPF result.  The extension draft should probably 
cover how to report it's results since it needs a different authenticatoin 
type.

There's some movement toward replacing the Received-SPF header field with t=
he one defined in RFC5451 as the standard way to relay the results of SPF e=
valuation on a message.  If that's the consensus desire, then it seems  to =
me that resolving this erratum is a reasonable thing to include in the over=
all "clean up and publish" effort that the charter seeks to execute.

We don't have to; I can always do it as an individual submission.  It just =
seems a good fit.  Or maybe it's time to consider moving RFC5451 to Interne=
t Standard since it's been more than six months and there are ample impleme=
ntations of it now, which I would consider doing through APPSAWG or as an i=
ndividual.

I suggest that it is "core work" given that the goal here is to clean up an=
d republish SPF, and there's some consideration for the idea of dropping Re=
ceived-SPF and replacing it with Authentication-Results.

I'd be happy to do that.  Fortunately we can tackle it as a simple IANA cha=
nge and not a full republication of RFC5451.  Since the change is specific =
to SPF, I thought this might be a reasonable thing to add in the initial ef=
fort of spfbis.

While true, it does also mean that an agent which adds one or the other nee=
ds to pick the one that downstream agents (i.e., MUAs) are most likely to u=
se.  Having two standards to do the same thing doesn't help interoperabilit=
y.

I suggest we work toward convergence and eventually deprecate Received-SPF.=
  If we can do that directly in RFC4408bis by fixing up this one errata ite=
m, then we should do so.

I disagree; RFC4408bis can update RFC5451 just to make this one correction,=
 which amounts to a simple IANA action.  RFC5451 would thereafter show as "=
Updated by RFC4408bis", which means "If you're implementing RFC5451, you re=
ally should go read RFC4408bis as well".  The corrected definition will the=
n appear in two places: RFC4408bis, and the registry of A-R method results.

RFC5451 has two errata against it, one of which is minor (a change to an ex=
ample), and the other would be resolved by this action.  No need to do an R=
FC5451bis just for this.

Nice and neat.

I don't think the RFC 5451 Authentication Results header field is currently a 
fully suitable replacement for Received-SPF.  It is close, but I think there 
is work to be done beyond the eratta.  Not a lot, but some.  I think it's 
sensible to fold adding investigating this as a core task and then using 
4408bis to update 5451 if there is consensus to go in this direction.

Absent an emergency, I'd recommend deferring this until the core work is done. 
That's not a comment on the benefit of the added task, but of working group focus.

There might be some debate about having that spec fit within this working group 
at all, given that it's scope is broader than SPF, but since the actual work is 
SPF-related, we can probably fold it in.

But, really, I think we'll do best by maintaining focus on the core work of the 
charter, first.

+1, I think you are touching base with what we all expected would 
inevitably need to do once these protocols since MARID got to a point 
were we could it all together and had the data to evaluate and 
optimize the process - Basically establishing what would be the new 
persistent assertions both deterministic and heuristics systems could 
yse to get a low/zero false positive high payoff by combining all the 
email technologies, in particular SPF, DKIM and DKIM POLICY.  IMO, the 
deterministic policies were easy in concept to understand, but it was 
the indeterministic results that needed to be dealt with - items 
closely related to a common issue with both IMO - 3rd party or middle 
ware related issues.  With SPF, authorizing the transition point 
(multi-hops) issue and with DKIM, the authorization of the 3rd party 
signature.

I have some text I wanted to post regarding this but will wait until I 
get a chance to review your draft and perhaps (or not) introduce it in 
my comments - haven't had the time yet to read it but will sometime 
early this week. :)

[Resubmitted from the proper membership address]

Other than the following extremely minor comment, I saw no substantial 
change to this SPF-BIS draft in regards to the SPF protocol.

Maybe its just me, but I see too much usage of the term MEMO for what 
is otherwise a RFC update for a proposed technical specification.   In 
1.1, it says::

     The protocol was originally documented in [RFC4408], which this
     memo replaces.

As far as I am concern, SPF-BIS I-D is not a MEMO A.K.A. Memorandum. 
It is an
technical and/or functional specification depending on your 
discipline. I suggest text change to strengthen what this document 
really is:

    The protocol was originally documented in [RFC4408], which this
    [new] specification (or document) updates and replaces.

Perhaps a correction or errata to SPF-BIF might be described as a MEMO 
or perhaps an Informational RFC, but this is a complete draft standard 
update for a proposed protocol specification - not a piece of a MEMO 
per se.  Other than this nit, I did a complete compare and saw nothing 
that is of substance to write about.

However, IMO, there are plenty of practical SPF-BIS material that 
should be considered that was learned over the decade.  As an early 
adopter,I would like the opportunity to describe and outline these 
SPF-BIS material suggestions if there is interest.

It is also a question of modularity.  The mail filter that sets
Authentication Results needs to access the whole body of a message,
and that might be the first time it gets called.  In such cases,
Received-SPF can be considered a convenient standard place to store
the result of an SPF evaluation, temporarily if the filter will later
translate it into an A-R field --on a shared-object architecture like
Sendmail one could use core memory, but that's not always the case.

For example, I get these:

Return-Path: <spfbis-bounces@ietf.org>
Authentication-Results: wmail.tana.it;
  spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=ietf.org;
  dkim=pass header.i=@ietf.org

Isn't it a pain in the neck to have to learn the whole SPF spec for
someone who just wishes to implement, say, the auth method for his MSA?

The following suggestions I believe are reasonable for SPF-BIS, 
overall four items:

      1) Dynamic vs Post SMTP SPF processing
      2) Support for SMTP SUBMITTER Extension (RFC 4405)
      3) Support for AUTH-RES (RFC 5965)
      4) Dealing with Transition Points

1) Dynamic vs Post SMTP SPF processing

SPF-BIS should make it very clear the two basic methods that it can be 
implemented:

    - Dynamic or Online SMTP processing,
    - Post Mail Acceptance, session ended mail processing.

The first one is a SMTP level rejection and this is long followed the 
US EPCA requirement for satisfying User Expectation with an immediate 
notification.

The 2nd one provides an 250 acceptance and User Expectation for 
delivery. Per US EPCA, a delay notification is required if delivery 
can not be met.   To get around this,  SPF-BIS, like ADSP, needs clear 
protocol standard semantics that a POST mail acceptance DISCARD is 
acceptable.

SPF-BIF should have two sections that basically talks about:

  1.1) The need to pass the SPF inputs to the PAYLOAD meta information
       so that a post smtp SPF process can take place.  This not a 
standard
       format nor do I think it should be, but it needs to be pointed 
out to
       implementators what they need to pass.

  1.2) Clear Technical Allowance for DISCARDING of mail for SPF HARD FAIL
       results, no bounce required.   This is not related to a report
       channel if that is desired.

2) Support for SMTP SUBMITTER Extension (RFC 4405)

SPF-BIS should include a section on the optional SUBMITTER support and 
describe how it is used by receivers and also what is required of them 
to make any forwarding of MAIL FROM persistent with any SUBMITTER keyword.

For POST SMTP SPF processing, the question I have is how is SUBMITTER 
passed to the payload or if its necessary since the POST SMTP SPF 
processor would be able to do SENDER-ID logic with the available 
payload.  This is probably a generic question regarding adding the 
Return-Path per SMTP receiver requirement.  Does that include any 
keywords passed in in MAIL FROM?

3) Support for AUTH-RES (RFC 5965)

I think it is reasonable from an engineering standpoint to offer 
support for AUTH-RES that SPF implementators can use either in place 
of Received-SPF or both.

The main reason is that today, SPF is not the only game in town. DKIM 
is also part of the SMTP receiver mail processing.  I don't think we 
have reached a point where we are beginning to couple multiple results 
for a final results, but when we do get to that point, it will be an 
easier design for algorithms based on looking at all the result 
entries in AUTH-RES.

4) Dealing with Transition Points

It has been long understood since day one that the basic problem with 
SPF was how the LMAP domain::ip association is no longer valid after 
the first hop (transition points) or relays.

Its the reason why SENDER-ID existed,  the reason also DKIM first 
existed and was considered as a SPF replacement as a possible IP path 
independent solution.

I think SPF-BIS should have a clear section that talks about this and 
want are current possible solutions to the problem.  The section 
should also focus on what policies are used and how a particular 
policy can have an affect on transition points.

Checking SPF dynamically is technically not a problem.  The problem for
a small business is that a sender will publish a policy which gives a
FAIL result, but still expect the email to be delivered.  If we were
gmail or aol, they would fix their problem and move on, but they will
not do so for a small business.  Hence, a small business must maintain a
database of overrides to sender policy.  Often, this database will
include "substitute" SPF record reverse engineered from the sending
patterns of the broken email domain.   When reporting SPF results for
such domains, an implementation MUST report the ACTUAL SPF result, and
not the "customer is never wrong" policy driven result.  Hence, any
Received-SPF or Authentication-Results header must be able to report a
FAIL result.

P.S.  Should 4408bis address when/if to send DSNs based on SPF results?

Agreed.  However, well established policies (e.g. best-guess) deserve
to be reported adequately too --especially for empty MAIL FROMs.

Yes.  But for result-based processing, that Hector calls post-SMTP,
authentication is successful on "pass".  Neutral, fail, or whatever
else are just not authenticated.  IOW, the important point is to bring
out /positive/ results.  Is that correct?

Given the similarity between DSN and SPF-reporting, that discussion
may open up the possibility of a nice summing-up if it will be
addressed in the other deliverable.

I like to view this as what is required in the first place.

If an Online SMTP rejection is performed (for any reason), there is no 
DNS or bounce  possibility at this node.  The sender, or rather the 
hop (receiver) that did the initial 250 acceptance is required per 
SMTP to do a DNS/BOUNCE.

That has nothing to do with SPF or any other email technology, and to 
keep with persistent engineering,  SPF should not change it and if so, 
only by a standard POLICY concept that we have endorsed.

That is where SPF policies come in to play:

    FAIL     - A Domain Policy to REJECT, don't question it.
    SOFT     - It looks wrong, but may be rejected is not automatic
    NEUTRAL  - "I have no clue what I am doing."

FAIL is a 100% deterministic and the DOMAIN is telling you, the sender 
information its wrong, don't accept it.  The other two are 
indeterminate conditions.

Any debates regarding this strong hard FAIL SPF policy is not related 
to the technical merits but one that begins to question the DOMAIN 
decision to use it.  Thats is an entirely different concept. We often 
hear people say the domain doesn't know what its doing. That is was a 
poor or a mistake that a domain has a -ALL SPF policy.  Well, I take 
the position giving domains the benefit of the doubt, one that 
included an explicit series of steps to add a -ALL to the SPF record.

I agree there are times where you may need to whitelist a hard SPF 
policy because it took a path where the domain::ip assertion fails. 
But these are known transactions,  they are not anonymous. This is the 
part of the protocol awareness of knowing the difference. Its not an 
reason to ignore the hard policy and accept all mail anyway.   So I 
view this white listing is part the SPF protocol local policy option 
to TEST for SPF result, record and accept the mail only, but it is an 
EXCEPTION, not the NORM to do this.

Look at this way, if SPF had this framework where you are just 
TEST/RECORD/ACCEPT the payload anyway, I sincerely doubt it would have 
been successful or even get the huge and super fast industry wide 
endorsement it did.  I know I and many others would not had wasted our 
time when at the time the #1 problem was the huge ACCEPT/BOUNCE 
dilemma that the 2003 SORBIG eVirus highlighted to the world. That is 
what give a SPF a spark and got MARID started.  There was no dominant 
position that was saying "Oh, lets test, record and accept the mail 
anyway."  No.  We were looking at many LMAP ideas and SPF was one of 
them for a new standard transport level based technology for immediate 
online SMTP level rejection.  All the other payload stuff were 
interesting but it was very different and we need to remember that 
with SPF.  The opponents of SPF has longed question the idea of an 
hard deterministic rejection protocol and also Receivers that were 
100% ok with the idea of honoring them.  I prefer not to get into this 
debate of questioning DOMAIN decision to use hard deterministic 
policies or receivers that choose to honor it by simply following the 
SPF protocol immediate reject semantics.   Yet, there is no hard rule 
that says a local policy can do a Test/Record/Accept setup.

Why's that?  An Authentication-Results field could be added to a message as=
 soon as SPF completes evaluation, and it doesn't require a full body downl=
oad.

There's no requirement that they be combined.  At my site I run sid-milter =
and opendkim, and they attach those independently.

I was just explaining what the "Updates" would mean.  We could leave it off=
 if that's how it might be interpreted.

I think it's something for a BCP that might be part of follow on work after 
4408bis.

Courier-MTA checks SPF natively /and/ calls filters after full body
download.  So its users cannot have reject-on-fail /and/
filter-handled SPF at the same time.

Correct.  Assuming that next release of Courier-MTA offers a choice,
the only advantage of combining them will consist in specifying the
"authserv-id" in just one config file.

Is there any interest in assuring use of mx mechanism will work properly 
with domains publishing more than 5 MX records?  Many current SPF 
libraries process a maximum of 5 rather than the specified 10 to 
circumvent a possible 100 DNS transactional sequence.  The impact is 
this may cause intermittent failures difficult to troubleshoot.  What 
makes this contentious is possible macro expansion of local-parts 
against cached SPF records.

Can you illustrate the MX concern and whether there is an SPF problem 
here?

Doug, its been what?  nearly 9, 10 years? I have yet to see a 
situation that was not managed with the SPF implementation, especially 
with recursive parts where limits are placed.

I have yet to see or hear of any exploit that circumvents SPF 
implementations.  Its all theoretical with the presumption the 
implementation is not aware of aggressive abuse.

In terms of SPF, a "BCP" is to reject HARD failures and/or mark them, 
record and save if you wish, but overall it is hurting users if a HARD 
failure was passed to them or begin to think about sending SPF 
determined rejection as BOUNCES - thats goes against its whole purpose 
in email life.

If we begin to argue that fundamental point, then SPF is under attack 
for a framework and mindset change in this small and isolated group 
with leaders that are 100% against SPF and that concerns me.

PS: Happy New Years :)
