FWIW, I'm not aware of anything that would currently meet that criteria and the only thing that might in the time frame we're discussing is the SPF failure  feedback report going on in MARF.

If this language lets us transition the SPF modifier registry into 4408bis, then it's probably useful.

This line has been in the charter since it went to the IESG and for IETF 
review.

My read of the line has always been that there is a burden on the 
proposer to show that any particular enhancement already has 
implementation and that the community has already (past tense) given the 
feature widespread support. I am willing to leave to the judgment of the 
chairs (and myself) whether the WG has clear consensus on the 
"widespread support" of such an enhancement should one come forward.

Since 4408 already reserves unknown modifiers for extensions, there is 
no need to mention specific extensions, except perhaps to reference the 
IANA registry for such extensions.

Dear Pete,

At any inbound SMTP server, there may be attempts to resolve an 
extensive list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses associated with SPF records 
whether referenced from insecure SMTP Mail From or HELO/EHLO parameters. 
SMTP services must cope with an extensive amount of unwanted traffic and 
will therefore have extensive provisioning. SMTP distributed attacks 
will be extremely difficult for any single SMTP recipient to detect. Nor 
will victims of an attack be aware of the triggering messages. Victims 
of this type of attack may not even exchange SMTP traffic.

Most sources of unwanted SMTP traffic originate from insecure hosts. 
Resulting SPF related DNS transactions performed by receiving SMTP 
servers will obfuscate their source. In addition, Authentication-Results 
header fields, that may be added to forwarded messages, exclude source 
IP addresses. Even when victims of targeted attacks are known, proactive 
protection at either SMTP or DNS services can be thwarted by SPF’s macro 
capabilities. SPF’s macros makes it impractical to identify records or 
messages involved in an attack which may also lead to extensive traffic 
amplification.

DDoS vulnerabilities may result from the distributed nature of SMTP 
messages and receipt of DNS traffic related to SPF validation which may 
consume all of a victim's available resources. Whether an attack 
leverages HELO/EHLO subdomains or more significantly an email-address 
local-part, the overall number of transactions involved can be extensive 
while demanding little of the sender’s resources. An SPF ‘mx’ or ‘ptr’ 
mechanism limit corresponds to a ten times greater number of DNS 
resource record resolutions. SPF deployment would be significantly safer 
where recipients employ reasonable limits for the permitted number of 
resulting DNS failures.

Determining reasonable DNS error limits for SPF should be part of the WG 
charter. Potential victims of SPF amplifications will not represent 
those needing to change the SPF process.

The charter already covers this. If there are operational problems with the current design, it's in scope to address them.

Dear Scott,

Perhaps express this as requirement to establish a realistic Security 
Consideration section.  It seems unlikely email providers will notice 
their role in what might be devastating DDoS attacks impossible for 
victims to mitigate.  Depending on email provider's perspectives of 
"operational problems" unfortunately overlooks these broader Internet 
concerns.

Douglas Otis

Your wording assumes a problem. That's not appropriate. Either these attacks you claim are devastating someone exist and there will be evidence somewhere or they aren't a problem. Redesigning protocols for invisible attacks that no one can find is nonsense.

The work of this group needs to be about engineering facts and not flights of fancy.

That's a useful observation, since it should help to bias the group against
spending very much time considering "additions", absent extremely compelling
deployment experience.

Regardless of what we put in the charter, reviewing the security
considerations and considering revising them appropriately is clearly an
in-scope -- I might even say *required* -- activity.  It will be up to the
chairs to ensure that happens and to manage the discussion.  It will be one
responsibility of the participants to come to consensus on it, and to
accept when the consensus is against them, and move on.

Hi Doug,

If we're going to do that, we ought to list all the other standard
things that published WG documents are supposed to do, like reflect WG
consensus, have correct boilerplate, have correct references --
indeed, the charter would end up having all the PROTO instructions,
the instructions to genart and secdir, and so on.

And, indeed, every charter ought to contain this.

I think it's an unreasonable request.

Best,

   I was thinking of posting the same thing: there's no reason to put
a Security Considerations item in the charter.

   FYI, this charter is on today's IESG agenda. Hopefully Pete will
advise us of any action taken.

It's still just a propeller-beanie right now.  It becomes a proper hat
in Paris (so I suppose it should be a beret).

The problem is that from your POV there is only one solution - STOP 
USING SPF.  In short, the ultimate conclusion when your security 
concerns is seriously considered, is to stop using SPF.  That's not a 
solution - a non-starter.

You keep talking about IPV6 and I don't know about others, thats still 
really very far for MOST people. I have yet to encounter one person 
that is only talking IPV6 and we can't deal with him. I can't even 
recall one company even inquiring about IPV6 support for any our 
internet servers.

Dear Scott,

When dealing with security "whatever can happen will happen" could be 
termed "Murphy's law" and this provides a good basis for assessing 
security.  Architectural flaws within Internet infrastructure become 
pernicious when those impacted are unable to take corrective action.  
Draft-otis-spf-dos-exploit-01 demonstrates the possible.  Fortunately, a 
majority of large providers do not use SPF for message acceptance 
because they do not wish to deal with complaints arising from 
assumptions the SMTP Mail From parameter fully describes the path of a 
message in conjunction with SPF records ending in "-all".

Including a limit in the SPF validation process for the number of name 
errors or no data errors permitted would make the SPF process 
significantly safer.  IMHO, a large factor contributing to undesired 
SMTP traffic is the lack of domain authentication of outbound servers, 
which should be possible within a few transactions.  Unfortunately, SPF 
recommends resolving SPF records for both HELO/EHLO and Mail From SMTP 
parameters obtained from otherwise unknown sources using as many as 200 
DNS transactions that can be directed against non-existent resources!

We have a large number of customers within the pacific region, and are 
currently seeing a greater amount of traffic against absolute IPv6 
addresses than those against our own servers across a range of 
services.  Email providers deciding to not accept IPv6 traffic will 
likely be receiving it through Large Scale NATs.  At which point, no 
number of SPF transactions will be sufficient.

SPF currently provides a useful utility in determining which reputation 
service has listed an IP address authorized by the domain, or to 
white-list their authorized addresses.  Use of local-part macros would 
defeat the value of this utility and should be deprecated.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

Did you ever consider they were not candidates to use SPF?

I always viewed SPF benefited private user domains, companies, of any 
size, institutions, etc, where there is less to no unknown variables 
in their networking.

But I think that is all depends on your definition for "Large 
Providers."  FaceBook.com and gmail.com can be viewed as "very large" 
Email Providers.  Facebook.com, I presume has a very large pool of 
outbound senders and it has a well defined network with a -ALL final 
result.

On the other hand, gmail.com with its ?ALL is a major overhead and 
resource "waster" - its completely useless for gmail.com to use 
UNKNOWN condition.  Nothing good comes from it:

    MATCH    - IP is on the GMAIL Network - Whoopie!
    NO MATCH - IP is not on the GMAIL NETWORK

In both cases, abuse can and still occurs but with the latter, its 
where major abuse would be with bad guys using gmail.com with a 
wasteful record, and worse, it is always two lookups for what is most 
likely a wasteful yield.

At least with Facebook.com, there is a measurable yield. Its 
protecting itself from any foreign abuse.

Recently, I got a smile when I saw my old employer Mobil Oil (now as 
Exxon Mobil) corporate domain has a HARD FAIL SPF Record!

Processes with hard failure detection mechanism is where the maximum 
benefit is found. A PASS or anything else still generally requires 
even more filter checks and even if you couple it with reputation or 
scoring,  it is still not deterministic unlike a hard fail.

Any system operation, large or small, that can not establish a well 
defined network was never really a candidate for SPF - I think we 
always knew that.

Dear Hector,

Many providers of email services run on thin margins threatened by 
answering support calls caused by erroneous assumptions, such as whether 
an email alias is used to arrive at a recipient's mailbox.  The Mail 
 From parameter indicates where Delivery Status Notifications are to be 
sent, and nothing more can be assumed.  At most, SPF Pass indicates the 
last hop was authorized, however authorization does not authenticate the 
originating domain.  Refusing messages based upon SPF HARD FAIL is also 
likely to demand expensive exceptions for these refusals.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

Still, it might be worth adding the suggested extra text to the charter. 
Personally, I was planning on trying to establish an UNrealistic Security 
Considerations section, but would not pursue it if the charter prohibited it...

Perhaps the charter should also contain a proscription against meaningless 
charter content?

We need a BCP for that.

Folks,

The spfbis group charter was approved yesterday by the IESG. You should 
see the announcement soon. The charter as you saw it is what we went 
with. A couple of notes from your AD:

I've assigned Andrew Sullivan and Subramanian Moonesamy (aka SM) as your 
intrepid chairs. Andrew has been chairing DNSEXT for quite some time, 
and SM has chaired YAM, is the fearless leader of the Apps Area 
Directorate (nee Review Team), and is WG secretary for HYBI, so I think 
both are well suited to keeping everybody inside the lines of an 
extremely tightly scoped charter. Please welcome them, and let's get 
some good work done together by staying focused on the work at hand. We 
all understand that there is some history of contentiousness in this 
area, so remaining professional and calm will be very helpful. If there 
are problems, don't yell about them on the list; take them to the chairs 
or, exceptionally, to me.

pr

Perhaps an analysis of the ecological impact of additions to charters and 
specification of material that is redundant, obvious or otherwise useless?

Extra words mean extra paper.  They also reduce the information salience of the 
document.  That is, it makes it harder to find the parts that /are/ imporant. 
No doubt there are other implications.

Dear colleagues,

Our AD (Pete), SM and I had a chat about ensuring that this Working
Group stays focussed and on-charter.  I'm summarizing for the list.
I'm sure they'll correct me if I fail to make anything clear.

This WG has, to its great advantage, a tightly-scoped charter and
clear tasks.  I know that we, all of us, are keen to bring the work to
a speedy and satisfactory conclusion.  At the same time, we are all
aware that we are discussing a contentious topic, that there were some
very strong passions about the topic in the past, and that there
remain both strong arguments and strong feelings about topic.

The IETF has open processes and an open culture.  Moreover, decisions
are supposed to be taken (or at least explicitly ratified) on the
mailing list.  This all means that anyone can participate just by
joining the list; they often do, and otherwise have little interaction
with the IETF or the people who participate in it frequently.  That
brings the great benefit of ensuring that every relevant perspective
and talent may be brought to bear on a hard problem.  It also brings a
cost, because participants must discipline themselves to be measured
in what they say, to be even-handed and fair, and not to drift
off-topic.  Sometimes people don't do one (or all) of these things,
and behaviour on the list (or even in a face to face meeting) becomes
boorish or hostile.  There is, of course, more than one way to exhibit
that behaviour, but whether it is outright maliciousness or snide
condescension, it is not acceptable in this WG.

As Chris Lewis said on another list recently, "Anyone can have a bad
day and fail in one way or the other."  I'd hate to count how many
times I have had such a day.  But as Chris equally noted, consistent
patterns of bad behaviour are not to be tolerated from any WG
participant.  SM and I are determined to ensure that this WG conduct
itself in a civilized, though no less rigorous, way.

We intend to use the available issue tracker as much as possible in
order to keep discussion on a given issue as tightly focussed as
possible.  We encourage participants to govern themselves as much as
possible, and particularly suggest that if you feel strongly when
composing a mail you might want to wait a few minutes and re-read your
remarks before sending them.  Put yourself in the other person's
shoes, and try to understand another's point of view before dismissing
it rudely.  Remember, also, that your interlocutor might not be a
long-time participant in the IETF and might not recognize that you're
merely having a bad day; or equally that your interlocutor might not
be familiar with something you know, and that it therefore is your
responsibility to present your evidence clearly, concisely,
completely, and once.  Finally, it's important to remember that
sometimes others just disagree with you; "rough consensus" means that
your views might be rejected by everyone else, and in that case you
need to accede gracefully.  This is all just a reminder of things we
all already know.

At the same time, SM and I draw to your attention RFC 2418
(particularly section 3.3) and RFC 3834 (particularly section 2).
We'd hate to be in the position of having to exercise any of the more
draconian procedures, and we thank you in advance for not causing that
to happen. 

Best regards,

A

Dear Dave,

No one denies email confronts significant levels of abuse, however other 
services respond by establishing safe and efficient cryptographic 
authentications compliant with Today's Internet.

SPF path authorizations employ recipient resources processing macros 
defined in a draft that never reached consensus within an IETF Marid WG 
prior to closure.  Initial drafts proposed XML encoded 2KB resource 
records without limit, modified to tag/value text with 20 deep recursion 
limits, and modified again to limits of 10 macro mechanisms with each 
allowing 10 subsequent DNS transactions just prior to the closure.  
Although some progress being made, the closure seemed related to a lack 
of consensus about whether SMTP Mail From parameter rewriting or PRA 
algorithm would facilitate unauthorized path refusal.

The concern expressed was to ensure the WG charter was not seen as 
endorsing the current scheme that allows 200 directed DNS transactions 
reflected against non-existent resources.  Comments about the charter 
were to highlight potential concerns admittedly unlikely to directly 
impact SMTP, but were about the granting of unknown entities poorly 
constrained access to recipient resources.

A WG outcome based upon realistic assessment of SPF's current utility 
and related risks is welcome.  Introducing limits on the number of DNS 
Name or No Data errors will not impact how SPF might be used, only how 
it might be abused.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

Dear colleagues,

Because we are the SPFBIS Working Group, SM and I believe that our
first order of business is to collect the issues with RFC 4408.  We
believe we have a way to collect them.  (Credit where it's due: this
was SM's idea.  I just think it's a great one and wholeheartedly
support it.  He's on vacation, so I'm posting the mail.)

We request that WG participants each perform a review of RFC 4408.
This review may be of the document alone, or if you like also with
reference to experience with it.  Please post your review to the
mailing list.

We ask that nobody debate the merits of anyone's review, and indeed
that nobody respond in any way to anyone else's review.  Just review
the document without reference to the rest of the WG.  This is
important as a procedural matter: discussions of the various reviews
is out of bounds.  Please don't give into the temptation.

SM and I will collect the reviews, and pull out every issue we see.
We will then create one issue ticket in the tracker, once it is
available, for every issue we identify.  At this point, of course,
debate will be necessary because it's entirely likely that SM and I
will miss something or get our categorization wrong.  But this
approach will ensure that we are always talking about specific issues
when we have that debate, and that we'll all be working from the
collected reviews that have been posted.

We'd like to set a deadline for the reviews of two weeks; so we will
close the queue for reviews at 00:00 on 18 February.  We understand
that, with the WG just having been chartered, that may be too
optimistic.  If this is too soon for you, please let SM and me know,
and we'll adjust the deadline.  We'd like to use the results of this,
however, as the basis for further work and for a meeting session in
Paris, so we request that you try not to let it linger too long.

Best regards,

A

Andrew,

Welcome and good luck.  Glad to see the substance of your message.

Chris' postings was a formal notification to the Repute working grooup.  I put 
it up on the wiki for that working group:

    <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/repute/trac/wiki>

It might be worth considering development of standard language for working 
groups to use.  (The draft we wrote for Repute had that goal, but I've no doubt 
it needs modification.)

We have a "Note Well" system with respect to policies, procedures and 
notification of IPR issues.  We probably ought to develop the same thing for 
participation rules.

Dear colleagues,

One of our tasks as a WG is to bring to an end the experiment started
by RFC 4408 and other documents published at the same time.

To that end, your chairs would like evidence about the results of the
experiment.  

Note that we are asking specifically for evidence; evidence of
effectiveness and, particularly, evidence in respect of relative
effectiveness between SPF and Sender-ID would be extremely helpful.
This would all be evidence gleaned from operational experience with
one or more of the published RFCs.

This is _not_ a request for an analysis of that evidence, or any sort
of meta-commentary on it.  It is especially not a request for any
analysis of the differences nor any architecural commentary on how one
or the other would work under this or that condition.  It's just
straight actual from-the-field evidence: this is an empirical
experiment, and therefore we want empirical data.

Please post anything you have to the list.  We ask that participants
not discuss the different observations that are posted; if you have
different evidence to offer, please just post it without regard to
others' postings.  Thank you.

Best regards,

A

It might be, yes, and I think it would be an excellent idea to
pursue.  I'm not sure what list to use for it, although I am sure that
it's not this one :-)

I should have been clear: I didn't mean to exclude the errata from

It was never clear to me what the experiment was supposed to be, so I've no 
idea what evidence would be appropriate.  Ultimately, I think Sender ID has 
been replaced by DKIM and that SPF and DKIM are complementary technolgies, so 
I'm not sure how to reply.

Can we get away with:

The SPF/Sender ID experiment was overtaken by the development of DK/DKIM and 
so Sender ID is obsoleted by those other technologies?

TempError is defined in RFC 4408 as:

2.5.6. TempError


   A "TempError" result means that the SPF client encountered a
   transient error while performing the check.  Checking software can
   choose to accept or temporarily reject the message.  If the message
   is rejected during the SMTP transaction for this reason, the software
   SHOULD use an SMTP reply code of 451 and, if supported, the 4.4.3 DSN
   code.

This is further specified in the check_host() definition:

4.4. Record Lookup


   In accordance with how the records are published (see Section 3.1
   above), a DNS query needs to be made for the <domain> name, querying
   for either RR type TXT, SPF, or both.  If both SPF and TXT RRs are
   looked up, the queries MAY be done in parallel.

   If all DNS lookups that are made return a server failure (RCODE 2),
   or other error (RCODE other than 0 or 3), or time out, then
   check_host() exits immediately with the result "TempError".

Particularly when querying for SPF records of type SPF, persistent 2 ServFail 
results are not rare.  It is my impression that ServFail is a condition that 
generally will require operator intervention to correct.

The definition of PermError is (partly):

2.5.7. PermError


   A "PermError" result means that the domain's published records could
   not be correctly interpreted.  This signals an error condition that
   requires manual intervention to be resolved, as opposed to the
   TempError result.

I think that RCODE 2 replies should be considered PermError instead of 
TempError.  

The operational impact of this is that messages are deferred (4xx) instead of 
rejected (5xx) so they sit in a deferral queue and are retried for however 
long the sending MTA is configured to attempt it.  The user of the message 
isn't notified of the non-delivery until it expires out of the queue, generally 
after several days.

In the SPF policy server for Postfix that I maintain, I changed the default 
action on TempError from defer as a result of this issue.

I would also add that I see the overall experiment process as being 
defined by its purpose, its ability to meet its purpose and finally its 
success in adoption by the Internet community.

In the case of purpose, perhaps simply domain name reputation protection 
through a process which defines simply how domain name holders can 
explicitly declare from what MTAs that email represented as being sent 
from their domain may be sent.

In the case of meeting its purpose, does SPF adequately address its 
purpose?  In most cases, yes.  In our own experience, absolutely yes.

Finally, adoption by the community.  Arguably, SPF is one of the more 
widely adopted facilities for achieving its stated purpose.

Arguably, the SPF experiment has gone well for its implementers.

I also agree with Scott's assertion that SPF and DKIM are complementary 
technologies.

The simplest form of experimental question could be:

1. Has the world essentially dropped one of these (or both).

Clearly spf is still heavily used, so this translates into whether there remains 
significant support for Sender-ID.  I believe the answer is no, but I don't any 
empirical basis for this.


A more elaborate question could be:

2. Are there features from one that gained support and would be worth merging 
into the other?

Given my own answer to #1, above, that translates into "Are there parts of 
Sender-ID worth salvaging?"

Given the narrow scope, it is likely that any items deems reasonable to merge 
into SPF will have to wait for a later SPFbisbis effort, but it could be worth 
documenting.


Of general interest would be:

3. Document the deployment experiences of using SPF and/or Sender-ID.

This would be a plusses and minuses history.

While I explicitly asked that the experiment evidence not include
meta-analysis, commentary, and so on, and that it only have empirical
evidence of whatever kind, I think Scott Kitterman's point is a
reasonable one: "The question is wrong."

Therefore, this subthread is for "The question is wrong" responses.
If you just want to say "+1" that's ok with me.  If you want to
outline the ways in which you think the question is wrong or the
experiment was flawed, that's ok with me too.  Please do not add
commentary about others' remarks, however, just as I originally
asked.  We're _collecting_ right now, not analyzing.

Thanks,

A

Dear colleagues,

For the purposes of this collection exercise, any of the questions
Dave outlines below, or indeed any other question you think has been
answered by the experiment, is a fine one.  The constraint is that you
have to have empirical evidence of some kind.  Note the distinction
Dave usefully makes in his (1): "I believe the answer is no, but I
don't any empirical basis for this."  (Thank you for making the
distinction, Dave.)  We will have opportunities later to discuss
beliefs, conclusions, and so on.  But right now, it's important that
we collect whatever empirical evidence we have, however sketchy, and
do it with as little bias as we can.

I am sometimes willing to discuss experimental metholology to the
point that your ears bleed.  It was once one of my areas of
specialization.  But for right now, we need to focus on such empirical
evidence as we can scare up.

Thanks,

A

Dear colleagues,

We were chartered after the meeting slot request deadline, but I have
since asked for a slot anyway.  Here's what I asked for (pasted
directly from the mail I sent to the agenda people):

    2 hours (Â± 30 mins is ok, but this is a first meeting and a
    contentious topic.)

    50 people (we're guessing.  Probably REPUTE in Taipei would be a
    reasonable comparison.)

    conflicts1: appsawg, dane, dnsext, dnsop, eai, marf, precis, repute,
    sieve, hybi

    conflicts2: alto, behave, homenet, iri, mif, oauth, pkix

If you have objections or, in particular, if I've missed something
really obvious in the conflicts (I'd be astonished if I hadn't),
please let me know as soon as possible.

Thanks,

A

[Speaking without hats]

Point of clarification: In addition to wanting some "empirical basis" 
for whether there remains significant support for Sender-ID, I think we 
also want some specifics (i.e., empirical basis) for how "clearly spf is 
still heavily used". That is, I think we want the 
result-of-the-experiment document to actually say how much deployment 
there is of each technology, and what kind of deployments. It doesn't 
have to be extensive, but I think we do want the document to have some 
numbers.

Agreed on these.

I imagine to the IESG at the time, the "experiment" was the simultaneous de=
ployment of the two technologies (or perhaps more accurately, their simulta=
neous release into the wild as experimental RFCs) and an observation of the=
 impacts of doing so.  The issue they had, as I recall, was that the two te=
chnologies acted based on the same signal from the purported sender (the SP=
F record), but could (often, in theory) reach different conclusions.  It wa=
s this collision that caused them not to release either as Proposed Standar=
d, and add the IESG Note to all four documents.

Thus to my mind, resolving the "experiment" itself involves questions such =
as these:

1) Was this simultaneous deployment harmful, as the IESG feared?

2) Do SPF and Sender-ID actually come to similar or equal conclusions most =
of the time?  Or perhaps more generally, how often do they disagree?

...and then one of:

3a) If they are essentially or even approximately the same, which one is si=
mpler and thus merits advancement?
=09
3b) If they are essentially or even approximately the same, which one is mo=
re widely deployed and thus worth standardization?

I have opinions about all of these except (2), which requires a lot of coll=
ected data to answer.  I'll know sometime this weekend if my own data colle=
cted about DKIM happens to include SPF and Sender-ID data so that I could o=
ffer an answer (hopefully one of several such data sets).

The report came back earlier than I expected.

In 95.51% of the cases for which I have both SPF and Sender-ID data (only a=
bout 125k messages), the two agreed (i.e., both passed or neither passed).

I'm quite sure there are far larger data sets than the one I have, but I ho=
pe that gets us started.

I think this is a difficult task to complete given the fact that it's impos=
sible to tell from random polling whether a given site, sending or receivin=
g, has deployed either technology.  We'd have to rely on a survey of some k=
ind, which necessarily makes some guesses about the masses that don't submi=

I have a data collection effort underway at Hotmail that should wrap up aro=
und late March and will share the data with this list.

I agree with Murray that deployment will be hard to gauge, but it will be e=
asy to compare the results of both methods against the same message, for a =
huge volume of mail with a very large number of unique sending domains over=
 a reasonably long period of time.

In my opinion the true purpose of the experiment was to determine which met=
hod produced a measurable advantage in robust determination of path authori=
zation. When it is shown that both ended up doing pretty much the same thin=
g, there should be little reasonable resistance to taking the simplest most=
 expedient path forward.

Hopefully others will share data as well.

I mention a rather large set of data being accumulated in another message t=
o the list.

Analysis of smaller data sets supports Murray's ~95% value. I've just taken=
 to saying >95% of the time SPF and SenderID do the same thing. I'll add a =
few other bits of information to the analysis but that'll just be additiona=
l color (e.g. PRA breakdowns, comparison to MailFrom, etc.)

The report came back earlier than I expected.

In 95.51% of the cases for which I have both SPF and Sender-ID data (only a=
bout 125k messages), the two agreed (i.e., both passed or neither passed).

I'm quite sure there are far larger data sets than the one I have, but I ho=
pe that gets us started.

Yes, it is much easier to sample the published policies base.
http://eggert.org/meter/spf.html and http://spf-all.com/ come to mind.

For checking, besides Murray's collected data for DKIM, there is
Google's DMARC reporting.  It allows, among other things, to count
failing spf checks for messages naively forwarded to gmail accounts,
e.g., presumably for messages I sent to this or similar list, I got:

      <spf>
        <domain>ietf.org</domain>
        <result>hardfail</result>
      </spf>

Another way to get numbers on checking results is to extract them from
our own log files, where we know how we check SPF on incoming
messages.  That is obviously skewed, but can provide a trend.  Worth?

Errata exist and should be addresses in RFC 4408bis.

http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4408
http://www.openspf.net/RFC_4408/Errata

All of these, except one, are addressed in my draft that was the input draft 
for this working group:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-kitterman-4408bis/

One didn't seem to have an obvious resolution, so I brought it up for review 
on the spf-discuss list late last year:

http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/735/2011/10/sort/time_rev/page/1/entry/19:26/20111024163756:0CD3E470-
FE80-11E0-89F0-A0E3D75F85EF/

You can look through the list archives and judge for yourself, but I think the 
rough consensus there favored option 1.  I think this is the right resolution.

Shortly after RFC 4408 was released several SPF implementers collaborated on a 
test suite to validate RFC 4408 conformance.  Through this effort, a number of 
ambiguities were identified in RFC 4408.  These ambiguities are documented as 
comments in the test suite.  Those that were consdidered important for 
interoperability were documented as errata.  Others were not.

The SPF test suite comments should be reviewed for non-errata comments and the 
ambiguity should be resolved or at least documented, since these don't seem to 
have an affect on interoperability, resolution is not essential.

http://www.openspf.net/auth/Test_Suite

As you can see from http://www.openspf.net/Implementations this test suite has 
been used by at least 4 different implementations.  

Additionally, the test suite documents common understanding if defined inputs 
and outputs, so it's a useful resource for the group to resolve any new 
concerns about uncertainty in the spec.

Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on 02/01/2012 08:15 PM, Douglas Otis
would write:
> An SPF ‘mx’ or ‘ptr’ mechanism limit corresponds to a ten times
> greater number of DNS resource record resolutions.
Actually, the PTR mechanism is essentially "free" for SPF DoS concerns
in that it has already been resolved and cached by the MTA. 

Doug has several valid points:

1. Each uncached MX query served by an attacker's DNS can result in 10
uncached A record queries by a 3rd party triggered via SMTP.   RFC4408
limits each SMTP transaction to 10 DNS oriented mechanisms, so with one
SMTP MAIL FROM (or HELO) transaction and 10 uncached MX queries served,
an attacker can trigger 100 uncached A queries by a 3rd party (the MTA). 

2. The macro features allow an attacker to vary the domains with each
SMTP MAIL FROM or HELO transaction to prevent caching.  (By
"transaction" I mean sending the TCP packet with the MAIL FROM or HELO
command, and receiving the response so as to enable the next transaction.)

3. The victim of the A record queries will only see the IPs of
legitimate MTAs, obscuring the perpetrator.

The MX mechanism is not going away for 4408bis.

Neither are the macro features.

The next working group (for spf3 or whatever) can consider such surgery:
for example removing the MX mechanism, or simply counting each MX record
as an A mechanism for processing limit purposes.

And again, SMTP enabled DoS does not require SPF.  For example,  with
IP6 - just connect from random IP6 ips, and serve a big list of PTR
records with names in your targets DNS when the MTA tries to identify
the connect IP, none of which match your random IP.  In my opinion,
replacing SMTP would be a better use of energy than trying to stop
deployment of IP6 or SPF (replacing SMTP gets rid of SPF as a bonus!).

<http://eggert.org/meter/spf.html>

I believe Lars had nothing to do with SPF development or any of the related 
technologies. That is, I believe he qualifies as an independent source.

The URL has more detail, but he cites 65% global deployment.

there is one item that I think may be important related to SENDER-ID 
from the standpoint of RFC 4405 SUBMITTER SMTP Extension.

To begin the WG spec discussions, I was going to propose the following 
to modify section 4.1:

4.1.  Arguments

    The check_host() function takes these arguments:

    <ip>     - the IP address of the SMTP client that is emitting the
               mail, either IPv4 or IPv6.

    <domain> - the domain that provides the sought-after authorization
               information; initially, the domain portion of the "MAIL
               FROM" or "HELO" identity.

    [submitter] - RFC 4409, SUBMITTER keyword passed to the "MAIL FROM"

but then I though it may not fit the charter with the way SENDER-ID is 
discussed.

Background:

In our implementation, if the SUBMITTER keyword is provided to the 
MAIL FROM, it is passed to our SPF implementation check_host() function:

   result = check_host(ip, domain [, submitter])

The tie-in, even for the SPF implementator who may not directly 
support SENDER-ID, it could be supporting RFC 4405 because it is a 
SMTP level protocol and it allows SMTP systems the NON-PAYLOAD 
affordability to support SENDER-ID indirectly.

In my opinion, I think it has technical and operational merit to 
consider how implementations has supported SENDER-ID via the SUBMITTER 
keyword.

However, the charter does ring with the idea that the industry are no 
longer interested in SENDER-ID. I don't think we can make that 
decision for anyone. Perhaps a statement should be added to the 
charter or revised it to clarify the lack of WG consideration for 
SENDER-ID does not imply it is no longer supported and that RFC4405 
MAY be supported via SPF-BIS.

If anything, the check_host() arguments SHOULD be changed to be 
flexible with optional parameters and not locked in and using RFC4405 
is a valid technical rational as an example optional parameter without 
having to introduce SENDER-ID discussions.

This may need a charter change/adjustment, but I would like to 
proposed section 4.1 be updated to support RFC 4405 by adding an 
optional [submitter] argument to the check_host() function model:

     4.1.  Arguments

     The check_host() function takes these arguments:

     <ip>     - the IP address of the SMTP client that is emitting the
                mail, either IPv4 or IPv6.

     <domain> - the domain that provides the sought-after authorization
                information; initially, the domain portion of the "MAIL
                FROM" or "HELO" identity.

|   [submitter] - RFC4409, SUBMITTER keyword passed to the "MAIL FROM"


Our SMTP server does not directly support SENDER-ID. However, our SPF 
implementation indirectly supports SENDER-ID via the RFC4405 SUBMITTER 
keyword, if any. Our SPF check_host() process model is:

     result = check_host(ip, domain [, submitter])

IMO, while we may not to get into SENDER-ID discussions for SPFBIS, 
the WG should not exclude the possibility for any industry support for 
SUBMITTER and it should be discussed as as realistic possibility to be 
part of the check_host() arguments.  If you agree, it should be 
included in updating SPF-BIF.

Unfortunately, it is now too late to make changes to the charter
without undertaking a WG rechartering exercise.  I'd like to ask
everyone to close this thread, please.

We've decided to begin the WG discssions a different way.  Please see
the threads about this I kicked off on Friday.  Perhaps your
suggestions could be made as part of a review, or else perhaps you
have some evidence about the experiment you wish to share.

Please see the thread asking for evidence about the experiment.

The problem that was widespread at the time of the introduction of SPF 
-- the joe-job has ceased to be an issue (as far as I am concerned). I 
feel that SPF has contributed to the ending of that particular scourge.

However, the scarcity of deployed SRS (Sender Rewriting Scheme) 
implementations remains a barrier today to more widespread use of 
hardfail in SPF. This also extends to some (social) websites which send 
email to your 'friends' and forge it to come from you.

I suggest that WG participants include comments about the above as 
part of their review of RFC 4408 if they believe that it is relevant.

>http://www.openspf.net/auth/Test_Suite

The above link is not publicly accessible.

As the content of the message was labelled as a RFC 4408 issue, it 
will be tracked as an issue.

I will be opening an issue for each erratum ( 
http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4408 ).

Hi Stuart,

Andrew Sullivan posted a message, as WG co-chair, about changes to 
the WG charter ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00280.html 
).  I suggest opening a new thread for your review of RFC 4408.

At 06:18 PM 2/4/2012, Stuart Gathman wrote:

As the WG is working on RFC 4408, this is the time to request changes 
to the SPF specification.

Dear colleagues,

This is not to pick on Philip Gladstone, but to remind everyone that
what we're looking for is empirical evidence.  What we need are actual
observations of SPF deployment.  The first paragraph above gives an
evaluation of what SPF did, and the second paragraph has a claim about
an SPF dependency.  How unused is hardfail in SPF?  (Whether that is
because of the reason offered or another one is a separate question,
and not a matter of evidence.)

Please restrict your postings in this thread to empirical evidence.

Thanks,

A

Paul Midgen mentioned that he can share some data with the working 
group ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00271.html 
).  Such information is useful for the work on the document which 
concludes the Sender-ID and SPF experiments.  I'll quote part of 
Andrew's message ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00255.html ):

   "This is _not_ a request for an analysis of that evidence, or any sort
    of meta-commentary on it.  It is especially not a request for any
    analysis of the differences nor any architecural commentary on how one
    or the other would work under this or that condition.  It's just
    straight actual from-the-field evidence: this is an empirical
    experiment, and therefore we want empirical data."

Saying that SPF or Sender-ID has contributed to solve X is not empirical data.

Scott Kitterman posted the following comment ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00258.html ):

   "It was never clear to me what the experiment was supposed to be,
    so I've no idea what evidence would be appropriate."

There are different ways to assess the experiments.  The working 
group can consider the number of implementations, it can consider 
deployment, e.g. DNS records for Sender-ID and SPF, or the problems 
the experiments sought to address.  There will be ample opportunity 
to discuss about which metric to use.  For now, if you think that you 
have data which is relevant, post it to the list.

I have an archive of ~280,000 SPF records from the Alexa top 1M web=20

Note that the vast majority of '+' is implicit. Also, I have eliminated=20
the infrequent checks -- there is a fair amount of garbage in these=20

garbage in the table above.

If I put it in terms of:

Before I deployed an SPF record ending in -all (fail), on my personal domains 
I used to get dozens to hundreds of bounce back emails from joe job attempts 
on and almost daily bases.

Within a few months of deploying this record the level of traffic dropped to 
essentially nothing and it's been years since I recall getting a single such 
message.

Is that empirical data (that was my experience as a small domain owner and I 
suspect similar to Phil's)?

It's not used at all, since there's no such thing as hardfail in SPF.  I think 
being careful and precise about language in this discussion is important.

t not the question of resolution of the experiment declared by the IESG (or=
, at least, not directly).  In particular, it makes no statement about whet=
her or not Sender-ID had or would have had the same or similar impact.

That's true, but there's no way to go back and tell.  I think it is useful on 
the basis of the idea that got suggested here somewhere that if they both 
work, we should just use the simpler one (SPF).  That thought can be extended 
to, if SPF works, we should just use it.  Unless there's a showing of superior 
efficacy of some kind, there's no reason to take on the inherent technical and 
IPR complexities of Sender-ID.

Over the last 4 days, I see 57 IP addresses forwarding emails that were 
originated from my domain. I *think* that all of these are actually 
valid forwards (but not doing the appropriate SRS rewriting), though I 
suspect that there are implementation problems in certain SPF 
implementations.

For example,

98.136.219.60: ostmaster
98.138.215.201: ostmaster
98.138.91.117: postmaster
98.138.91.60: postmaster
98.139.165.31: ostmaster
98.139.165.55: ostmaster

This says that the addresses forwarded mail from postmaster@mydomain and 
ostmaster@mydomain. I suspect that the 'ostmaster' is a bug in the 
evaluation of the %{l1r-} macro.

I also see

209.68.2.48: bounces.wxqc

This indicates that (probably) wxqc-bounces was the originator and the 
%{l1r-} did not get evaluated correctly (two components were returned)

128.186.98.3: ouncces.wxqc

This is weirdest -- it looks like another bug. (I see this particular 
error from two other IPs as well.

As I understand it, security considerations aren't generally supposed to give 
normative protocol implementations constraints, but the processing limits in 
paragraph 10.1 of RFC 4408 does exactly this.

While the technical limits themselves are appropriate, paragraph 10.1 should 
be split into two parts.  The actual processing limits should find a home in 
the main body of the specification and then a revised security consideration 
should focus on a clearer discussion about why they are important and why one 
should design records the minimize DNS impact.

+1

There are some (security and other) folks who believe that it is entirely 
acceptable to have normative statements in the security considerations section.

I'm not one of them.  I think that a Considerations section is an adjunct to the 
actual specification and that format, protocol, configuration and operations 
normative statements should be in "specification" sections, distinct from 
analysis and 'considerations' section.

> I have an archive of ~280,000 SPF records


This prompts a question worth considering:


      Do we care about adoption via publication of SPF records, versus adoption 
via evaluation of SPF records?


It's trivial to publish a record, but it does still take the decision and some 
effort.  So knowledge of publication percentages is helpful.

In contrast, it is rather expensive to start paying attention to SPF records on 
the receive side, since it requires extra software AND requires additional 
policy decisions.   That is, how should the additional information be /used/?

Adoption by publication is important, of course, but it only represents an 
inexpensive hope of utility.

Adoption by evaluation is, IMO, the critical information.

This highlights a very basic and very serious problem we are faced with: 
guessing what the IESG wanted.

Absent a clear statement, how can we know we are satisfying the requirement to 
comment on the 'experiment'?  We do not even know what it was or was supposed to be.

All of that is true, but it is also futile: "the IESG" is not the same
body it was then, and anyway asking people about what their intentions
were in the past is not likley to yield a proposition amenable to
verification.  

Speaking only for myself for a moment, this is actually why I think we
want anything that resembles empirical evidence about any of this
experiment.  If we are to go to the rest of the IETF and say, "We
believe this experiment is over," people will be right to ask what
basis we have for that assertion.  We don't know what the experimental
terms are, but we can point to such evidence as we have and say that
it seems to demonstrate [insert our conclusions here]. 

Speaking as chair again, I strongly discourage us to attempt to work
out what the experimental purpose was.  It's too bad nobody wrote it
down at the time.  But they didn't, and we have to live with that fact
of the world.  The lack of experimental goals, however, is indeed why
we have a thread for complaints that we cannot tell what would qualify
as evidence about the experiment.

Best,

A

In light of Andrews comments, I would recommend that we not spend any
time considering SenderID. Based on the results we cans imply say that
it failed to gain traction in the wild (particularly from a receiver
evaluation side) and leave it at that. The working group charter is
focused on SPF and NOT SenderID.

What evidence would you present to support that claim?

We need to do better than anecdotal, I believe.

The only significant receiver that I am aware of that validates
SenderID is Microsoft and they are supportive of SPF as part of DMARC
looking forward. I'll flip it around. if someone or someones want to
come forward and argue that SenderID has a thriving  implementer base
then I'd love to see the list.

You missed the (implied) point in my first statement. SenderID is out
of scope for the charter of the SPFbis working group. If others wish
to then they can seek to form a SenderIDbis working group. I am not
recommending this, just pointing out that this group does not have an
obligation to speak to that experiement. My comment about SenderID
adoption should really be considered as an aside.

I don't think it's reasonable to ask anyone to prove a negative.

I disagree.  The IESG Note attached to both Sender ID and SPF indicates tha=
t the two are in direct conflict, which is why both were relegated to Exper=
imental status.  If I were on the IESG that will receive this working group=
's documents and that issue had been completely ignored or only marginally =
addressed, I would object to the documents' advancement.

I don't think this is a way out.  We need to answer the question one way or=
 another.  It's in our charter.

Let me try again.  We are attempting to determine, in the present
stage, _what those results are_ and not what they mean.  We need to
collect the data before we can analyze it.  We cannot throw away one
pile of evidence on the basis that we already know what the answer is.

This is certainly true, but given that they were both released at the
same time using the same facilities on the Internet, it is going to be
hard to move ahead without making a determination about the way these
things interacted with one another.

Best regards,

I concur, and in fact was mostly interested in highlighting that casting any of 
this in terms of what "the IESG" wants or wanted will not be productive. However 
some of the discussion has attempted to presume what was being requested by the 
IESG.

The history of this activity is an 'experiment' only in the sense of 
test-marketing.  Seeing whether something will be a success in the market.  Of 
course, there can be many interesting questions about what it means to be a 
success, including comparative worth between competing solutions.

So, really, my core point is that we need to agree on what questions we need to 
answer.  Any empirical data could be helpful, but without specific questions 
that we agree need to be answered the degree of utility will be accidental.

I originally posted some suggested questions for us to answer.  You and others 
have posted additional questions.  All look interesting, but we probably should 
prune the set to a few basic issues that could help with strategic choices.

I'm clearly having a bad chair day, because I'm having a devil of a
time getting this point across.  While I agree that it would be
considerably easier to prune the questions we think we're trying to
answer, I believe that we might face hard questions later if we
exclude some classes of evidence from consideration or if we decide
too early to rule some question out of consideration.  That is why
(despite it going against everything in my personal make-up) I have
been resisting trying to shape the question too much in this initial
round.  

I know that there are many people who may find this approach
frustrating or annoying, or who might think that this is simply a
waste of time.  It seems to me, however, that we are less likely to
overlook something during our evaluation if we have collected as much
as possible from the beginning.

Had the "experiment" actually contained any sort of statement about
what propositions were under test, I would likely urge a different
evaluation methodology.  But it didn't, so I didn't.

Best regards,

A

I leave it to others then to provide data on SenderID.

I'm not saying throw away a pile of evidence on the basis that we
already know what the answer is. I'm saying that data regarding
SenderID and the success or failure of THAT experiment is generally
orthogonal to the SPF experiment and it's success or failure in the
wild. SenderID data should only be of interest regarding the SPF
experiment to the extent that such data directly impacts discussion of
the success or failure (empirically) of the SPF experiment. At the
close of the MARID working group there were basically two competing
camps - each supporting one of the specs. I was lukewarm towards
SenderID but found it unacceptable because a flaw in the PRA algorithm
(related to use of the Sender field) allowed malicious emails to
consistently get a neutral even for domains publishing a -all.

Dear SPFBIS Working Group,

If WG participants believe that there are or there will be two 
competing camps here, I suggest that they give the matter some more 
thought.  We have a charter which spells out the working group 
deliverables.  My WG co-chair has already explained that we are asking for:

  (i)  Reviews of RFC 4408

  (ii) Experimental evidence

I would like to see some focus here instead of discussions about 
issues, how to conclude the experiments or what the IESG wants.  Some 
of you may view the questions as fuzzy.  I would like to be able to say:

   The Working Group has carefully considered this matter and took the
   following decision.

It will take us longer to get to that point if we start with 
open-ended discussions.  I understand that some WG participants might 
not be familiar with the IETF process.  We are also here to explain 
the non-technical details.  Please post your questions to this 
mailing list or to either of the WG co-chairs.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
SPFBIS WG co-chair

As has been pointed out, the IESG that added the Note Well to those other d=
ocuments isn't the IESG we have today.  But really, all that matters is the=
 IESG we have today (or, at least, the one that will review the output of t=
his working group).

Thus, would it be beneficial to ask the current IESG what it thinks the exp=
eriment is or was, or what they'd like to see from us in terms of a resolut=
ion?  Since they're the ones that get to decide, maybe they're the ones we =
should ask.

I think we are going in that direction, though it's very early in that proc=
ess.  The request for RFC4408 reviews is quite clear, but the request for e=
vidence of the results of the experiment isn't answerable without understan=
ding exactly what we think the experiment was, and that currently seems to =
be an open-ended question.  Otherwise, I think we need some pretty specific=

This is why I am asking for a consensus or a call by the chairs that
the item (ii) Experimental evidence presented should be constrained by
item  (i)  Reviews of RFC 4408 and the fact that RFC 4408 is the focus
of this working group. There were in fact two concurrent experiments.
The charter of the group does not include RFC 4406 or RFC 4407.

It's an IESG Note.  The Note Well is about IETF Contributions.

I don't think you'll get the answer you are waiting for. :-)

What answer do you think I'm waiting for?

It's clear that any answer is better than guessing, and that my guess is di=
fferent than those of others.

On the contrary, the charter lists as our first milestone:

     Aug 2012:    A document describing the SPF/Sender-ID experiment
             and its conclusions to the IESG for publication.

That clearly involves RFCs 4406 and 4407, because they defined Sender-ID, a=
nd all three of them included the IESG Note, which created the experiment (=
and without clearly defining it, as Andrew pointed out).

How about this - can we look at the "experiment" from an MTA adoption 
standpoint.

There are a number of well known SMTP/POP server applications that exist 
on various OS platforms out there.

Can we easily determine how many of these (both Open Source and 
Commercially paid for products) actually support SPF vs SenderID as a 
measure of success of one vs the other?

It would at least offer an answer as to the success of the experiment 
from an MTA implementer standpoint in software which seemingly most 
benefits from SPF or SenderID.

 From an adopter point of view, I could offer yet another anecdotal 
story regarding SPF, but I'm guessing our Chair might be unhappy, so for 
these, probably the only thing we can do is reach out to those who have 
done some independent research from DNS servers as to the adoption of 
SPF RR and TXT RRs which contain the SPF v1 marker.

In a strange sense, I suppose the support for and implementation of the 
SPF RR in DNS itself might be considered something of a win for the SPF 
experiment.

Best,

Alan M

   More exactly, it's doubtful he'd get _any_ timely answer.

   Any AD can add a Management Item for such a request. Depending on
how full a particular IESG agenda is, it may or may not get discussion.
Either way, they look for one AD to take an action item to draft a
reply. In this case, that pretty much means Pete Resnick or Barry
Leiba. I don't think either of them would volunteer.

   If some AD does volunteer, it's a seemingly random variable how
long it will take. Sometimes it's only two weeks; two months is
closer to the norm; both Barry and I have seen these items drag on
longer. Once a reply _is_ drafted, there's _always_ some AD that
thinks it needs changes.

   Lather, rinse, repeat.

   I suggest a different paradigm: assume the IESG would simply like
to see the Sender-ID experiment wrapped up, and they don't really
care all that much whether Sender-ID ever gets advanced to Proposed
Standard.

   Thus, they're likely to be happy with any justification we give
for declaring the Sender-ID experiment to be complete. Our problem
lies elsewhere: if we annoy the pro-Sender-ID folks too much, they'll
raise issues during LastCall of our document declaring Sender-ID to
have finished experimental stage. This could slow things considerably.

   All we really need out of this is to declare the Sender-ID use
of v=spf obsolete. To justify that, we need only prove that SPF use
of v=spf greatly exceeds Sender-ID use of it.

   I suggest we concentrate on gathering such evidence.

It tells me that may not exactly be a timely path to get some direction abo=

Having result names all lower case is all the rage these days, so we should 
probably downcase our result names.  This doesn't affect interoperability since 
the names are already case insensitive in the ABNF.  It's just a cosmetic 
update.

I agree, and that would make SPFbis and RFC5451 line up nicely.

There was a TV station in Chicago, many years ago, that would post a sign on the 
screen when it was having technical difficulties.  It showed a carton figure of 
a guy on a balcony, looking and pointing "away".  The caption read "It's not 
you.  It's not us.  It's THEM!".  Which is to say that, I think you're doing 
fine.  You've pressed for resolution of an important point.  It just happens to 
be one that is difficult, IMO.

I think the underlying problem here is our having to answer questions without 
our being told what they are.  Hence, we need to find out

And indeed, that ought to inform our pruning process.  But I suspect we can't do 
that without getting some interim review from the IESG.

My suggestion is that we try to formulate the questions that we think make sense 
to answer and then cycle them to the IESG for comment, before actually 
formulating answers.

So what are you are suggesting is "follow" what we wrote because I 
think its "prettier?" or maybe its bothering my "eyes" or its the 
"unix wienie" way?

Generally, there are strong ergonomics design principles between 
designers and thinks like "results" are highlighted, and since you 
can't make describe as  BOLD or ITALIC or UNDERLINE or colorize it in 
the spec, one good way is to UPPERCASE it.

So perhaps what is better is to write up something that suggest result 
names are designed to be highlighted in some form.

-1, keep it uppercase.

Sounds like material for a BCP.  There is also the difference between 
security concerns and optimization concerns.

However, if anything, there is a generalize guideline for DNS 
operators to define optimal SPF records where the intent is minimize 
any overhead.   For example, a classic example is one like gmail.com 
which is currently prepared for at least two (2) lookups since the 
first query result is an instruction to perform a redirect:

          v=spf1 redirect=_spf.google.com

With the volume of inbound gmail.com out there, can you imagine the 
immediate 1/2 reduction of DNS query overhead if the gmail folks 
changed it to a direct/single call?

In scanning RFC4408, I see a number of places where "may" is used, but in a=
ll-lowercase, presumably to avoid invoking its RFC2119 meaning.  We have ot=
her words like "can", "might", "could" that do a better job of avoiding amb=
iguity.  I suggest this be revisited in production of the -bis version.

In particular, the second paragraph of Section 1.2 can probably be simplifi=

This may be a can of worms,  but since we're chartered to tidy up where app=
ropriate, I wonder if this might be such a spot.

RFC4408 registered a new DNS RRtype, SPF, code 99.

Are we able to tell how much deployment it's received?  If only little (whi=
ch is what I suspect, but I've no data to back that up), would it be approp=
riate to relegate its discussion to an appendix and call it "historic"?

We should consider striking Section 7 and replacing it with a reference to =
RFC5451 with some reasonable but brief associated text.

With AD hat on.

Let me put a slightly happier spin on John's message, which I think is 
essentially correct.

So, let me say up front that I would immediately volunteer for this if 
asked. However, I don't think it's necessary.

I think if you ask for a *formal* answer, something like the above is 
likely to happen. Or worse, they'll say, "Pete, you obviously didn't 
scope the charter well enough. Go back to the group and recharter that 
section." If simply asked the question without pomp and circumstance, I 
think it slightly more likely that the IESG will come to me (probably 
not Barry; we spare the new guys crap until they ask for it ;-) ) and 
say, "We said what we wanted in the charter. It's your WG to manage; go 
give them an answer."

But really, the fact of the matter is that if you all come up with an 
interpretation of this sentence:

     The working group will produce a document describing the course of
     the SPF/Sender-ID experiment, thus bringing that experiment to a
     formal conclusion.

and that interpretation sounds reasonable to me (which we can determine 
now), when it comes time for Last Call/IESG Evaluation, I will make it 
quite clear to the IESG that the WG has fulfilled it's charter 
obligation. Yes, we can wring our hands about some AD coming out of the 
woodwork and disagreeing, but (a) I think the likelihood of that is 
exceedingly low, and (b) if we're going to worry about that, I can 
provide a much longer list to worry about too.

The fact is that the IESG thought the above sentence was sufficient to 
explain the deliverable. If we come up with a reasonable interpretation 
of that deliverable, we'll be fine and I will defend it to the hilt.

I think that's pretty much true, adding only, "the IESG would simply 
like to see the SPF *and* Sender-ID experiments wrapped up, and presumes 
that the charter is correct and the outcome of the experiment leads one 
to conclude that SPF should get advanced to Proposed Standard and 
Sender-ID should not".

Sure, with the caveat that the shepherd and/or I will be doing a 
document writeup, and (like the rest of the WG and the chairs, I hope) 
we will want to be able to document that the WG did its due diligence to 
come up with a justification for the conclusion of the experiment.

Similarly, due diligence should address the above as well.

This is why I like Andrew and SM's approach to this question: The WG was 
chartered on the assumption (see 1, 2, and 3 in the charter) that there 
exists community consensus that SPF has been more successfully deployed 
than Sender-ID and that therefore SPF should move forward and that no 
further work need be done on Sender-ID. The first order of business is 
to document that SPF *was* more successfully deployed than Sender-ID (by 
enumerating the amount of deployment of each and the "relative 
effectiveness" of each), and that's what I take Andrew to mean by 
providing "experimental evidence".

It would be exceedingly amusing were we to discover that there is *more* 
deployment of Sender-ID or that it has *more* relative effectiveness. We 
might decide to re-charter in that horrifyingly unlikely event. :-)

Assuming none of these very low likelihood events occurs, gathering data 
on how much and how effectively (relative to each other) SPF and 
Sender-ID got deployed seems like the right thing to be doing.

I don't see anything wrong with the above comment.

I would like to remind this working group that the WG Chairs have 
asked for reviews of RFC 4408.  Discussions or comments about the 
issues should be deferred for now.  The WG Chair will solicit 
comments about each issue in a couple of weeks.  Please be patient.

Not quite following. Including with your previous similar post, you 
seem to be providing the idea (all) posted "Issue" comments are being 
cataloged and will posted again later (by you) for RFC?

In case folks missed this, this is a general RFC-style issue that finally 
prompted a draft set of suggestions:

The WG Chairs asked for reviews of RFC 4408.  The issues identified 
in the reviews will be listed in the issue tracker.  We will then 
request the working group to comment on each issue.  Please note that 
the WG Chairs have not made any determination about whether an issue 
is valid or not valid or what is in scope.

If you have any questions above the above, feel free to send them to 
the list or to the WG co-chairs.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
SPFBIS WG co-chair

Yes.  We're treating the "Issue" comments as part of the reviews I
asked for last Friday.  When I posted that, I explicitly asked that
people not debate or discuss the reviews, but simply post their own
reviews.  SM and I will collate things into issues in the WG's issue
tracker, once that's up.

We're trying to break down the effort here into minimal steps, and
avoid going over the same ground repeatedly in the WG.  We thought a
good way to do this would be to get all the issues identified, and
then we could put together the full list of issues to be tackled by
the WG.  By isolating issues this way, we can concentrate our
attention on one or two controversies at a time, instead of trying to
argue about everything at once.  The goal is to make progress on our
nicely (and strictly) limited charter.

Best,

A

The concern was whether the preponderance of ignorance has already 
starting or the issues posted were automatically added to the tracker 
(wasn't even aware this was going to be done now) without the WG 
chair(s) judgment to catalog it or not.  I see you made a statement 
that its your call what gets on the table. It would be nice to get an 
early notification that a issue is cataloged or will not for XYZ 
reason.  I just don't want to wasting time to posting issues believing 
it will be cataloged and in the end, find out, a) issues weren't 
cataloged and/or b) ignored and never comes up again (in two weeks) 
and I feel there is a need to create more noise by reposting it again.

If noise reduction is desired, feedback is useful.

It would help if WG participants could provide data about the 
deployment of the DNS RR as part of the request for empirical data.

Pete,

You could well be right, of course. However there's enough history with 
late-stage surprises with the IESG to make it worth considering a relatively 
modest exercise.

It will help /us/ to settle on the list of basic questions we decide to answer, 
in satisfaction of this charter requirement.  It will likely help the process to 
run that presumably short list past the IESG for comment.

Murray,

I would prefer to avoid seeing RRtype 99 being seen as historic. 
Rather, the RRtype should be seen as the preferred RRtype of choice for 
SPF implementations.  This may indeed be even more the case for future 
revs of SPF not addressed in this spfbis process.

There was significant discussion as I recall on the SPF list regarding 
the treatment of RRtype 99 at the time it was approved because of the 
huge levels of adoption of the TXT RRtype for SPF (the only way to 
implement the experiment prior to the issuance of RRtype99).  During 
those discussions I recall the future V3 version of SPF as perhaps 
implementing the notion that RRtype 99 was indeed to become the 
preferred mechanism for describing SPF in DNS.

As such, I would tend to vote against the relegation of RRtype 99 as 
"historic".

Best,

Alan M.

   (I don't understand how such a nice guy as Pete survives in the arena
of being an AD.)

   I thoroghly agree with Pete here.

   I disagree with Dave, at least partly wearing my NarrativeScribe hat.

   Such exercises are _not_ modest to the IESG.

   Pete has made us an offer we _really_should_not_ refuse. He has
offered to initiate this discussion wearing his ResponsibleAD hat. It
would be an abuse of process to escalate that to the full IESG unless
and until we have a problem with our ResponsibleAD's interpretation of
the charter item (which Pete has already said he'll mostly defer to us
to write).

   No, Dave, it would not help to escalate this to the IESG now.

To clarify this point, let me quote the results of Microsoft's wizard
http://www.anti-spamtools.org/ varying the "Scope" radio button:

The Purported Responsible Address (PRA) only
spf2.0/pra [mechanisms omitted] -all

The MAIL FROM (or reverse-path) address only (2 records)
v=spf1 [mechanisms omitted] -all
spf2.0/pra ?all

Both <-- this was the wizard's initial setting
v=spf1 [mechanisms omitted] -all

It doesn't seem to make sense to analyze the published records.  Thus
we can only analyze what's deployed on the checking side.  However, we
cannot assume that mail domains choose their MTA software based on
Sender-ID/SPF support only.  Moreover, some MTA software licenses are
not compatible with OSP or RANDZ.  Therefore, counting existing
software developments, or deployments thereof, will not result in a
true representation of the corresponding effectiveness.

I'd randomly select some Sender-ID-compliant MTAs that are able to log
"mfrom" and "pra" separately.  We may consider SPF equivalent to
Sender-ID with just "mfrom".  That is to say, let's evaluate how
relevant is the contribution of "pra" relative to "pra" + "mfrom", for
such MTAs.  In effect, it's that "pra" part that we are going to tear
down.  It is reasonable to evaluate it as we go.

The problem is, the last time I checked hotmail, I obtained an ehlo
response with no 250-SUBMITTER line.  Are there any fully compliant
Sender-ID deployments out there?

As I mentioned previously, the WG Chairs have not made any 
determination about whether an issue is valid or not valid or what is 
in scope ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00336.html 
).  Someone will have to make the call.  That someone is generally 
the WG Chairs.  I am waiting for the issue tracker to be accessible 
to "catalog" the issues.  May I humbly suggest that you wait a little 
before determining whether the WG Chairs have provided ample 
opportunity for discussion about every issue which have been posted?

I prefer not to see any discussion about the issues or reviews that 
have been or will be posted to this mailing list.  As WG Chairs, we 
rely on WG participants to help in making progress nicely.  We would 
like to handle one o two controversies at a time instead of having a 
full-blown discussion about everything.

Let me say it clearly.  When I label a message as coming from the WG 
co-chair and I say "no discussions now", I mean no discussions 
now.  Could WG participants please show some self-restrain by not 
getting into discussions about issues?

Please, no, stop.

Now is _not_ the time, as we have asked repeatedly, to discuss the
merits of the various issues.  There will be an opportunity to discuss
them later.  Now, we are collecting issues, and not debating them.

If we try to debate every issue at once, we will never manage to make
any progress.

Thanks and best regards,

SPF Update (spfbis)

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 summarize the result of the experiment and
    revise the specification, based on deployment experience and listed
    errata, and will seek Standards Track status for the protocol.

    The MARID working group considered two specifications for
    publication of email-sending authorization:  Sender-ID, which
    eventually became RFC4405, RFC4406 and RFC4407, and SPF, which
    eventually became RFC4408, all in the end published under
    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
    prepended to RFC 4405 through RFC 4408 defined an experiment with
    SPF and Sender-ID, and invited an expression of community consensus
    in the period following the publication of those specifications.

    Both technologies initially enjoyed widespread deployment.  Since
    that time, broad SPF use has continued, whereas use of Sender-ID has
    slackened.  Furthermore, SPF's linkage to the envelope (as opposed
    to Sender-ID's linkage to identifiers in the message content) has
    proven sufficient among operators.

    Formation of the SPF Update Working Group is predicated on three
    assumptions:

    1. The SPF/Sender-ID experiment has concluded.

    2. SPF has been a qualified success, warranting further development.

    3. Sender-ID has had less success, and no further development is justified.

    The working group will produce a document describing the course of
    the SPF/Sender-ID experiment, thus bringing that experiment to a
    formal conclusion.  The group will complete additional work on SPF
    (described below), but will not complete additional work on the
    Sender-ID specification.

    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.

    Specifically out-of-scope for this working group:

    * Revisiting past technical arguments where consensus was reached 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 the SPF protocols.

    * Removal of existing features that are in current use.
    
    Discussion of extensions to the SPF protocols or removal of
    existing features shall only be discussed after completion of
    current charter items in anticipation of rechartering the working
    group.

    An initial draft of an updated SPF specification document is
    draft-kitterman-4408bis. The working group may choose to use this
    document as a basis for their specification.

Goals and Milestones:

Aug 2012:  A document describing the SPF/Sender-ID experiment and its 
           conclusions to the IESG for publication.

Dec 2012:  A standards track document defining SPF, based on RFC4408 and 
           as amended above, to the IESG for publication.

I could quote what the WG Chairs have been saying but it might be 
futile as it seems that nobody is listening.  If WG participants 
ignore the requests from the WG Chairs, I take it that it is would 
not be unfair for the WG Chairs not to listen to what the WG 
participants say on this thread.

I was simply responding to the question originally started by Murray S. 
Kucharawy regarding the topic.

Perhaps this is a process issue as regards how the bis process operates. 
  My most recent understanding of the process was that Murray was 
originally leading up the effort to get spfbis on track prior to the 
introduction of the co-chairs.  He had introduced the original question 
on this list designed to get spfbis to standards.  He has been here 
serving in that capacity prior to the introduction of chairs to this 
process and apparently continues to make good contributions to the 
spfbis effort.  I worked on the belief that with specific questions 
being posed to the list by facilitators, there was an implicit request 
for answers by list members.

To the spfbis co-chairs: if questions are brought up on the list by 
those generally understood to be process facilitators, how are they to 
be best addressed by list members in future?

Thank you in advance for your guidance in this matter.

Alan M.

Murray spearheaded the effort in getting the SPFBIS WG chartered.  He 
has put in a lot of effort in getting the working group on track.

What Andrew and I have been trying to say is: please review RFC 4408 
and post the issues you find to the mailing list.  We will compile a 
list of issues and then start the discussion on them.  We would like 
to tackle one of two controversies at a time as it would be easier 
for us to make progress nicely.

Please do not discuss any question until the WG Chairs send out the 
request for comments.

The SPFBIS WG Charter is at 
http://www.ietf.org/dyn/wg/charter/spfbis-charter  IETF participants 
should also read and understand the Note Well ( 
http://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html ).

S. Moonesamy

Hi,

In the IETF, I don't know what "generally understood to be process
facilitators" means.  If you are not familiar with the way the IETF
works, I encourage you to read RFC 4667, which can be found at
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4677.txt.  

In this particular case, however, the WG chairs have been asking to
follow one particular methodology: put your issues to the list, but
please don't discuss them yet.  That's what I requested last Friday,
and I think we've tried to be consistent with it.  The "yet" there is
important.  We will have an opportunity to discuss each issue at a
later date, but we don't want to discuss them all now.

As we've now said several times, the goal here is to break the issues
down into manageable chunks, so that we're not struggling with all the
issues at once.  In general, we believe that progress is most likely
to come if we can make progess on individual issues one or two at a
time.

Best regards,

Andrew

To our co-chairs,

Thank you both for the clarification and I apologize for not entirely 
understanding current the process.

To that end, perhaps we can have a single thread which lists all of the 
issues to be discussed once the list is assembled.  In this way, we will 
have one spot we can all look to for an understanding of the next phase 
in the process, where comments would be more appropriate.

@Andrew - thank you for the link to RFC 4667.

Best,

Alan M.

Hi all,

This is just a (re-re-)re-iteration of how we're trying to run this
process.  This particular part of the process is about capturing
issues with RFC 4408.  I'm not talking here about resolving the
experiment; we'll deal with that in another thread.

On Tue, Feb 07, 2012 at 12:24:53PM -0700, Commerco WebMaster wrote:

In the first stage, we are collecting issues.  I'd originally imagined
people would post whole reviews of RFC 4408, but instead people seem
to be identifying particular issues they have with it in separate
messages.  That's grand.  Whatever way we collect them is good.  We
asked that people get their issues together by 18 Feb.  Nobody has
objected to that deadline yet.

The plan is that, once we have stopped collecting, we can collate the
issues into a big list.  That big list will go into the tracker (if
you don't know about the issue tracker, visit
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/spfbis.  To use the tracker you need a tools
login.  If you don't know about this, poke me offline and I'll
explain), and we'll post a summary here.  We'll ask for anything we
missed or any distinctions people think we haven't made.  Again, that
will be an opportunity to _identify_ cases, and not to debate their
merits.

Once we have this in hand, then we can pick one or two of the
identified issues _at a time_, and work to resolve them.  This way, we
control the rate at which we have to discuss complicated and
contentious issues, and we can move forward.

All of this was intended to be implicit in the note I sent to the list
last Friday, but I recognize that perhaps it wasn't clear enough.
Hence this note.

Best regards,

Andrew

I fetched the SPF RR from each of the 287,000 DNS names (in my database) 
that had an SPF record. Only 4,613 entries returned SPF (type 99) 
records. There were many timeouts (but I didn't count them) as it seems 
that some servers do not respond: azbus.net, kupai.me, togocom.com etc.

Of the 4613 SPF RRs, ~800 do not match the TXT version for the same 
domain. In some cases it is just a whitespace difference or ordering 
difference.

That's right, it was, but SM and I can say something more formally:

We have been avoiding trying to interpret what would qualify as
empirical evidence of the end of the experiment, partly in an attempt
to draw out participants' views about the experiment, and partly
because the experimental design did not include a clear statement of
the proposition being tested.

Nevertheless, participants want a clearer statement of what evidence
is desired.  Our AD has offered to take seriously the WG's
good-faith efforts to understand the experiment, and therefore that's
what we will do.

We understand the experiment to have consisted of the simultaneous
deployment of two protocols using the same data from the DNS.  We
interpret the experiment to have been an effort to see which protocol
would be more widely deployed, or more effective, or both.  Therefore,
any evidence about relative deployment, or relative efficacy, would be
welcome.  Evidence of migration from one technology to another would
also be important evidence (really, evidence about relative
deployment).  

Note that this is still _not_ a request for evaluations of the
trade-off.  For instance, if we discovered that the two technologies
were approximately equal in efficacy, then one might make an argument
that one or the other ought to be preferred because it is simpler and
just as effective.  That, however, is a _conclusion_, and not evidence
as such.  Let's please hold off on the conclusions until we have
gathered such evidence as we have.

Best regards,

Andrew and SM

NB: although our WGCs are asking us not to discuss/analyze data, I think
this one thread deserves just a bit more discussion. (But I will not
respond to Dave much longer.)

   Should Pete want to do that, I wouldn't object (but I might send him
private email about what he's getting into).

   Reporting on Sender-ID is hardly "the end of our work". Check the
charter milestones...

   I think Dave and I will have to agree to disagree here. I was scribing
those IESG telechats; and I think my Narrative Minutes support my belief
the IESG of that time was determined to not repeat a YAM-style charter.

   Regardless, today's IESG is different; and I agree with Pete's belief
that his strong support of our "document decribing the SPF/Sender-ID
experiment" will be sufficient to convince other ADs.

   (Where we may get "late surprises" is at IETF-wide LastCall; and
no prior IESG statement can stop those.)

I'm not sure if this qualifies as data or not, but ...

I'm one of the upstream maintainers of the Python SPF library (pyspf).  Pyspf 
has supported Type 99 since a few days after the type was allocated to SPF.  
Due to complaints about issues with badly acting DNS servers we disabled type 
99/SPF support by default after a short period.  There have been zero 
complaints about it not being enabled by default.  I have reviewed the source 
of the open source users of pyspf and none of them over-ride this setting.

As far as I can tell it's been off for half a decade and no one cared.

I also help maintain a Postfix policy server in Perl that uses the Mail::SPF 
library.  It did, for several years, have even the option to turn off type SPF 
queries.  The Mail::SPF developer added the switch after multiple complaints.  

Based on interactions with multiple open source projects, including large 
Linux distributions like Debian and Ubuntu, all of the feedback from users 
I've heard is that type SPF is a problem and it should not be used.

I'm sure some or all of you will be unthrilled that I brought this up, but =
nevertheless...

The use of "check_host()" in a standards track RFC smacks of us defining an=
 API, which I think the IETF tries to avoid.  (The greybeards in here can c=
orrect me if I'm wrong.)  After staring at the RFC4408 text for a while, it=
 seems to me it could be rewritten to avoid this construct without losing a=
ny detail.

I realize that's a little bit hypocritical coming from one of the co-editor=
s of RFC6376, which defined a set of inputs, some outputs (one required, ot=
hers optional), and some end states, but RFC4408 is a lot more blatant abou=
t it, for example by going so far as naming the function; somehow in my hea=
d it crosses a line that RFC6376 avoided.  I think it comes down to the dif=
ference between specifying a function and describing an algorithm.

I'd like us to consider this, even if said consideration in the end lasts o=
nly about 90 seconds and consists of solid consensus telling me it's fine t=
he way it is.  :)

RFC5234 (Section 2.3 in particular) says string literals in ABNFs are actua=
lly case-insensitive.  That means this:

   macro-letter     =3D "s" / "l" / "o" / "d" / "i" / "p" / "h" /
                      "c" / "r" / "t"

...actually permits all the uppercase versions too.  It doesn't seem as tho=
ugh that's what we want here given that I don't see in the examples and hav=
e never seen in the wild an uppercase macro.

I suspect we need to review all the ABNF, but this stood out in my review.

Ok, this is starting to concern me.  Everyone's issue posted but my 
own were not added to the issued tracker when I believe my issue is 
fundamentally realistic about indirectly dealing SENDER-ID with a real 
RFC that exist and is supported by both senders and receivers.  You 
didn't even give it a chance for discussion and yet added stuff with 
potentials to get IETF Appeals (Issue #10 shoved down our throats).

The fact you choose not to add my issue, tells me this WG is going to 
be another DKIM with isolation and selective input ending up with up 
with a terrible Consensus By Osmosis process.

Are you deliberately trying to create chaos with this in-your-face 
ignorance?

Would that be Issue #4 ( http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/spfbis/trac/ticket/4 )?

Issue #10 was raised in a message to the SPFBIS mailing list.  It was 
added to the tracker like any other issue posted to the mailing list.

Hector,

I wonder if yours might not be left aside because it's outside the scope of the charter? No need for accusations.

My sincere apology for not focusing on the all the items listed. I 
thought I clicked and open all of them. I apparently didn't.  My apology.

Yes, and probably the question is whether allowing a "small thread" to 
see what may be the "obvious" immediate concerns before adding 
something to the tracker is warranted.  Even my own.

For example, in this issue #10, proposed as a replacement as it was 
stated, IMO, is guaranteed to be controversial and will not be 
realistically supported by long time established SPF operations and 
product vendors.  Proposed as an alternative is more realistic.   So 
perhaps a small thread to correct the proposal would save time when 
ISSUE #10 is discussed.  IOW, it will be what I will state on this 
issue.  Received-SPF  MUST NOT be eliminated in SPF-BIF not because I 
may or not believe using AUTH-RES is better, but rather because the 
proposal presumes the 3rd party filters will be in sync with changes 
and not broken when the SMTP receiver drops support for it.

Sorry, no, it is not, for the reasons we've already outlined more than
once.

We want to get all the issues out first.  If we attempt to have a
"small" thread to discuss whether each issue really is an issue, then
we will in effect debate all issues twice.  We'll never get anything
done that way.  I ask your indulgence in trying the approach we have
asked the WG to use.

Thanks,

I was wrong. It was added. Faulty eyes. :(

I don't believe it is out of scope nor should be.  The facts are:

   - RFC 4405 is a SMTP protocol related to SPF non-payload outcomes,
   - There is large support for it by senders,
   - I can only speak for our package, but we support (SMTP 
receiver/forwarder) it.

I don't want to see what happen to DKIM with its rigid, unpopular 
decision to limit the input to the DKIM evaluators when in fact, the 
reality was there are more parameters, like Author Domain.

To me, we should think about the purity of the protocol model for SPF 
and that does include the possibility of seeing additional input, 
currently the RFC4405 SMTP extension for the SUBMITTER keyword:

      5321.MAIL FROM:<return-path> [SUBMITTER=PRA]

It also relates to issue #11 (check_host) process model description as 
an algorithm. Although I feel the issuer seems to be describing a 
different view in issue #11 than what was done in DKIM-BIF.  Issuer 
clarification is needed.

Anyway, I feel Issue #4 and Issue #11 are related. The SPF "evaluator" 
or Check_Host() as it is defined, SHOULD NOT be locked in to just two 
parameters.  It needs to be open ended and in the same way some did 
not want add specifically AUTHOR-DOMAIN as part of the input (an 
unrealistic mistake to ignore what was already done), we should not 
ignore the fact that SUBMITTER may be already realistically part of a 
SPF implementation for check_host().

What may be obvious to me might not be obvious to other WG 
participants.  As an individual, it is easier for me not to have to 
figure out which questions will generate a "small thread".  It's less 
work for me to add the "questions" into the tracker ( 
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/spfbis/trac/report/1 ).  If I missed an 
issue or if I misunderstood the issue, WG participants can point it 
out.  Disagreements will happen.  We can either talk about them and 
find an acceptable resolution or we can follow the IETF process to 
the letter.  I have a preference for the first alternative as it is 
snowing. :-)

I wonder which issue won't be controversial. :-)  Issue #10 is 
mentioned in a thread about Issue #4.  It is more work for me to 
follow the discussions about the issues when that happens.

The work of this working group will span over several months.  There 
is ample time to consider each issue calmly and work towards a 
resolution based on WG Consensus.

S. Moonesamy

Hello,

The following comments are on RFC 4408.  Some of them may be out of 
scope.  I avoided getting into editorial comments as far as 
possible.  The RFC 2119 key words should be reviewed.

The IESG Note mentions that "Sender ID experiment may use DNS records 
that may have been created for the current SPF experiment or earlier 
versions in this set of experiments.  Depending on the content of the 
record, this may mean that Sender-ID heuristics would be applied 
incorrectly to a message.  Depending on the actions associated by the 
recipient with those heuristics, the message may not be delivered or 
may be discarded on receipt".

I suggest that the WG considers the above.

The IESG Note also mentions that "Participants publishing SPF 
experiment DNS records should consider the advice given in section 
3.4 of RFC 4406 and may wish to publish both v=spf1 and spf2.0 
records to avoid the conflict".

I suggest using data gathered to determine whether the advice was followed.

"Participants in the Sender-ID experiment need to be aware that the 
way Resent-* header fields are used will result in failure to receive 
legitimate email when interacting with standards-compliant systems 
(specifically automatic forwarders which comply with the standards by 
not adding Resent-* headers, and systems which comply with RFC 822 
but have not yet implemented RFC 2822 Resent-* semantics)".

I suggest taking the above into consideration for the "conclusion" document.

In Section 2.4:

   "When a mail receiver decides to perform an SPF check, it MUST use a
    correctly-implemented check_host() function (Section 4) evaluated
    with the correct parameters".

RFC 2119 key words should be used for interoperability.  A 
requirement to use a correctly-implemented function with correct 
parameters comes out as stating the obvious.

In Section 2.5:

   "The authorization check SHOULD be performed during the processing of the
    SMTP transaction that sends the mail."

The "that sends the mail" is superfluous in the above.

In Section 2.5.4:

   "If the information does not originate with the checking software, it
    should be made clear that the text is provided by the sender's domain.
    For example:

        550-5.7.1 SPF MAIL FROM check failed:
        550-5.7.1 The domain example.com explains:
        550 5.7.1 Please see http://www.example.com/mailpolicy.html"

It is better not to document the multiline response as it comes out 
as a recommendation.

In Section 2.5.5:

   'The domain owner wants to discourage the use of this host and thus
    desires limited feedback when a "SoftFail" result occurs.'

I suggest avoiding terms such as "domain owner".

   'For example, the recipient's Mail User Agent (MUA) could highlight the
    "SoftFail" status, or the receiving MTA could give the sender a
    message using a technique called "greylisting" whereby the MTA can
    issue an SMTP reply code of 451 (4.3.0 DSN code) with a note the
    first time the message is received, but accept it the second time.'

It is better not to encourage a "greylisting" technique in this 
specification as it is more of an "antispam" technique than one about 
"sender policy".

In Section 2.5.6:

   "If the message is rejected during the SMTP transaction for this reason,
    the software SHOULD use an SMTP reply code of 451 and, if supported,
    the 4.4.3 DSN code."

The "4.4.3" is an extended status code.  It is not a "DNS code".  The 
extended status code used is incorrect.

In Section 3.1.1:

   "It is recognized that the current practice (using a TXT record) is
    not optimal, but it is necessary because there are a number of DNS
    server and resolver implementations in common use that cannot handle
    the new RR type.  The two-record-type scheme provides a forward path
    to the better solution of using an RR type reserved for this purpose.

    An SPF-compliant domain name SHOULD have SPF records of both RR
    types."

This "SHOULD" is not being followed.

In Section 3.1.4:

   "The published SPF record for a given domain name SHOULD remain small
    enough that the results of a query for it will fit within 512 octets."

   "Records that are too long to fit in a single UDP packet MAY be
    silently ignored by SPF clients."

I suggest either setting a maximum size for the record or 
reconsidering the text about ignoring a SPF record.  BTW, some 
implementation encountered issues with DNS TXT record parsing.

The example in Section 3.1.5 about wildcard records should be rewritten.

In Section 5.4:

   'Note regarding implicit MXs: If the <target-name> has no MX records,
    check_host() MUST NOT pretend the target is its single MX, and MUST
    NOT default to an A lookup on the <target-name> directly.  This
    behavior breaks with the legacy "implicit MX" rule.  See [RFC2821],
    Section 5.  If such behavior is desired, the publisher should specify
    an "a" directive.'

This paragraph should be updated to cover IPv6.

In Section 5.5:

   "If a DNS error occurs while doing an A RR lookup, then that
    domain name is skipped and the search continues."

AAAA RRs should also be taken into account.

In Section 7:

   'Other keys may be defined by SPF clients.  Until a new key name
    becomes widely accepted, new key names should start with "x-".'

"x-" is being deprecated.

   "SPF clients MUST make sure that the Received-SPF header field does
    not contain invalid characters, is not excessively long, and does not
    contain malicious data that has been provided by the sender."

The above requirement is subject to interpretation.

In Section 9.3:

  '[RFC1123] and [RFC2821] describe this action as an "alias"
   rather than a "mail list".'

The mail transport material in RFC 1123 has been replaced in RFC 5321.

In Section 10.4:

   "Another means to verify the identity of individual users is
    message cryptography such as PGP ([RFC2440]) or S/MIME ([RFC3851])."

The term generally used is "digital signatures".

The normative references should be updated to RFC 5321, RFC 5322 and 
RFC 5234.  The informative reference for SUBMIT should be updated to 
RFC 6409.  The references for RMX, DMP, Vixie and Green should be 
removed if there aren't stable references to the material.

Regards,
-sm

In my list of collected records, I have 578 v=spf2 records. This is an 
underestimate as it turns out that I only saved the *first* spf record 
if there were multiple (Yes, my bad). However, if we assume that the 
ordering of TXT RRs is random, then this would indicate that maybe 1200 
domains have both records (out of 278,000 which have at least one).

This is a proposed solution to an issue, not an issue.  I think while we are 
collecting issues, it's important to have a clear statement of what problem in 
RFC 4408 has been found that needs to be solved.

I think that this points out a potential issue:

* It is not easy/generally possible to find where a broken 
implementation of SPF is. While I can see where the bad DNS request 
comes from, this doesn't help as the address belongs to an DNS recursive 
name server. I don't know how to solve it, but it is an operational issue.

The advice given in the non-normative Section 9 is misleading.  On the
one hand, it provides overly cumbersome techniques based on macros
that are not universally considered safe.  On the other hand, it fails
to state the obvious point that a return-path is only needed if
someone is going to care about delivery failures.

When an email alias refers to an external domain, the forwarder must
change it.  This has to be normative, and update Section 3.9.1 of
[RFC5321] --not one of the best written sections of that paper.

Forwarding Ã  la MAIL FROM:<> should be mentioned as the default,
easiest way to re-inject messages.  The implied interoperability is
that the owner of the target mailbox must be aware of a given
"forwarding recipe", and be able to modify or delete it.  The
variation MAIL FROM:<postmaster@example.com> is necessary when a
postmaster's action is needed for modifying/deleting a given recipe.
SRS should be mentioned as a general purpose variation for extended
forwarding needs.

The spec should say that an SPF record must be defined for every A or
AAAA record, irrespectively of whether its host label also appears in
some MX RRs.  We should encourage the use of _spf labels and redirect=
for designing sound and maintainable SPF compliance.

that's different than what we just did?

It's a reminder.  If you have not posted your issue yet, it would be 
help to the WG chairs if you could post them by Saturday.  If you 
have already posted issues, they should be in the tracker.

Sorry, Saturday is too short for (for me, time wise). SM, SPF-BIS is 
too important for such an aggressive schedule.  With the lack of 
discussion on the issues already cataloged,  I sense there is going to 
a very heavy burden with quick decisions made.

Andrew, as SPFBIS WG co-chair, posted a message on February 7 about 
nobody objecting to the deadline ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00353.html 
).  From the above, I gather that you need more time.  What date 
would be convenient for you?

Perhaps we could take another approach.

Hector, as you note, there are already several issues catalogued.  I'd
like to suggest that we begin discussions of some of the
already-enumerated issues while you are still working on your list of
issues.  It seems to me that we can make progress on some issues while
others find new issues.  After all, it's not as though we're closing
the list of issues forever before we start discussing issues: if a new
issue emerges from the discussion, we're not going to rule it out of
order.  Similarly, the point here is to take only a few issues at a
time, so there will still be some in the queue after the 18th.  The
point of the artificial deadline of the 18th was to collect as many
issues as we could in order to prioritize items in discussion.  If
every issue hasn't been exposed by then, it's not the end of the
world; we certainly have some things to chew on already.

So in the absence of a really compelling reason to hold off, SM and I
will pick some issues to start discussion on later this week.

Thanks,

A

I've posted my issues from my review already, but I'd like to point out tha=
t I'll be mentioning this work at the MAAWG conference next week, and we mi=
ght collect some new participants and/or feedback from that since SPF is ne=

 that and encourage them to get involved directly, but that may mean some i=

we consider pushing the deadline out a week or two?

As Andrew Sullivan already said in another message in this thread, it's not 
like new issues can't be considered later.

RFC 4408 is approaching it's sixth birthday.  I think there's been lots of 
time for people to consider it.  I'd prefer for us to get started and look at 
new issues later if any emerge.

Fair enough; then I guess I'm just mentioning that I might have a bunch of =
other feedback after next week.  No reason to hold us up.

+1.

My thoughts:

- Mixed discipline environment, can't expect the same level of detail 
reviews across the board in the agenda sought. We have IETF level 
review disciplines vs functional, technical interest,

- Need to separate issues into technical important levels, integration 
related. Which ones are discussed first, is a judgment call, but I 
lean towards the ones that deal with what we learned the last 9 years 
of vendor implementations, and that includes:

- Senderid (RFC5222 related) vs Submitter (RFC5321 related that allows 
indirect support for SenderId),

- Addressing the check_host() input and open-ended options,

- Emphasis on security and (DNS) optimization, overhead minimization,

- Reporting methods, directions.

Thanks

Small followup,

and also nipping the bud on obvious issues that have a high potential 
for dispute.  Honestly and I'm record that I do not like the IETF 
Rough Consensus (RC) concept. It was applicable in an era where we 
journeying into the unknown in years past to help with decision 
making. Its a terrible method in today's environment where we have 
untold IETF-MAN-YEARS in technology and how its will most likely work. 
  I can not accept any RC today where there is obvious contention and 
quite often an osmosis element comes into play - ignore other input or 
others just step out thus automatically creating a untrue position. 
Tough call,  understood,  but at the end of the day its about 
fundamental engineering sense that MUST be followed.   Thats me. Thats 
how I am. No bending.

Hi Hector,

My chair hat is firmly on.  I haven't consulted with SM on what I say
below, but I'd be astonished if he disagreed with me.

I don't mind if you don't like the approach that the IETF uses, but
neither this WG nor this list shall be turned into a platform for
discussion of the IETF process.  There are _plenty_ of places around
the IETF to discuss process.  This WG isn't one of them, and we're
going to use the established IETF processes for the operation of this
WG.

Best regards,

A

Please do draw this work to the attention of MAAWG participants.  We
of course welcome additional participation.  We are going to start
working on particular issues, though, starting next week.  The point
of the deadline was really just an administrative trick: we wanted to
get a bunch of issues listed first so we had some things to
prioritize.  I cannot believe we won't see more issues coming up, and
we of course encourage people to raise those as they think of them.

Best,

A

I agree with what my co-chair said ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00386.html ).

I would like to remind all working group participants to read the 
Note Well ( http://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html ), which I quote:

   "A participant in any IETF activity is deemed to accept all IETF rules of
    process, as documented in Best Current Practices RFCs and IESG Statements."

Please note that that all IETF Contributions are subject to the rules 
of RFC 5378 and RFC 3979 (updated by RFC 4879).

If you need more information, please ask the Working Group chairs.

Dear S Moonesamy,

RFC4408 needs to set reasonable limits for the number of DNS 
transactions resulting in Name Errors or No Data results.  This 
constrains potential reflected DNS amplification caused by the 111 (or 
222 TXT/SPF RR) possible DNS transactions that might be attempted to 
resolve a complete SPF record set.  1 + 10 + 100 or 2 + 20 + 200 
depending upon use of SPF/TXT resource records in parallel.

The potential level of DDoS gain is also affected by whether other 
identities are to be resolved beyond the typical SMTP Mail From 
parameter, such as those used to resolve Sender-ID or HELO/EHLO 
identities.  1 for initial SPF records.  1 for each of the 10 
mechanisms.  10 for each of the possible host address or PTR resolutions 
by each mechanism.

Section 4.4 Record Lookup

Was:
If all DNS lookups that are made return a server failure (RCODE 2), or 
other error (RCODE other than 0 or 3), or time out, then check_host() 
exits immediately with the result "TempError".

Change to:
When more than 10 DNS transactions return a server failure (RCODE 2), 
time out or provide No Data (ANCOUNT of zero), subsequent DNS 
transactions SHOULD be avoided and conclude with a resolution of 
"TempError".  When 10 DNS transactions return a Name Error (RCODE 3), 
subsequent DNS transactions SHOULD be avoided and conclude with a 
resolution of "None".

When one of the optional resource record types (TXT or SPF) for a 
specific domain provide No DATA (ANCOUNT of zero) but data is returned 
by the other, DNS transactions for this domain SHOULD avoid subsequent 
transactions using the resource record type resulting in No Data.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

I think this is one part of a possible solution to the existing issue on 
refactoring the processing limits in paragraph 10.1 of RFC 4408 and should be 
added to that issue rather than as a new separate issue.

Hi Doug,

Could we split this in two: (1) issue of "possible large number of DNS
queries that could result" and (2) possible mitigations?  That is, I'd
like the issue to be (1) and your suggested answers to be part of the
discussion of how to address the issue.  Ok?

I did not advocate a referendum on the RC process. But I am hoping 
that the WG will recognize using it an instrument to win controversial 
suggestions when they shouldn't be one in the first place will be 
problematic. Especially when you already been told upfront that those 
issue might be.  Thats a MANAGEMENT problem.

SM, AS:

My point is simple. I have a concern with apparent WG Chairs plans to 
allow controversial issues be introduced and debated that perhaps 
SHOULD NOT have been even allowed to be introduced in the first place. 
   I've seen it used incorrectly in the past to interject and change 
the framework of the protocol and I fear it will used again here for 
SPF using SPFBIF as a vehicle to institute the change.  I'm seen it 
with DKIM and I don't wish to to see it with SPF.

Anything that changes SPF in a non-compatible manner should not be an 
issue to be discussed and working purely on RC is not going to resolve 
the inherent problem it shouldn't have been one the first place.

May I humbly suggest that we wait for the issues to be discussed 
before drawing any conclusion?  It's only a matter of a few more days 
before the start of the discussions on the issues listed in the tracker.

Thanks,

The WG Chairs asked everyone to review RFC 4408 and post their 
comments to this mailing list.  The comments were listed in the 
tracker as issues.

This is the SPFBIS working group.

BCP 25 defines IETF working group procedures and guidelines.  I would 
prefer not to see IETF rules exercised unless there is no other 
alternative.  I suggest that we wait until tomorrow.  If you still 
have a concern, you can email the WG Chairs privately, or post to the 
mailing list, if you wish.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
SPFBIS WG co-chair

Dear Andrew,

I assume you want me to resubmit this as two separate messages.  I'll 
have that first thing tomorrow.  I am still recovering from an Inchon 
flight.

I am also tempted to write something similar regarding the local-part 
macro.  This feature is seldom used, but prevents domain level caching.  
This necessitates repeating the same process simply because it might be 
effected by a local-part macro.  This feature also conflicts with using 
SPF as a utility to define the domain's outbound servers and to assess 
reputations based upon a domain name.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

Ok, checking it out... Too aggressive filtering rules apply to you. 
Sorry. I just white listed your new elandsys.com address.

I should note that back on Feb 7, a direct off-list email attempt to 
you was rejected using your new sm+ietf@elandsys.com address:

         ----------- Original Message -----------------
Subject: Undeliverable mail
Date: Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:30:07 -0500
From: postmaster@winserver.com
To: <hsantos@isdg.net>

This is an automatic generated Delivery Status Notification.

The message can not be sent to recipient:

    sm+ietf@elandsys.com

Reason: A transaction failure was reported by remote server:

   "550 5.7.0 Message violates site policy Please read 
http://www.qubic.net/scam/ to see how to resend your message"
          ----------- end of original message -------------

Switching to your traditional address sm@resistor.net went thru.  I 
was going to say something to you, I decided not to believing (perhaps 
erroneously) it was intention given the circumstances.

With this reply, I am sending a CC to your elandsys.com address to see 
if the above rejection occurs again.

You shouldn't have a problem again, but i you feel you need to contact 
me directly and privately, you can use my gmail account, 
sant9442@gmail.com,  Also, I'm almost always available via jabber: 
hector@jabber.isdg.net

Sorry about that.

I don't block any IETF participant.  If anyone gets a rejection, 
please let me know so that I can fix my broken stuff.

I got your email.

Thanks.  I'll use them if I cannot get through to your primary email 
address.  I added you to Jabber.

This is just a procedural suggestion.  I'm fine if we throw it away.

The charter has a lot of things in common with the general characteristics =
of the steps one would take if a working group wanted to advance something =
along the standards track.  That is, clarify and tidy up the specification,=
 and toss out parts that are not known to be in use.

Would it be helpful to prepare an interoperability report, or at least go t=
hrough the exercise of doing so, even if we don't actually ask the IESG to =
publish it?

This is an excellent suggestion, and I think it would be a wonderful
thing to do.  Do we need to organize any formal testing, or do we have
the data we need?

Best,

The data Philip Gladstone has provided to date are a terrific start.  Anyon=
e else with comparable data sets should be encouraged to provide them.  Pau=
l tells me offline that the Microsoft database that collects such informati=
on was recently reset but will be back online soon, so he could provide us =
with that report at that time.

The trick, of course, is that we can't tell who's checking SPF or Sender-ID=
 inbound, so it's very hard to gauge (other than anecdotally) how many peop=
le are using which ones and in which modes.

I'll poll some off-list resources and get them to give us what they can.

The interoperability report for DKIM was done with data from only a few sou=
rces (though a couple were quite large, fortunately), so I don't think any =
formal organization is necessary at this stage.

I know we don't want to reopen old wounds, but I think that it's important to 
get the history correct.

MARID had a single specification.  It was shut down without warning by the IETF 
powers that be without a lot of public discussion in advance.  This issues 
(that I believe) prevented a single result in the MARID working group were not 
technical.

The controversial feature in Sender-ID of using SPF records was not part of 
the MARID design.  It was added by Microsoft in post-MARID drafts.

I was basing my text on the content of the IESG Note in each of the documen=
ts.

In fact, interestingly, the document history of RFC4408 suggests it too was=
 never a working group item, meaning all four of them were individual submi=
ssions.  I wasn't part of MARID so I'm learning this all after-the-fact.

Anyway, it looks like you're saying deleting the clause about working group=
 convergence would suffice, correct?

I have mentioned the SPF test suite before, but I think it bears mentioning 
again in this context:

http://www.openspf.net/Test_Suite

There are at least four open source libraries that pass all the mandatory 
requirements in the test suite and can be, on that basis, said to be 
interoperable (given the same input data they wiill produce the same result).

http://www.openspf.net/Implementations

I think it's probably worth some discussion about what is interoperability in 
an SPF context.  It's not like DKIM where you have to verify messages signed 
by one impelementation are properly verified by another.  

SPF libraries consume SPF records and produce a result.  Interoperability is, 
I believe, a function of getting the "same" output from the same input SPF 
records where "same" may not quite mean identical since there are corner cases 
that just aren't worth worrying about.

If you add "same envelope and source IP address" to the mix, I'd agree that=
 this is probably what we're working with here.  The other part of general =
SPF interoperability is Received-SPF (use of it, is there anything that con=
sumes it, etc.).

I think that would make it not definitely wrong.  Personally I don't think the 
interoperability concerns were the primary reason for what happened, but 
that's all speculation.

Dear S Moonesamy,

Use of local-part macros in SPF record sets necessitates repeating all 
invoked DNS transactions.  DNS caching only limits DNS overhead when no 
local-part macros are used within SPF record sets.  It is not uncommon 
for the use of random local-part names in messages to be sent by 
malefactors.  Such use significantly impacts the utility of SPF without 
burdening the authoritative servers employed by malefactors.  Not only 
will local-part macros increase the gain of a reflected attack, it also 
prevents resolving addresses of a set of servers for a specific domain.  
Permitting local-part assessments will return results based upon entire 
email addresses and not just the email-address domain.  It is common to 
use SPF to resolve the outbound addresses used by a domain to check 
reputation listings against these addresses.  This use assumes a 
specific domain has not defined local-part macros in their record set or 
that it defaults to "postmaster".

SPF local-part macros should not be used as a method to vet valid 
local-part names, as this would permit the use of high speed dictionary 
attacks to discover which are valid.  A domain better protects 
confidentiality of valid local-parts by postponing acceptance or refusal 
to the Data command.   A reasonable practice for recipients to use to 
ensure effective caching and to retain the desired utility is to 
supplant any local-part with that of "postmaster".  Otherwise, when SPF 
processing follows other types of vetting, expansion of the local-part 
would leak its status via DNS requests.

Add:

A method for mitigating a reduction in utility or risks associated with 
local-part macros would be to replace any local-part with that of 
"postmaster".

Regards,
Douglas Otis

Please lets be very careful this. State your GOALS and PURPOSE first. 
  There is 9 years of field, operations and customer support 
experiences, by millions of domains and its doesn't not serve any 
justice to have isolated subjective conclusions in this extremely 
small IETF new SPF-BIF working group coming to erroneous conclusions 
based on limited and isolated collections of data.

Lets please understand the "BIG BOYS" do no have the copyright on SPF 
understanding and should be the principle decided on new SPF 
directions here.  There are millions of small operations/domains and 
private operations supporting SPF.

If you want 9 years worth of SPF log and data statistics, I have it. 
You can see the 2003 to current summary statistics here, including how 
SPF or more specifically see the notations on how new DNS based 
technology starting with LMAP solutions alter how our SMTP server 
operated:

          http://www.winserver.com/SpamStats

If we are simply considering which SPF feature can be *deprecated*, 
that is something long time real field operations and customer support 
implementators should be able to chime on.

 From the SPFBIS WG Charter ( 
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/spfbis/charters ), there is the following deliverable:

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

The purpose of a working group is to produce its deliverables.  The 
working group has not decided on what goes into the above 
draft.  Andrew and I welcome suggestions and input from WG participants.

This working group is open to anyone who would like to participate.

Thanks for the offer.  Andrew posted a request for experimental 
evidence ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00285.html 
).  It is an open request to anyone who would like to help 
out.  Philip Gladstone provided some data ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00287.html ).

The purpose of an IETF interoperability report is well-documented.  RFC5657=
 is a good place to start if you're unfamiliar with their purpose or struct=
ure in our context.  There are also tons of implementation reports availabl=
e here to show you what sort of thing we're talking about:

	http://www.ietf.org/iesg/implementation-report.html

The one we did for DKIM is in that list.

I looked at a few of these, and at best what I found is a column that shows=
 how many messages were rejected based on SPF on a given day.  The data app=
ear to stop about four months ago.  What we need for an interoperability re=
port is more like what Phillip Gladstone already provided, such as a ratio =
of sites that appear to have SPF policies published, what type of DNS RR th=
ey used, which mechanisms are popular, which extensions are popular, common=
 errors, how many use macros, any information on false positives, etc.  The=
 point is to evaluate how wide deployment is (or appears to be), what parts=
 of RFC4408 are actually implemented and which ones are not, how many peopl=
e got them right or wrong, any unintended consequences or side effects of d=
eployment, etc.  And given the context in which RFC4408 is published, any a=
ssociated data about Sender-ID would also be helpful.

Do you have anything like that?  Aggregate rejection counts can be interest=
ing, but they don't answer the question an interoperability report presents=
.

That is precisely what I believe has been requested.

I set out to review this document.  Since it's an early draft, I'll give you 
general comments.

Abstract: Already discussed.

Introduction: As I discussed in my comments about the abstract, none of the 
drafts ultimately published related to SPF or Sender ID were MARID working 
group documents.  The Sender ID documents are closest to the MARID documents, 
but significant post-MARID changes were made that affected interoperability.  I 
think it's important that these weren't working group document (the SPF 
documents were developed in public with input handled in a manner very much 
like an IETF working group on spf-discuss and the Sender ID documents were 
developed in private by Microsoft).

I think it's difficult to know what the IESG of the time was concerned with.  
Instead of guessing, I would recomend just copying the IESG note that was 
stamped on the front of all the RFCs without amplification.  That's all we 
really know about what the IESG was concerned about.

Finally, this working group wasn't formed to advance "a" protocol.  It was 
formed to advance SPF.  There's no point in pretending neutrality where it 
doesn't exist.

"Need for convergence": There isn't any convergence going on, so I'm confused 
by the title.  We're advancing SPF.  We aren't folding any Sender ID 
functionality into SPF.  That's out of scope, so I don't think we should be 
talking about convergence.

Evidence of deployment: I think it's worth mentioning that given the paltry 
level of type SPF deployment there are multiple applications that don't even 
bother to query for it by default.  It may be used in the sense that some 
small number of records are published, but it's not used in any way that 
confers interoperability.

Appendix A: Since Hotmail doesn't do SPF checks (nor Sender ID mail from 
checks) I'm somewhat confused about how they could offer about the difference 
between SPF and Sender ID evaluations?  Perhaps they offered data on the 
frequency of Mail From and From being the same?  I suspect this is true for 
some of the other providers as well.  I think we should be careful to call 
data, data and distinguish that from what we are inferring from this.

I've already made that correction in my working copy, at the same time I re=
sponded to your comments about the Abstract.

OK, but rather than copying it, I'll simply refer to it with a "for more de=
tail, go there" kind of thing.

 the IESG Note, which as I read it also (rightly) remained agnostic as to t=

Essentially with the IESG Note, the IESG of the time posed a challenge.  I =
think this document is strongest when its reply follows this form or a simi=
lar one:

1) This is what we understand the question to be.
2) This is the evidence we have collected since then to answer that questio=
n.
3) Here, then, is our answer.

I'm attempting to respond directly to the IESG Note, which called for "cons=
ensus in the future".  If you prefer, I can rename that section to "The Nee=
d for Consensus", but it seems to me it says almost exactly the same thing.=
  Perhaps that's because you're reading it as convergence of technologies, =
where I mean it as convergence of support or opinion in favour of one techn=
ology.

I don't think the SPF RR type is germane to the question of which of the tw=
o proposals will advance.  That's more a property of the implementation rep=
ort being discussed on another thread, because it goes to the question of w=
hether or not RFC4408bis should drop that part of the specification and dec=
lare the use of the SPF RR type deprecated or historic.

Unless I'm mistaken (Paul, please do correct me if I'm wrong), Hotmail prov=
ided a statement that their data shows the RFC5322.From domain and the RFC5=
321.MailFrom domain are different in fewer than 5% of the cases they looked=
 at.  Actual numbers are forthcoming.

It was TDP's data that claimed that for messages where both results are ava=
ilable (129,000 at the moment), they agreed (both pass or both fail) in ove=
r 95% of the cases.

I think it's fair and reasonable to say that a task of the working group is to 
document the results of the IESG experiment.  

If I were writing this, I'd have something very much like an executive summary 
in the introduction, so I'd have the high level result up front, but that's an 
editorial preference.

My major point is that if it's going to say anything about the work of the 
working group, it should say it correctly and the language I referenced 
doesn't do that.

For this document though I'm not sure it needs to say anything about the 
working group beyone "this document is a product of the SPFbis working group".

It was probably a mistake to decide to refrain from commenting on the 
last charter writeup other than in the name of moving on, to basically 
give it +1. But there was items in the charter should needed 
clarification and had a few unproven conclusions and I did add issue 
#4 alluding to the one the conflicts.

This is why I believe the only relationship is issue #4 and IMV, the 
above document is different than an Interop report unless the common 
"goal" of either report to is bring about a justification that 
SENDER-ID and by default SUBMITTER are no longer supported protocols 
that SPF implementations should be concern with.

Overall, I am little confused with the charter if one the purposes of 
the SPF-BIF group is to make a conclusion on SENDER-ID/SUBMITTER. 
That doesn't seem right to me or fair to all current 
SENDER-ID/SUBMITTER supporters.

(Note, the above is cut down version of a much longer message. <g>)

You are correct, however there is the outstanding conflict that 
rfc4406 paragraph 3.4 has with 4408.  A 4408bis should resolve this conflict
somehow, although a simple errata for 4406 would be the simplest and
least political: "v=spf1 SHOULD be treated as equivalent to spf2.0/mfrom".

If an errata for 4406 is out of scope for this WG, then 4408bis should
recommend (SHOULD) an "spf2.0/pra" record in addition to any v=spf1 record.
This would also address the conflict (and cover existing implementations of
4406 as well).

But if 4406 is not actually being used, then no such attention is necessary.

Hi Stuart,

In all honesty, since I never believed in SENDER-ID, didn't see how it 
resolved the "path independent" problem, I never directly supported it 
but I didn't deny it existence and used SUBMITTER as our indirect support.

But what wasn't ever fully investigated if looking for SPF2.0 records 
was necessary since over 84% of the time, the 5321.MailFrom domain was 
the same as the PRA.

So I agree this is very good material to get resolved. I claim no 
field experience expertise with SPF2.0 like records.  I know there are 
stated conflicts, but I never got a real feel for that.

I mostly focused that it was a payload technology and if you supported 
SPF, how did it change how a SMTP receiver operated in requiring it to 
do a payload download or acceptance.  This is why I supported 
SUBMITTER as a indirect non-payload method to support SENDER-ID.

In my view, for SPF-BIF, it should stay away from possible erroneous 
conclusions about the SENDER-ID experiment (let some other WG 
determine that) and just focus at the SPF codification and consider 
the optional indirect support for the SMTP extension solution 
SUBMITTER offers.

The fact is this:

Add the ESMTP keyword exposure of SUBMITTER to your ESMTP server EHLO 
response and you quickly will see clients adding the SUBMITTER= 
parameter to the MAIL FROM command.  Any server that is not exposing 
the keyword can not be making a judgement about it over others that do.

Dear colleagues,

No hat.

Despite my previous grousing about the lack of success criteria in the
IESG note making SPF and Sender-ID experimental, I cannot see any way
to interpret the experiment as one other than having two slightly
incompatible protocols using the same record from the DNS, only with
different meanings.  It seems to me therefore that any purported
conclusion of the experiment necessarily has something to say about
both technologies, even if the focus of that experiment conclusion is
on only one of the technologies.

If someone disagrees with that view, then I'd be very interested in
hearing why.

Best regards,

A

The challenge is in the detail of "say something about both technologies".

The premise that you offer, "slightly incompatible protocols using the same 
record from the DNS, only with different meanings" does seem terse and the 
essence of what's interesting.

Perhaps the commentary worth reporting on can be limited to:

1. Statements about adoption levels of each

2. Statements about known conflicts by having the records shared.

I actually suspect there is little objective data on the latter.

Perhaps it can be argued that a sufficiently clear differential on #1 will 
eliminate the need for answering #2?

Hello,

We would like to start the discussions about the issues.  Here are 
some points from the SPFBIS Charter as guidelines:

   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.

   Specifically out-of-scope for this working group:

     * Revisiting past technical arguments where consensus was reached 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 the SPF protocols.

     * Removal of existing features that are in current use.

Issue #9 is up for discussion.  It is based on the following:

"This may be a can of worms,  but since we're chartered to tidy up 
where appropriate, I wonder if this might be such a spot.

RFC4408 registered a new DNS RRtype, SPF, code 99.

Are we able to tell how much deployment it's received?  If only 
little (which is what I suspect, but I've no data to back that up), 
would it be appropriate to relegate its discussion to an appendix and 
call it "historic"?"

The WG Chairs request your comments.  Please keep the subject line so 
that it is easy for us to keep track of the discussion.

Hi Andrew,

While I believe there is an "common" integrated aspect to it via the 
SUBMITTER protocol warranting SPF-BIS discussion, in principle I 
believe no (especially negatives) determination should be done on 
SENDER-ID (and SUBMITTER) without having input for the principal cogs 
involved with the protocol namely Microsoft.  In addition, as a 
product vendor, I can't just decide to remove a feature just because 
the IETF subjectively came up with some conclusion and presumed there 
will not be an support "Hey what happen!?" repercussions.  I'm sure 
many have experienced this numerous time when its seems some "legacy" 
item was not used and hence in the name of fine tuning, clean things 
up, etc, in fact find out it was used after the rugged as been pulled 
- a non-zero costly mistake.

On the other hand, if there is something related to the suggestion 
that its authors have abandoned it and no longer support the 
technologies, then in my view, that should be one of the first 
questions to be answered.

If there was still some utility and there is still domain support for 
it, but there many feel there is some conflicts and/or contention 
issues, then in my engineering opinion, a solution should be found 
that perhaps not just focuses on a singular abandonment option.   If 
that indeed is the desire, then it also means a decision to abandon 
its companion SMTP level technology - SUBMITTER.

This is what complicates it because there are more than one pieces of 
software that are altered, one that just needs to work with RFC5322 
and one designed to work with RFC5321.

Since its a complicated issue, my suggestion the IETF should not be 
making that decision until the people who put together 
SENDER-ID/SUBMITTER and the thousands, if not millions of domains who 
have long supported SENDER-ID/SUBMITTER are involved in this 
discussion and contributes to that decision.

   The IESG of that time wasn't thinking in terms of "success criteria"
for Experimental RFCs.  (IMHO, of course, there were no Narrative Scribes
at the time.)

   The IESG has since started giving serious consideration to what might
represent "success" or "failure" of an Experiment. So it is certainly
fair game to try to satisfy that (vague) criterion.

   This is an excellent way to look at it. (IMHO.)

   The trouble is, how can we tell which published v=spf1 records intend 
which meaning?

   Both SPF and Sender-ID specified algorithms for evaluating these
records; and while the difference in meaning was usually slight, the
difference in algorithms was significant.

   I quite agree!

> technologies.

   I look at it a bit differently.

   This WG was created to "advance" SPF to Proposed Standard. The IESG
(IMHO) agreed that an apparent obstacle to that was the existence of
two Experimental protocols using the same DNS record differently.

   One way out of that would be to have the SPF Proposed Standard define
a totally new DNS record, and avoid any confusion. (It appears that
nobody liked that way.)

   Another way is to conclude both Experiments and declare a single
meaning for the already-existing v=spf1 records. Enough people liked
that that this WG was created.

   That means that this WG _must_ consider the opinions of those who
prefer Sender-ID meanings; and IMHO the IESG wants the process of
considering those documented in the first milestone:
" 
" Aug 2012  A document describing the SPF/Sender-ID experiment and its
"           conclusions to the IESG for publication.

> If someone disagrees with that view, then I'd be very interested in
> hearing why.

   I really don't "disagree" -- but I think the focus should be on our
obligation to consider any alleged benefits of the Sender-ID meaning.

   This does seem in discord with the "Specifically out-of-scope"
" 
" * Discussion of the merits of Sender-ID in preference to SPF

item; but I think we're safe to interpret the "describe the experiment"
language as more-recently-added, and more binding.

   It is, IMHO, possible to "describe" an "experiment" without arguing
the perceived "merits" of one approach.

   I hope the WGCs will be tolerant of discussion of the Sender-ID
meaning for the v=spf1 records to the extent it contributes to the
wording of our first milestone.

   Our progress will be easiest if we satisfy Sender-ID proponents that
their opinions have been respected and considered _before_ that document
goes to IETF LastCall.

I'm not aware of anyone other than Hotmail who did a non-trivial
deployment of Sender-ID, and I wouldn't expect them to publish their
results.

So I agree, there isn't likely to be enough data to say anything about
#2.

I'm OK with the list.

>RFC4408 registered a new DNS RRtype, SPF, code 99.

I think it's worth looking at the SPF RR and deciding whether it
provides an overall benefit.

John,

Historical observation.  I think you may find that the SPF RR was done 
in part to support version SPF V1 in addition to using the TXT RR, but 
the major perceived benefit of having the SPF RR in place and available 
was for any future SPF versions (e.g., V3 the next logical future 
version of SPF V1).

As I recall, in those days there were some concerns about overusing the 
TXT RR, making a separate RR for SPF a logical step for both the 
applications developers and the user implementers (those who put the RRs 
in their DNS host files).

As such, I think its existence does provide a benefit for both V1 and 
any future SPF implementations.  Arguably, far less user implementers 
have added SPF RR records to their host files than TXT RR records, but 
then the V1 experimental does support both.  My guess is that a future 
SPF V3 will probably have only want to support the SPF RR.

Best,

Alan M.

Hector,

I believe you are mistaken.  SUBMITTER and SPF are unrelated.  It's not about 
SPF/Sender-ID integration at all.  It's about using body PRA Sender-ID results 
instead of SPF.

I don't think SUBMITTER is on topic for this working group.

I would like to suggest a nuance about the removal aspect of the charter.  I 
think there is an implicit expectation in the way that the charter is drafted 
that removal of features that are in use will inevitably harm 
interoperability.  In this one case, I don't think it does.

We can tell based on DNS surveys that there is very little Type SPF 
deployment.  In cases where there is a type SPF record, there are three 
possible cases:

1.  Identical Type TXT record published

2.  Non-identical type TXT record published

3.  No TXT record published.

Since virtually all SPF records are only published as Type TXT, there is no 
ineroperability benefit to also publishing Type SPF.  

If there is a non-identical record published the publishing domain will get 
inconsistent results since not all receivers of SPF records look up Type SPF. 
Publishing the same information in two places places an operational burden 
(not just the dual publishing, but also keeping the information in sync).

If there is no TXT record and just a Type SPF record then the results are 
going to be poor.  Only Type SPF checkers will see the record.

The RFC 4408 language (SHOULD check SPF first) also causes additional DNS 
lookups that will almost always be fruitless.

I think that Type SPF was created based on fear of what might happen if Type 
TXT were overused.  Those fears have not come to pass and we should drop Type 
SPF as harmful to interopability.  There is no operational case for a 
transition now and I think it's safe to assume there won't be.

There is no reasonable case where dropping Type SPF will cause SPF record 
publishers to change their records (I don't consider publishing only a Type 
SPF record a reasonable case - it just doesn't work due to the predominance of 
Type TXT in SPF records).

I don't object to reserving Type SPF for some future non-compatible SPFvX, but 
for v1, I think we can and should drop it.

It is part of the cluster of documents that included Sender-ID, PRA and SPF=
, insofar as the same IESG Note was attached to it.=20

I've been collecting data about SUBMITTER deployment as part of the interop=
erability report idea, and the experiment closure.  I can certainly stop an=
d change that if we decide it's out of scope, but they look quite linked to=
 me.

Not only "in those days".  Some of us who have spent a little time
working on the DNS continue to have reservations about overuse of the
TXT RRTYPE on the grounds that the DNS is a typed database, and the
overloading of TXT violates the typing system.  I am aware of the
reasons why people use TXT records, and I'm not the least bit
surprised that the SPF RRTYPE turns out to have been a waste of bits.
But TXT subtyping has its problems (IMO not least of which is that
we're seeing three layers of underscore, with no principled reason why
it shouldn't go deeper).  Someone will accuse me of empty or, worse,
academic formalism, I'm sure; but I still think the TXT records are a
dirty hack that mostly works because there are still few enough of
them that it doesn't hurt yet.  I don't believe that will be true
forever (although I've certainly been wrong before), and when there
are enough TXT records with in-RNAME subtyping that we have a problem,
it will be much harder to clean up.

While I pray to the DNS fairy that your prediction comes true, I don't
believe it will.  SPF v3 will need to be backward compatible with v2
and v1, which means that it'll use TXT too.

I agree it's part of the experimental closeout.

I don't the it's something that's in scope to consider for 4408bis itself.

These data were submitted earlier by Philip Gladstone in response to this q=
uestion:

http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00354.html

Are there others on the list that can produce similar reports?  My own data=
 roughly match the large number of SPF-publishing domains, but don't break =
it down by RR type.  I can work on creating such a report but it will take =
me a week or two to do so due to other commitments.

Perhaps a way to get around the issue of TXT RRs backward compatibility 
with SPF V1 in future version may be found in how SPF V3 and other 
future versions will specify how they handle such requests.

In other words, in any future versions, specify a check for SPF RR as 
the first request and then, failing an SPF RR, go look for a TXT RR for 
compatibility with V1 in yet another request.

With enough requests for SPF RR preceding the TXT RR requests, as the 
newer implementation pattern become more frequently observed, hopefully 
most DNS administrators will get the hint and establish the new SPF RRs 
in their authoritative host zone files and ultimately be able to get rid 
of the SPF V1 TXT RRs.

This is probably the essential, objective observation.

If correct, it means that there is both no benefit in retaining the record and 
no detriment in removing it.[1]

Even better is that removing it makes the specification that much simpler.

Considering how it "might" be used or how it "should" be used or any other 
hypothetical or preference is not productive.


d/

[1] FWIW I both would expect it to be true and believe it actually is.

We aren't here to debate some theoretical future SPF version, but the one we 
have.  Type 99 (SPF) is not serving a useful purpose right now, so we should 
mark it deprecated (don't use) and quit worrying about it.  The DNS Type can't 
be reused for something else, so it can always be revived in the event there's 
some future effort that can effectively use it.

Use of a TXT directly under the domain name doesn't scale, because it takes the 
equivalent of deep packet inspection to distinguish among different apps' use of 
the record.[1]  It also means that all of those records get return together, 
potentially hitting some maximums.

However, SPF uses the record already and doesn't use the new RR.  No precedent 
is being set by acknowledging this reality.  In spite of the fact that an SPF RR 
is a cleaner approach, enough time has passed to make clear that it's not being 
adopted and, therefore, won't be.


d/

[1]  Just to be thorough, it's worth noting that use of an underscore nodename 
fixes the scaling and ambiguity concerns, since it defines the /one/ application 
using the record.

While yes, MAAWG needs to hear about current status, folks should be aware that 
the current IETF working group effort was actually triggered by a recent desire 
in MAAWG to get SPF standardized.  It followed a circuitous path and took 
awhile, but that was the impetus that I observed.

Only sort of, and it brings with it additional costs; but I don't
think this is the right list on which to have that debate.  We don't
have to agree about why some dumb thing has managed to establish
itself (or even whether it's dumb) in order to agree _that_ it has
established itself, and the latter is the only question here.

For systems reasons, openspf.org has been replaced (for now, at least) by o=
penspf.net.  The URL in that erratum can be accessed at that alternate doma=
in.  Thus, go here: http://www.openspf.net/RFC_4408/Errata.

The page contains links to eight errata that were logged on that web site, =
but not in the RFC Editor's errata tracking tool.  Do we need to create IET=
F errata instead?

Agree that pursuing this isn't for this list; however in practical terms, that 
change in how the record has used seems to have fundamentally altered the 
acceptability of using TXT (and SRV) records.

I'll also mention that I hadn't heard the "additional costs" concern as a 
serious concern.  To the extent it has meaningful constituency, it would be 
worth finding the right venue for resolving it.

That was my thinking.  But at the moment, all we need to do is to put
the type 99 RR on the list of issues to settle before we're done.

Sorry for being late.  I forgot about this one.

Paragraph 2.2, The MAIL FROM Identity, includes this statement:

   SPF clients MUST check the "MAIL FROM" identity.  SPF clients check
   the "MAIL FROM" identity by applying the check_host() function to the
   "MAIL FROM" identity as the <sender>.

There are applications that check HELO first and can reach a final conclusion 
about message disposition based on that check.  In such a case, the Mail From 
check is a waste of resources.

I'm recommend changing this to either:

SPF clients MUST check the "MAIL FROM" identity unless a HELO check has 
already produced a definititive policy result. ...

or

SPF clients SHOULD check the "MAIL FROM" identity (e.g. unless a HELO check 
has already produced a definititive policy result). ...

I don't care either way, as long as procedure is followed.  And I don't kno=
w if there's anything formal about handling externally-tracked errata.

I just don't want this to come back on us later.

If anyone would like those changes to be discussed by the working 
group, could the person please post them to this mailing list so that 
I can put them into the tracker?

If a change is already listed ( 
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/spfbis/trac/report/1 ), there is no 
need to raise it again as it will be discussed.

No, it's easier to track them as issues as this working group will be 
working on 4408bis.  See my comment above.

Hi Scott,

I disagree with your opinion I am mistaken. Rather than provide a 
lengthy background and evidence of reasoning why it is 100% related to 
SPF, I will suggest that we do not go down this route to make any 
critical decisions about SENDER-ID/SUBMITTER until there is clear KB 
and indication its lost of value, no longer significant, lost 
significant level of support from domains and we get some form of 
input and opinion from key authors, i.e. Katz, Lyon and Allman.

Just consider any opinion that SUBMITTER is out of scope, would 
logically imply it is also out of scope for any final chartered 
product delivery, Interop Report or any decision about it.  Its seems 
odd to me that claiming something is out of scope, somehow also 
justifies to have a non-discussed implication and conclusion it is no 
longer supported.  I don't think we can have it both ways.

Do you realize there are many clients that does support it? I stated 
that simply adding the ESMTP SUBMITTER keyword to your EHLO response 
will help measure it usage, which to me is significant.

As I recall, the main MARID reason why we could just use a new RR was 
because around that time frame, there were still many DNS servers that 
did not support the recursion requirement to support new RR record SRV 
queries.   That was the stated reason I recall and I believe there was 
general agreement about that.

Microsoft DNS 4.0 was still a dominant server and it did not support 
recursion requirement nature, and if I recall, there was a patch but 
it as a hot request (not downloadble).

Even AD suffered as well, as well as JABBER and other protocols that 
had a specific RR record but  the fall back to common A/TXT was necessary

Windows 2000 was still just 3 years old, and DNS 5.0 came with Windows 
2003 so there was some migration period there.  Today, I will state 
that we would be very or more successful as evidence of better 
operations with AD and XMPP/Jabber.

FTR, there were also other non-MS DNS servers that also had issues so 
even if I got the patch for DNS 4.0 back then to explore new RR types 
(not just for SPF), it worked at the DNS 4.0 with manual updating of 
zone records and with direct queries in a LAN, but not always with 
queries across a WAN/internet.  I gave up on these "create a SRV 
protocol" projects because of this fact - simply too early for prime 
time reliability.  I think it is ready today.

I believe we could be jumping the guns because we need to consider the 
reasons why wasn't used and that include the fact that there was still 
a large population of DNS servers that didn't support the 
passthru/recursion requirements to make new RR named work without 
flaws and not requirement a fallback to common support record.

I don't think that dearth of RR records is an issue today.  The 
experience the same issue when I installed my Jabber Server a few 
years back. It had a SRV record for discovery and a fallback.  I 
recall believing just using the SRV record was enough and depending on 
the query path, it works very nicely, but for other paths it didn't 
and I had no choice but the add the other records. And finally when I 
expanded the jabber network with peers, maybe 1.5/2 years ago, I 
recall how smoothly it all worked not with these other paths.    Same 
experience with we installed a AD/LMAP server, but that was more 
successful because it was done more recently.

I suggest we talk about it and if we believe and conclude that it 
technical feasible and will have a high reliability and it improve the 
SPF protocol existence within DNS for SPF-BIS era and years to come, 
we should not just blatantly abandon it the original ideas we had for 
it - which was a long term support concept.  We all knew it wasn't 
going to be reliable back then - not all DNS servers were ready for 
it, but we want to get ready for it.

How do you justify this when there evidence that it is well supported 
by MTA clients?

You can not make SPF-BIF WG conclusions about SUBMITTER/SENDER-ID 
without make it a charter goal to prove this would the correction 
decision with minimal impact.  You just don't know that and I believe 
your ESMTP server expose the SUBMITTER keyword and see how much 
traffic you get from clients supporting,  you may (I hope) have a 
different opinion about it.

Now, I disagree with you to suggest they are not related on the 
fundamental principle both SPF and SID have one thing in common - 
they are both LMAP solutions which provided the basic protocol theory 
of an authorized DOMAIN::IP association assertion.

For the same reasons I encouraged Meng to add support for optional 
EHLO checking based on the LMAP analysis I did back in 2004:

 
http://www.winserver.com/public/antispam/lmap/draft-lmapanalysis1.htm

There is in fact, a 3rd domain PRA that Microsoft introduced with CEP 
(Caller Email Policy).  All together for an total and full 
implementation, we have three domain::IP assertions:

      CLIENT-DOMAIN::IP
      RETURN-PATH-DOMAIN::IP
      PRA-DOMAIN::IP

As a side and very important factor in the development was the fact 
that CEP offered its own DNS subdomain name space using the subdomain 
prefix ".ep"  In fact, even today you can still see the old 
experimental Microsoft's Hotmail.com CEP record with its XML-based SPF 
record:

     nslookup -query=TXT _ep.hotmail.com

      Non-authoritative answer:
     _ep.hotmail.com text =

      "<ep xmlns='http://ms.net/1' testing='true'>
       <out>
         <m>
          <indirect>list1._ep.hotmail.com</indirect>
          <indirect>list2._ep.hotmail.com</indirect>
          <indirect>list3._ep.hotmail.com</indirect>
         </m>
       </out>
      </ep>"

What is important to remember was the fact the CEP had its own 
namespace and there would be no conflict with SPF record if it had 
indeed remained that way.

But the interest in MARID was merge and produce a common open public 
standard and there were a few key issues we voted on:

    - Should we use a XML format?  It was interesting as a 
"Direction", but XML
      was not deemed a good idea for DNS TXT based results with its 
obvious waste
      in its text overhead,

    - The desire to have a common format and language to support the 
already existing
      high and growing based of SPF domains with v=spf1 records, and

    - as stated about, CEP had its own DNS subdomain name space using 
the "_ep."
      subdomain prefix and if  were to support two protocols, even 
after we agree
      they had the same record language, it meant there would be two 
different
      DNS TXT queries with the odds that they will have same context. 
One for SPF
      and one for CEP.  There was a desire to able to read both 
records with one
      single TXT query under one name space.  If this was the genesis 
of a unforeseen
      conflict, thats another story.

Overall, in MARID we came to consensus of the deliverables that came 
with a technical acknowledgment there was interest in three different 
domains; two of them was covered with SPF with no payload requirement, 
and a 3rd domain based on the payload PRA. What was common between all 
of them was the IP.

We can not dispense the idea that any vendor wanted to offer the best 
of all SPF-like worlds to their customers.

The only beef I had was that SID promoted the payload in order to 
support that 3rd domain.

So I fought hard to push this point it would be a very wasteful 
requirement when a major interest in SPF was in fact to address the 
accept/bounce problem that SORBIG highlighted as a major SMTP relaxed 
security issue. I communicated extensively with Harry offlist about 
this and was very happy to see that in the final Meng/Microsoft 
agreement of the new goals, SUBMITTER was among them to help address 
the PAYLOAD concern as the only way to get the PRA.

So Scott, I fundamentally feel SPF-BIF can not ignore its relationship 
with SID/SUBMITTER especially when its now also is trying to make some 
decisions about the future of SID/SUBMITTER.

I'm not aware of anyone other than Hotmail who did a non-trivial deployment=
 of Sender-ID, and I wouldn't expect them to publish their results.

So I agree, there isn't likely to be enough data to say anything about #2.

Just to clarify my suggestion: The point of doing the implementation report=
 exercise (see RFC5657) about SPF is to determine what parts of the SPF spe=
c itself have been deployed (and should stay), which have interoperability =
problems (and should be clarified or fixed), and which are not in use (and =
should be deprecated or even removed).  I suggested this as a tool to makin=
g the RFC4408bis document as strong and tight as possible.

I'm not suggesting undertaking an interoperability report for Sender-ID, PR=
A or SUBMITTER except as much as we need to do so to produce our "conclusio=
n of the experiment" document.

Do you have a list of these?  I couldn't find one.

I did already mention these errata in http://www.ietf.org/mail-
archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00274.html - but they don't seem to have made it 
into the tracker.

Do you want one mail per item?

Outside of the case where the envelope sender is empty (e.g. NDR), most of =
the HELO domains we observe are garbage.

Is there a reason why we do not recommend that HELO be checked only if Mail=
 From does not produce a definitive policy result?

Sorry for being late.  I forgot about this one.

Paragraph 2.2, The MAIL FROM Identity, includes this statement:

   SPF clients MUST check the "MAIL FROM" identity.  SPF clients check
   the "MAIL FROM" identity by applying the check_host() function to the
   "MAIL FROM" identity as the <sender>.

There are applications that check HELO first and can reach a final conclusi=
on about message disposition based on that check.  In such a case, the Mail=
 From check is a waste of resources.

I'm recommend changing this to either:

SPF clients MUST check the "MAIL FROM" identity unless a HELO check has alr=
eady produced a definititive policy result. ...

or

SPF clients SHOULD check the "MAIL FROM" identity (e.g. unless a HELO check=
 has already produced a definititive policy result). ...

If you get a FQDN HELO checks can be useful.  

Generally the most complex HELO record you'll see is v=spf1 a -all.  In my 
experience HELO records are much less expensive in DNS looksups, so even if 
it's less likely to be definitive (if it's not a FQDN, you just don't look it 
up, no harm done) it's less expensive so doing the HELO check first can be a 
resource saver.

There's no interoperability benefit to doing one or the other check first.  
There's equally no point in trying to insist on software doing additional 
checks once it already has a definitive result.  I don't think we want to 
specify either.

>From the point of view of defining the mechanism itself, that is probably t=
he right thing to do.

But: as a large-scale receiver, I am less concerned about conserving DNS qu=
eries than getting a definitive authentication result the first time at bat=
, especially when that authentication result will trigger a number of secon=
dary actions associated with the authenticated identity - such as positive =
identification UX, authentication policy, domain reputation, and so on.

If the spec leaves it up to me, I will choose the entity statistically most=
 likely to yield the result I need. I just hope this freedom of choice does=
n't hurt interoperability by not being prescriptive.

As long as the working group stays out of trying to define local policy beyond 
what 4408 does, I think it's not a problem.

In any case, I think that the HELO check first approach I described only makes 
sense if a site is doing SPF based rejection at SMTP time, I don't think it's 
your use case.

Murray, I posted a report to your question in IETF-SMTP.

    http://www.imc.org/ietf-smtp/mail-archive/msg07117.html

Note, this archive reference does masked out the domain data listed. 
So list copy of the submitted message would show the better info.

I don't think good guys will issue garbage, only bad guys, so what you 
observe if reflective of the amount of bad guys going your way.

The different between the client domain and mail from, is there is 
historical precedence for incorrect configurations with requiring a 
valid domain, MUAs that do no have a public side domain name (hence 
why some use the NETBIOS computer name) or more accurately provide a 
domain that does not map with the the connection IP. Hence there is no 
requirement with the public port SMTP to validate the client domain 
since there is history of good guys erroneous failure.  Only the 
private port SUBMISSION protocol enforces a proper client domain and 
allows for validation and canceling of a transaction on this basis.

But there are rules that one can apply. If the client explicit issues 
a IP literal, then this MUST be match the connecting IP, a valid 
technical reason for enforcement.  If the client issues a domain that 
is specifically own your network or perhaps LocalHost, this too offers 
strong triggers to do IP matching checks.  The issue is when the 
domain is anonymous and has some form of a valid Domain format (at 
least one dot).  What do you do then?

With the MAIL FROM, SMTP requires this to be 100% valid, but no 
enforcement to check if that is true.  But it MUST be valid, no room 
for errors, and this opens the door to do introduce validation methods 
like SPF or even a CBV.

> Is there a reason why we do not recommend that HELO be checked only if Mail From 
> does not produce a definitive policy result?

There was always a lot of talk that an client domain check is all one 
needed, like CSV/DNA idea was proposing.  It followed the Chain of 
Trust concept from hop to hop, machine to machine.

If one used the SUBMISSION (RFC4409( protocol, EHLO must be correct, 
so that was another point of validation.  But then again, I always 
felt that since 4409 requires ESMTP AUTH (authentication), then 
perhaps any EHLO or even MAIL FROM SPF checking was redundant.  In 
fact, with the growth of NATS and the SOHO's there was a growth of 
where the even usage of an EHLO IP literal no longer matched the 
Connection IP, i.e, an older version of Thunderbird used the private 
LAN machine [IP Address] but on the public side the server saw the NAT 
public address.  So our SUBMISSION server offers operators an option 
to delay any EHLO checking until the ESMTP AUTH is completed.

Anyway, with your question, I once felt this was probably the right 
way, but you have to always ask yourself what if one of them was a 
hard fail and the other PASS, which one has a stronger requirement to 
be correct?  If the MAIL FROM check is valid, shouldn't the EHLO check 
be correct as well and vice versa?

The LMAP analysis here tried to address some of these questions by 
looking all all possible combinations of input and logical results, 
including when it made sense or was impossible to occur in a valid system.

    http://www.winserver.com/public/antispam/lmap/draft-lmapanalysis1.htm

If I recall, when this was discussed and it was at length, I think an 
answer was or rather one that was needed to be true, was that if you 
supported SPF (or a domain created SPF records to send mail), then SPF 
compliance reinforce SMTP compliancy by making sure the client domain 
was always using 100% valid EHLO/IP domains and not junk.  This was to 
help systems that was doing EHLO SPF check reduce DNS NXDOMAIN delays.

Not sure if this is answering the question, I am suggesting to look at 
the conditions and results and ask yourself which once make sense or 
doesn't.

     If the MAIL FROM SPF check is valid, why would an EHLO check not 
be done, and
     if so, what if its was invalid?  Is it safe to suggest that valid 
MAIL FROM
     checks trumps the possibility of a EHLO check failure.

I suggest that its an illogical condition under across the board 
compliant system.

Andrew and I asked for participants to review RFC 4408 without 
getting into a discussion about the issues.  The working group now 
has a list of open issues. The discussion on issue #9, #2, #3 and #8 
started today.  As Issue #2, #3 and #8 are editorial, they don't need 
to be addressed immediately.  The group could wait until there is a 
working group Internet-Draft to discuss about editorial 
questions.  We are not ignoring these issues; they are listed in the 
tracker and we will go through them in a few months.

Issue #9 was opened for discussion as we don't know what to do about 
it.  It's better to tackle issues such as that one now as it may be 
useful for the conclusion document.  As the discussions evolves, we 
will have a clearer view of the direction the working group would 
like to take, what needs to be fixed, how to fix, etc.

I understand that the way the work is being done is unusual.  The 
group started without any idea about how to conclude the experiments 
or what should go in the conclusion document.  Over the next few 
weeks, or more, the discussions should shape up that document.

I went through http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4408 
and opened tickets for each item.  If the comments from 
http://www.openspf.net/RFC_4408/Errata which require discussion are 
posted to the mailing list, I don't have to figure out the Errata 
status or worry about process.

>Do you want one mail per item?

No, they can be posted to this mailing list as one message and I'll 
sort the items for tracking.

I'm expecting you won't do smtp time rejection based on SPF results.

Errata approved by the SPF council and/or by the RFC authors

    Add %v macro to ABNF grammar
    Undefined "uric" set
    Recommend an SMTP reply code for optional PermError rejections
    Received-SPF examples have incorrect syntax
    unknown-modifier is too greedy
    Empty domain spec on exp modifier
    PermError on invalid domains after macro expansion
    Miscellaneous confirmed typos

Add %v macro to ABNF grammar

Suggested wording:

The ABNF grammar in section 8.1 and appendix A are missing the letter "v". The 
macro-letter production should look like this:

      macro-letter     = "s" / "l" / "o" / "d" / "i" / "p" / "h" /
                         "c" / "r" / "t" / "v"

Rationale:

The %v macro is listed in the table of macros in section 8.1, and used in the 
examples.
Undefined uric set

Suggested wording:

Replace "uric" by "unreserved" in section 8.1.

Rationale:

uric was defined in RFC 2396, but later removed in RFC 3986. Because RFC 4408 
has a normative reference to RFC 3986 (AKA STD 66) uric has to be replaced by 
a modern set of characters affected by the URL escaping for uppercased macros.

Reported by Julian and confirmed by Wayne.
Recommend an SMTP reply code for optional PermError rejections

Suggested wording:

 If the message is rejected during the SMTP transaction for
 this reason, the software SHOULD use an SMTP reply code of
 550 and, if supported, the 5.5.2 DSN code.

(to be added at the end of 2.5.7 in the style of the wording at the end of 
2.5.6)

Rationale:

The PermError section in Wayne's first SPF I-D stated:

 A PermError result means that the domain's published records
 couldn't be correctly interpreted.  Checking software SHOULD
 reject the message.  If rejecting during SMTP transaction
 time, it SHOULD use an SMTP reply code of 550 and, if supported,
 the 5.5.2 DSN code.

This was removed later when the first SHOULD was identified as receiver policy.

However the second SHOULD recommends an appropriate reply code for receivers 
wishing to reject PermError. The issue was resolved in an appeal to the SPF 
Council proposing to use a similar wording as for FAIL, but the missing status 
code didn't make it again into the final draft.
Received-SPF examples use incorrect syntax

Suggested wording:

The examples in section 7 are incorrectly quoted, and should look like this:

      Received-SPF: Pass (mybox.example.org: domain of
       myname@example.com designates 192.0.2.1 as permitted sender)
          receiver=mybox.example.org; client-ip=192.0.2.1;
          envelope-from="myname@example.com"; helo=foo.example.com;

      Received-SPF: Fail (mybox.example.org: domain of
                        myname@example.com does not designate
                        192.0.2.1 as permitted sender)
                        identity=mailfrom; client-ip=192.0.2.1;
                        envelope-from="myname@example.com";

Rationale:

In RFC4408, key-value-pair is defined as:

      key-value-pair   = key [CFWS] "=" ( dot-atom / quoted-string )

However, the examples look like this:

      Received-SPF: Pass (mybox.example.org: domain of
       myname@example.com designates 192.0.2.1 as permitted sender)
          receiver=mybox.example.org; client-ip=192.0.2.1;
          envelope-from=<myname@example.com>; helo=foo.example.com;

Notice that envelope-from in both cases is NOT a dot-atom or quoted-string.

None of '<','>','@' are legal chars for dot-atom.
unknown-modifier clause is too greedy in ABNF

In section 4.6.1/2, unknown-modifier should be changed to:

      unknown-modifier = name "=" macro-string
                         ; where name is not any known modifier

Rationale:

The unknown-modifier clause is too greedy, causing any syntax errors in 
redirect or explanation to simply become unknown-modifier. For instance, "exp=-
all" would match unknown-modifier. This was not the intent.

For a similar case see RFC 2822, where the field names of any optional-field 
MUST NOT be identical to any field name specified elsewhere in this standard.
Empty domain-spec on exp modifier

Problem statement:

Section 6.2/4 says:

    If domain-spec is empty, or there are any DNS processing errors (any RCODE 
other than 0), or if no records are returned, or if more than one record is 
returned, or if there are syntax errors in the explanation string, then 
proceed as if no exp modifier was given.

However, 6.2/1 gives the grammar for exp as:

      explanation = "exp" "=" domain-spec
      domain-spec      = macro-string domain-end
      domain-end       = ( "." toplabel [ "." ] ) / macro-expand

Thus, domain-spec can never be empty. Syntax errors require a permerror 
result, which conflicts with the instruction to "proceed as if no exp modifier 
was given."

Suggested fix and rationale:

Section 6.2/4 should be changed to say:

    If there are any DNS processing errors (any RCODE other than 0), or if no 
records are returned, or if more than one record is returned, or if there are 
syntax errors in the explanation string, then proceed as if no exp modifier was 
given.

The exp and redirect modifiers are special since they are included in the spec. 
They must be fully parsed, with any resulting Permerror, even when exp= is not 
otherwise supported. Clear syntax errors are supposed to be identified a.s.a.p. 
and reported as PermError, and supporting explanations in syntax isn't 
optional.

The prose obviously wants that an empty <target-name> and similar issues after 
the macro expansion of <domain-spec> are ignored. It's more important to 
reject the FAIL than to deal with obscure explanation issues.
PermError on invalid domains after macro expansion

Problem statement:

The Permerror definition ends with:

    Be aware that if the domain owner uses macros (Section 8), it is possible 
that this result is due to the checked identities having an unexpected format.

A <target-name> after macro expansion of <domain-spec> can be invalid, i.e. a 
string not suited for DNS queries like foo..example (adjacent dots), a 
<target-name> with overlong labels, or similar issues not permitted in the DNS 
syntax.

Suggested fix (variant 1):

The last sentence in the Permerror definition is misleading. A syntactically 
malformed <target-name> can be also handled as no match. The specification 
should say:

    Be aware that if the domain owner uses macros (Section 8), it is possible 
that this result is due to the checked identities having an unexpected format.

    Please note that an unexpected <target-name> can be also handled as no 
match, ideally implementations document how they handle such issues. The 
outcome for an unexpected <domain-spec> without macros might differ from the 
outcome for an unexpected <target-name> after macro expansion.

Suggested fix (Variant 2):

The last sentence in the Permerror definition is misleading. A syntactically 
malformed <target-name> can be also handled as no match. The specification 
should say:

    Be aware that it is also possible that this result is generated by certain 
SPF clients due to the input arguments having an unexpected format; see 
Section 4.8.

At the end of Section 4.8 add:

    Note: Historically, this document has made no provisions for how to handle 
<domain-spec>s, or macro-expansions thereof, that are syntactically invalid 
per [RFC1035], such as names with empty labels (e.g., "foo..example.com") or 
overlong labels (more than 63 characters). Some implementations choose to 
treat as a no-match mechanisms, and ignore modifiers, with such names, whereas 
others throw a "PermError" exception. The outcome for an unexpected <domain-
spec> without macros might even differ from that for an unexpected <target-
name> after macro expansion.

Rationale:

Reporting a TempError in such cases is no option, the syntax problem won't go 
away for a given sender policy, HELO identity, envelope sender address, and 
sending IP combination with a try again later TempError approach. If anything 
else is as expected the sender policy might need to be fixed manually, 
supporting PermError.

If the DNS syntax problem is caused by random net abuse, or intentionally by 
an attacker, a no match approach, eventually reaching a FAIL for -all or 
whatever the sender policy offers, is better. In common practice this problem 
is handled as no match OR PermError, like similar problems explicitly 
addressed in the specification.
Miscellaneous typos

    Missing indentation for the second paragraph of the [US-ASCII] reference 
reported by Wayne.
    Missing line break on page 46 before mary.mobile-users reported by Wayne.
    Typo: "Danish" instead of "Danisch" in the references confirmed by Wayne 
and Frank.
    Missing words in the last sentence of the third paragraph of section 6.1: 
"The <ip> and <sender> arguments remain the same as in the current evaluation 
of check_host()." (reported by Julian)

    July 1974

    <http://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc644.txt>

This belies the frequent claim that original efforts on email ignored security.

Not understanding how to write a technical document that wraps up an 
"experiment" that was started for ill defined (and IMO non-technical) reasons 
is unrelated to what we understand about what needs to go into 4408bis, so I'm 
still confused.

I fear that this process of discussing issues without a draft to document the 
consensus in is going to result in repetitive work.  First we discuss an issue 
and reach some rough consensus and then later when we have to put words on 
paper in a draft we'll inevitably end up rehashing the issue.

Every other IETF working group I've been involved in (which is admittedly not 
a large number) has started with a draft and then documented the results of 
their discussions in the draft as they went along (including groups that used 
an issue tracker).  This doesn't eliminate the risk you'll get to the end and 
have to revisit issues, but the current process this group seems to be 
following guarantees it.

You are likely correct. However I'll suggest that in this case it might be a 
Good Thing.

Normally, revision efforts start with the group's having good context about the 
document being revised.  The group typically has a significant number of folk 
who participated in the original writing effort and it typically has a 
significant number of people who have been "using" the document.

My guess is that SPFbis does not enjoy quite as much of such shared context as 
is usual.  Consequently, it might actually be helpful to take a "spiral" 
approach to the work; that is, visiting issues a couple of times, during 
different phases of the work.

That said, there certainly is a danger of re-hashing settled issues -- a serious 
concern, since of course it rarely happens in other IETF efforts...

There are two basic mechanisms that mitigate against inappropriate re-hashing 
(and yes, there are cases of 'appropriate' rehashing.)

The first is making sure the the original process of resolving a point has a 
clear, consensus-based outcome.

The second is wg management that enforces those decisions, absent explicit 
justification to re-open issues.

I suspect this wg's management team is  entirely up to both tasks...

There are quite a number of people here who have significant experience with 
the document and implementing SPF.  I don't see any need to design WG process 
around the assumption this is not the case.

There are a few significant issues that need discussion, but this isn't a case 
of something that's not working as designed that needs major overhaul.  I feel 
like we're making this harder than it is.  It would have been nice (IMO) for 
there to have been some discussion about how this is going to work.

I keep having questions and I'm pretty sure the chairs know how they intend to 
proceed, but I don't think it's ever been completely explained.

Hi,

There are also people who do not have such experience, and there are
people who have strong opinions about the topic.  Finally, and maybe
most importantly, there are several people who have extremely
wide-ranging opinions about matters, and have a history of collapsing
different issues and treating them as though they're all the same
thing.  

We want to avoid all of that.  You are correct in your impression that
this will probably result in some issues being discussed more than
once.  The idea is precisely that it's up to the chairs to interrupt,
if a discussion goes back over well-tilled ground, and ask what is
different this time.

 > There are a few significant issues that need discussion, but this

Also, in any case, we're not chartered to do a major overhaul.  But
this is the classic bikeshed situation: everyone has a strong opinion
about the details, and will argue about each of them, weaving in other
details of the bikeshed's construction and colour scheme without
regard for various distinctions.  That's exactly what our methodology
is intended to avoid.  Once the more controversial questions have been
addressed, we can integrate them into a candidate draft.  It seems to
me that there was an IETF contribution that someone thoughtfully
provided that could be a good start for that, but before we commit to
anything it seemed to me that it would be wise to clear away some of
the controversy.

When SM and I proposed taking this approach to the AD, the question of
whether to discuss the methodology first was broached.  I was, and
remain, opposed to that; all it would do is turn the management of the
WG's process itself into another bikeshed problem.  It wouldn't be the
first time, but I think the WG will be more productive the way we're
going.

I hope that explains things to your satisfaction.

Best,

A

Grepping "view external: query: $helo_name IN SPF", I found their
count came out at 85% of the corresponding TXT.  Yet I have no SPF RR,
so 85% is obviously not enough.

+1, although we should praise those who were so clever to use SPF, and
suggest to concede plenty of compatibility support.  However, as it's
already possible that a 4408-compliant checker ignores the SPF RR
type, we should recommend that new applications ignore it too.

I think the checks can be done in either order.  I think it's OK to che=
ck Mail=20
>From only and just do HELO for Null Mail From.  I'm not proposing we sp=
ecify=20
more policy, but that we back off a bit from over-specifying a check th=
at in=20
some cases will have no value.

For DMARC you'll need to go to the end of DATA before you can make a po=
licy=20
evaluation to reject, so the consideration I'm bringing up won't come i=
nto=20
play.

Somehow I never got your message on ietf-smtp.  Thanks for the link.

As you said over there, it's hard to tell just how much of this is from spa=
m clients and how much is from ESPs that are using SUBMITTER because your M=
TA offers it.  There's no doubt that you're seeing the traffic, but it's un=
fortunate that we can't tell which specific clients are doing it.  Regardle=
ss, I agree that it's unclear whether these are spammers or ESPs.  I think =
the interesting fact is that there are so few spf2.0/pra records out there =
tells me this is indeed opportunistic use of SUBMITTER rather than an indic=
ation of intended use of Sender-ID.

A survey of MTAs and their spam and virus accuracy plugins has reported tha=
t of over 20 MTA solutions that they test, only one implements SUBMITTER.  =
Surprisingly, that MTA is not MS Exchange.

It also raises an interesting procedural question: If we can categorize a t=
echnology like SUBMITTER as only ever having been deployed primarily by spa=
mmers, how does that figure into the questions of an interoperability repor=
t?

Just as an update on experiment data collection:

I have a report running on domains that publish SPF (TXT and RR, "spf1" and=
 "spf2.0") records to see if my data agree with Phillip's.  Also, John Levi=
ne is running some experiments on how many sources are querying his nameser=
vers for TXT vs. SPF records.  This will give us more in terms of deploymen=
t rates, which feeds into both of our deliverables.  We'll post our results=
 when we have them, and I can update my "experiment" draft as well.

Heuristics are essential for many aspects of practical applications in this space.

But they have no place in a protocol standard.  Protocols are for 
interoperability and this requires that both sides of the exchange rely on 
deterministic behaviors.

For the current discussion, that means the protocol needs to strictly dictate 
one of:

    1.  Do this one thing

    2.  Do these two things

    3.  Do this one thing; if it doesn't work, do this other thing.


Specifically:

1.  One thing:

     a)  EHLO MUST be checked; MAILFROM MUST be ignored, or

     b)  MAILFROM MUST be checked; EHLO is ignored


2.  Two things:

     EHLO and MAILFROM MUST be checked every time.


3.  Sequence

     a) EHLO MUST be checked first; if it succeeds, you are done; if it fails, 
MAILFROM MUST then be checked;

     b) MAILFROM MUST be checked first; if it succeeds, you are done; if it 
fails, EHLO MUST then be checked


Once this validation step is completed, the receiver moves into "local policy" 
and all sorts of heuristics might come into play, but have nothing to do with 
the SPF spec.

I suggest that the working group should determine the relative values of EHLO 
and MAILFROM domain checking.  If either of them has proved to be sufficiently 
useless, we should drop it and specify Alternative 1, from above.

If they are both deemed essential to retain, we should decide an #2 or #3a or #3b.

There's no interoperability benefit to adding this complexity to the specified requirements.

Perhaps I wasn't clear that I was describing an exercise to /reduce/ the 
ambiguity and complexity currently in the spec?

The exercise is to have the spec contain only /one/ of the choices I outlined.

   (I hope I'm taking this out of context!)

   This scares me.

   MAIL-FROM checks that return "This domain never sends email" certainly
_should_ lead to SMTP-time rejects. Otherwise you're almost guaranteeing
that any later problems will cause black-holing the email (and complicating
the resolution of honest problems).

   (What happens in lesser cases of SPF result on MAIL-FROM seems to be
an open issue which I would like to see discussed on this list.)

The 'you' in this case was limited to Hotmail.  I know they are planning on 
supporting DMARC (see dmarc.org) so they will need both SPF and DKIM results 
to reach a policy decision.  That means they need to get to the end of DATA.

I agree with you in the general case, although I think we need to be careful 
not to specify too much about required receiver policy in 4408bis.  Once 
4408bis is done though, I think it would be beneficial to recharter for a BCP 
or AS deliverable to get more into such recommendations.

I understood that.

That's the opposite direction of what I was trying to go with this issue.

I am assuming that we are not moving away from RFC 4408's perspective that 
recevier policy should generally not be specified.  Given that we aren't doing 
to specify what to do with SPF results, there's no benefit to specifying 
processing order.

RFC 4408 specifies that one SHOULD check HELO and MUST check Mail From.  If a 
HELO result is dispositive then the Mail From result is pointless.  Doing it 
doesn't help interoperability, it's just a waste of resources.

Whether doing 3a or 3b (or any of your other options) makes the most sense is 
a function of receiver policy.  There is also 4: Only check HELO if Mail From 
is Null.  I don't think trying to hard code any of these choices into 4408bis 
is helpful.

In SPF terms I think interoperabliity is defined in terms of "If I publish 
record A and send mail from server B, receivers will get SPF result C".  How 
receivers use that result is not something we should take on.

And nothing I am proposing disagrees with that... policy.

What I am proposed is to clarify and refine those SPF results.

Random choices about processing order can produce differing assessments of the 
objective, authentication information.  That's a definition of non-interoperability.

SPF publishers need to know how their records will be interpreted, at the 
validation level.  This is quite different from the next layer up, where the 
validated information is used -- and, yes, subject to receiver-side local poliy 
and no, not known to the publisher.

We were just given data to suggest that checking the EHLO is a waste of effort.

If it is a waste, we should drop it.

The current requirements of the specification means that the client SMTP cannot 
know what the basic validation will be.  We need to remove that non-determinacy.

So you think it is ok that the basic validation results will vary depending upon 
the whims of the receiver?

I mean this to be covered by 3b.

We agree on that goal.

Where we seem to be disagreeing is on the fact that letting the receiver decide 
what fields to validate makes result C unpredictable.

   The proper context _does_ help...

   But I fail to grok why hotmail shouldn't do an SMTP-time reject for
MAIL-FROM that returns SPF "This domain never sends email."

   Usless I misunderstand DMARC, it is based off of a DNS lookup based on
a From: header (in the DATA) -- which of course will often return nothing
at all.

   I also dislike "required receiver policy"; but we should be able to
discuss "meaning" of SPF records without requiring a particular policy;
and we should be able to highlight SPF's strength at reducing the
blowback/blackhole problem.

   It feels premature to me to assume that we can produce a good BCP
after the fact without laying the basis in the Proposed Standard.

Dear Andrew,

Sorry for the delay, but where is addressing excessive No Data or Name 
errors listed in the issues tracker?

The issue of squelching subsequent TXT or SPF record queries is only 
part of an amplification concern.

Should I resubmit these issues separately?

Regards,
Douglas Otis

The 'you' in this case was limited to Hotmail.  I know they are planning on=
 supporting DMARC (see dmarc.org) so they will need both SPF and DKIM resul=
ts to reach a policy decision.  That means they need to get to the end of D=

I agree with you in the general case, although I think we need to be carefu=

4408bis is done though, I think it would be beneficial to recharter for a B=

Correction (and clearly outside the scope of this list):

Unless you are referring to *where* the _dmarc record is found, the underly=
ing authentication mechanisms are operated as they normally would.

- SPF using the RFC5321.MailFrom
- DKIM using d=3D

Producing as many results as the receiver cares to check signatures and ide=
ntities. DMARC selects only the SPF/DKIM results associated with an identit=
y that aligns to the RFC5322.From domain as configured in the sender's DMAR=
C record.

Those interested can refer to: http://dmarc.org/draft-dmarc-base-00-01.txt

   No, actually, processing order has little or nothing to do with the
final result unless actions to be taken are required in real-time.

   I know Dave understands the distinction between EHLO and MAIL-FROM,
because he and I talked about it at length during MARID. But let me
state a difference for the rest of our readers:

- EHLO SPF results give an authentication of the EHLO string (or not)

- MAIL-FROM SPF results give an assurance that NDN responses are
  appropriate (or not, or maybe)

Neither of these gives any assurance that what will be visible to the
eventual reader is valid.

   EHLO results give a basis for a reputation query which Dave and I
used to agree was more useful than the IP address of the sending SMTP
client.

   MAIL-FROM results give an assurance that returning NDNs _after_
SMTP time is appropriate.

   The order in which these are done matters little. I would do the
EHLO query at the time I get the EHLO (and proceed with a reputation
check), and the MAIL-FROM check when I receive the MAIL-FROM (in hopes
that it would show no danger of blowback/blackhole). If I get a useful
reputation response (quite outside the SPF spec!) I might return a
"Get thee behind me, spammer!" result during the SMTP session. If I
get a "this domain never sends email", I'd return a policy error during
the SMTP session.

   Dave sounds as if he's claiming that which of these comes first should
be required in an SPF spec: I think that's silly.

   Other folks want to remove the EHLO check entirely because it's not
useful to them yet. While this isn't "silly", it is ill-advised IMHO.

>> RFC 4408 specifies that one SHOULD check HELO and MUST check Mail From.  
>> If a HELO result is dispositive then the Mail From result is pointless.

   Scott ignores timing issues. And, of course, the EHLO result is rather
seldom clearly "dispositive".

>> Doing it doesn't help interoperability, it's just a waste of resources.

   It's a waste of DNS resources in the few cases where the results of
an EHLO SPF check are available before a MAIL-FROM SPF check can be
started. That feels rare to me, and optimizing for rare cases in a
Proposed Standard isn't usually a good idea.

   No -- we should leave that option for future users of SPF to judge.
We can reasonably argue whether an EHLO SPF check should be MUST, SHOULD,
or MAY; but there's no justification to go to MUST NOT.

   I don't understand that statement. (Neither EHLO nor MAIL-FROM give a
final validation in the "ordinary" case.)

   I've given up tilting at such windmills.

   I agree.

   There are so many other sources of unpredictability that I decline to
get worked up over that one.

Dear Andrew,

Perhaps further clarification was needed.  Each of 10 SPF mechanisms may 
require 10 separate reflected DNS resolutions where SPF is insensitive 
to the number of No Data responses in multiples of 100 DNS 
transactions.  There is no limit for the number of No Data results, 
which represents a likely method malefactors might use in conjunction 
with local-part macros to implement DNS based attacks.  The gain of this 
attack depends on whether SPF/TXT, HELO/EHLO, Mail From, and PRA checks 
are made for each message.  Network amplification that could result is 
substantial.  This risk can be significantly mitigated by simply 
imposing reasonable No Data limits.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

This or something very similar is implemented in the Mail::SPF Perl module as 
max_void_dns_lookups.  From the Mail::SPF documentation:

An I<integer> denoting the maximum number of "void" DNS look-ups per SPF 
check, i.e. the number of DNS look-ups that were caused by DNS-interactive 
terms and macros (as defined in RFC 4408, 10.1, paragraphs 6 and 7) and that 
are allowed to return an empty answer with RCODE 0 or RCODE 3 (C<NXDOMAIN>) 
before processing is aborted with a C<permerror> result.  If B<undef> is 
specified, there is no stricter limit on the number of void DNS look-ups beyond 
the usual processing limits.  Defaults to B<2>.

Specifically, the DNS look-ups that are subject to this limit are those caused
by the C<a>, C<mx>, C<ptr>, and C<exists> mechanisms and the C<p> macro.

A value of B<2> is likely to prevent effective DoS attacks against third-party
victim domains.  However, a definite limit may cause C<permerror> results even
with certain (overly complex) innocent sender policies where useful results
would normally be returned.

Yes, but there isn't one input and output here.  There is a potential HELO 
check and a Mail From check each with their own results.  Two inputs, two 
outputs.  How they are evaluated (either separately or in tandem) is a matter 
for local policy.

I agree as far as "If I publish this SPF record and use this name in HELO I 
should get SPF Pass for HELO checks for this machine."  That must be reliable.

What order I run the code that produces the SPF results doesn't change what 
those results are, so there's no interoperability need to specify the order.

Since the receiver knows what the local policy is the receiver will know when, 
as an efficiency, it's not necessary to perform one of the checks.  We should 
let them decide that.  The current MUST for Mail From checks (which is where 
this started) doesn't make sense.

I think we were given an opinion.  Here's another set of data ...

I run the mail test service listed on http://www.openspf.net/Tools (spf-
test@openspf.net).  I have a small script that parses the current log file to 
see the distribution of results.  Note that these are generally very error 
prone since the people who generally use this are trying to initially deploy 
SPF.  There are probably duplicates in here from people that tried more than 
once (I didn't check).

Messages in current log file - 274

Mail From Pass - 109
Mail From None - 63
Mail From Fail - 66
Mail From Softfail - 15
Mail From Neutral - 11
Mail From Temperror - 0
Mail From Permerror - 10

HELO Pass - 43
HELO Fail - 7
HELO None - 214
HELO Softfail - 2
HELO Neutral - 1
HELO Temperror - 0
HELO Permerror - 7

So in this data set there's ~25% coverage of one kind of another for HELO 
(compared to ~75% for Mail From).  While this is significantly less deployment 
than for Mail From, it's hardly trivial.  It is, of course, a statistically 
insignificant sample, but I suspect it is at least generally representative of 
initial deployment efforts.

It's not.

We can't.  The non-determinacy is about local policy.  We aren't going to 
remove that.  The SPF results are quite deterministic.

No, I think that the need to doing them in some cases is a function of 
receiver policy.  I have an open source implementation for Postfix that has, 
for years, rejected messages with SPF HELO results of Fail, Softfail, 
Permerror by default before I even start to check Mail From.  I've never had a 
complaint.

No it doesn't.  The only thing I'm looking for is changing a MUST to a SHOULD 
so that in cases where, due to local policy, the reciever knows the check 
won't affect the message disposition there's no requirement for a pointless 
check.  

Fundamentally, I think any MUST MUST be a true requirement for 
interoperability.  I'm confident this isn't one of those.

It wasn't a surprise for high eMarketer usage. Like DKIM, SPF/SIDF 
became part of eMarketer and DMA recommendations for a BCP "Good Guy" 
behavior in PR efforts to lower its market negative image and 
especially promoting SIDF because of its industry standard and 
corporate endorsement image it brought.  Doing a quick search for "DMA 
SENDER-ID RECOMMENDATIONS"... first google link.

          http://www.the-dma.org/antispam/EmailBPFINAL.pdf

Looks like good stuff there, but do check out others too since this 
PDF seem to be more recent.

I'll check out our cached DNS data soon and focus on that on that 
question.  I should note however, I am not part of the school of 
thought to believe a low usage is enough justification from remove it 
from a standard which for all intent, it is already considered a 
standard in the eyes of long time implementators of product code.

I don't think this is justification nor the role of SPF-BIS to make 
that SIDF/SUBMITTER decision.  I would suggest since MARID there was 
two different groups starting with the fact SPF was growing on its own 
without the IETF. It was Microsoft with intro of the XML version of 
its SPF clone (CEP) that force the creation of MARID to solidify a 
common standard. And with the many contentions, including "Hate MS" 
camp, it is not a surprise at all to find the API resources at SPF web 
site to include software that doesn't support SENDER-ID, yet along 
SUBMITTER.

To get a better measurement, a look of the commercial MTA software 
vendors who even if they doubted SIDF value, like most things, a 
feature is added for corporate and  marketing value anyway.

But despite all that, there is something inherently wrong using high 
probable mis-read for a low usage threshold criteria to remove 
something with a disregard it may harm existing implementator business 
or customers.   When a BIG vs SMALL boys position is used to brush 
away the small boys, the small boys made just use ANTI=TRUST claims 
against the IETF if it endorses protocol changes with BIS work for 
established, well-entrenched implementors of these protocols.

I think the SPF-BIF group is playing with fire. Just for the record, 
and in all honesty, why even go there. Why all this obvious friction 
and contention when it doesn't have to be.

Until Microsoft views are seen here, I will stay away from this.

Sorry. :)

As concerns SUBMITTER: this group is reviewing things that have been publis=

to share data and operational experience that supports the inclusion of a g=

For 2.5 of those 6 years I've been responsible for Hotmail's inbound infras=

Until Microsoft views are seen here, I will stay away from this.

Thanks, Paul.

If I could ask a bit more of you and your data: While you're gearing up ano=
ther SPF/Sender-ID efficacy comparison, is there a way to determine whether=
 or not your Sender-ID implementation checks type 99 (SPF) DNS records, typ=
e 16 (TXT) records, or both?  And, if both, can you gauge what the percenta=
ges are for each?

"No" is a perfectly valid answer if that would be a pain.  We already have =
one report done and one pending with this information, but a third data set=
 can't hurt if we can get one.  :-)

This is BIS work. It has always been my IETF understanding BIS work is 
not work designed and only under special and rare circumstances, to 
change current or harm any existing implementations at any level.

This particular item is not one of items to be considered lightly for 
abandonment.

With all due respect and don't fall trap to disliking me, so don't - 
so what?

What you stated has no correlation whatsoever to a true reflection if 
its used or not.   In addition, and very importantly, hotmail.com is 
not a commercial service bureau. In other words, you don't sell 
hotmail.com for others to use on their own server or network.

What you didn't measure is when the HOTMAIL.COM receivers would expose 
the SUBMITTER keyword, and  now you will measure the possible million 
of clients connecting to hotmail.com and use the MAIL FROM SUBMITTER= 
keyword in order to support the PRA option in their messages.

What you seem to be suggesting in reality is that HOTMAIL.COM either 
A) does not support SENDER-ID at all, or B) does support SENDER-ID via 
SUBMITTER?

Sounds like A to me.

I don't you can voice a lack of support at hotmail.com if it never 
supported SENDER-ID or the SUBMITTER SMTP extension.

Thats like saying my SMTP server never needed to support the BITMIME 
SMTP extension and never got any request or market pressure to add 
ESMTP support and thus never got any feel for it in its transactions 
and believed it was also not supported by others - because you didn't.

But once you simply add the BITMIME Keyword to your server EHLO 
responses, just to measure it, you will quickly see how widely 
supported it is, negating all the erroneous impressions you had that 
its an unpopular protocol.  Its not.

I say that because that is what happen with us - I erroneously had the 
believe BITMIME was not a well supported SMTP extension until we 
finally explored it and added it and BEHOLD, you find how wrong you 
were believing it was low support extension.

Paul, I think you don't understand what the purpose was and why 
SUBMITTER was invented.

Using SUBMITTER is an server decision to order to optimize server and 
system performance and improved transaction throughput.  It is also a 
way to better trap redundant fraud by spoofers.

That was the whole purpose of it so if indeed hotmail.com supports 
SENDER-ID it would be for the benefit of the your server operations in 
terms of system performance, lower payload overhead to allow clients 
to issue the PRA at the SMTP level via the SUBMITTER protocol.

Otherwise, you are inherently requirement the payload at all times if 
SPF does not does the job for you.

No one is going to request that you support it. That doesn't make 
sense unless there were situations perhaps where hotmail.com was 
always rejection based on a Payload SENDER-ID PRA violation and the 
client was saying:

    "Hey, why you are wasting my bandwidth with transforming the 
payload when you
     are rejecting base on the PRA. I can give that PRA via SUBMITTER 
to save in
     the payload transfer."

Doesn't make sense, does it?  No, you would add it to save in payload 
overhead and improve system performance and if the there is good 
measure rejecting based on the PRA, then you benefit by supporting it.

This buddy-buddy system at the exclusion of others has got to stop.

Quick review of the cached DNS queries I have:

      3426   : cached TXT records (request)
      2783   : with v=spf1
        82   : with spf2.0 include INVALID ones (I believe, see below)
               10 spf2.0/mfrom
               72 spf2.0/pra

These were among the totals that I think are invalid syntax. Don't 
know off hand if v=spf2 is valid

  v=spf2
  v=spf2.0/pra
  v=spf2.0/pra
  v=spf2.0/pra
  v=spf2.0/pra
  v=spf2.0/pra mx
  v=spf2.0/pra mx
  v=spf2/mfrom,pra
  v=spf2.0/mfrom
  v=spf2.0/mfrom
  v=spf2.0/mfrom
  v=spf2.0/mfrom
  v=spf2/mfrom,pra

Even as I sure you will label me as a SMALL system, even as a small 
system there is over 80% usage of spf2.0/pra for SIDF.  To continue 
contemplating getting rid of it in SPF-BIS, would represent a serious 
problem.

Since v=spf1 records are considered valid for PRA evaluations by Sender ID you can't conclude anything based on your data. The fact that Sender ID is forced on SPF record publishers confuses things further.

To gauge actual interest in Sender ID, you have to have some mechanism for determining what fraction of the participation is based on consensual interest. I've no idea how to do that.

You can't separate SUBMITTER from PRA, so absent some groundswell of support for some future working group to deal with Sender ID, there's no point in worrying about SUBMITTER.

FWIW, I don't think anyone is ignoring anyone, but I do think you're venturing beyond the charter regularly, so it's no surprise such excursions don't generate a lot of positive feedback.

Your data haven't been excluded.  They're already in the report.

So that's over 97% SPF, with fewer than 3% using spf2.0, and even less than=
 that doing PRA.  That's consistent with the other data that have been coll=
ected so far.

Since SUBMITTER is only input to Sender-ID, as Scott pointed out, its meani=
ngful use is quite small.  But your data also point out that there's some b=
lind opportunistic use of it, which is also worth reporting.

That's not what your data say.  They say that among spf2.0 records, there's=
 substantial use of PRA.  But that's only within a very small fraction of y=
our overall DNS observations, which vastly favour SPF.

Seem to be wrong on several levels and its unfortunate, that you found 
it very convenient to state this ad nauseam attack.  Its unfortunate 
but perfectly understood why you would be part of this conflict of 
interest chorus. It only puts one on the defensive.. Damn if you, damn 
if you don't.

You are not very convincing just say "Forget about it."

1) You are assuming the chartered was correct to begin with, yet it 
has conflict of interest problems and voicing this concern is used 
against you.

2) You have an unproven belief for a lack of interest in 
SIDF/SUBMITTER and that there never existed any well conceived 
integrated association since MARID with SPF and SIDF/SUBMITTER, and

3) You have critical presumptuous this belief will not have any 
repercussions.

> Since v=spf1 records are considered valid for PRA evaluations by Sender ID you 
> can't conclude anything based on your data. 

Sure we can. I didn't include v=spf1 and your you over 80% of the 
SPF2.0 records are indeed PRA, a false claim you made that it isn't 
support.  But even better to lump v=spf1 and that means even clearer 
you have no right to be dictating abandonment.

So getting right it is your solution?

Huh? You can clearly measure it just look by seeing what multiple 
strings are included in TXT records.

    If it has only a SPF2.0 string then the INTENT and INTEREST is 
quite clear,

Sorry to disagree with this sort of subjective mandate to ignore what 
exist in practice simply because you have what appears to be a lack of 
feel for its adoption.

Thats simply not right. I stand ethical principles and whats going is 
here is a conflict on my principles.

You have absolute no right to be dictating what existing 
implementations should do, they can't just "Forget about it", 
including to support a belief no cost and support burden will not 
exist, all when you seem to be doing this purely on conjecture and no 
real feel for its support.

No amount of data isn't convince you or others wanting to get rid of 
it, and certainly proof of support shown by me is thrown by the waste 
side.

Have you read RFC 4405?

See paragraph 4.1 of that document.  It starts:

   The purpose of the SUBMITTER parameter is to allow the SMTP client to
   indicate to the server the purported responsible address of the
   message directly in the RFC 2821 protocol.

That's it's only purpose.  It is absolutely and completely unrelated to SPF.  
It is, in fact, a mechanism assist in not doing SPF.

End of discussion from my POV.

HA! Consensus by Osmosis! Wonderful! Its only the beginning too!

Sorry, absolutely not, your POV is ignorant of its origins.  Shows a 
lack of understand of the protocol and reasons for implementation. To 
conveniently avoid key points, including this:

6.  Security Considerations

    This extension provides an optimization to allow an SMTP client to
    identify the responsible submitter of an e-mail message in the SMTP
    protocol, and to enable SMTP servers to perform efficient validation
    of that identity before the message contents are transmitted.

Providing feedback of a major concern in MARID on the PAYLOAD burden 
SIDF promoted on SPF supported systems, but more importantly section 
4.2 describing the mechanism peppered with SENDER-ID methods information:

4.2.  Processing the SUBMITTER Parameter

    Receivers of e-mail messages sent with the SUBMITTER parameter SHOULD
    select the domain part of the SUBMITTER address value as the
    purported responsible domain of the message, and SHOULD perform such
    tests, including those defined in [SENDER-ID], as are deemed
    necessary to determine whether the connecting SMTP client is
    authorized to transmit e-mail messages on behalf of that domain.

    If these tests indicate that the connecting SMTP client is not
    authorized to transmit e-mail messages on behalf of the SUBMITTER
    domain, the receiving SMTP server SHOULD reject the message and when
    rejecting MUST use "550 5.7.1 Submitter not allowed."

    If the receiving SMTP server allows the connecting SMTP client to
    transmit message data, then the server SHOULD determine the purported
    responsible address of the message by examining the RFC 2822 message
    headers as described in [PRA].  If this purported responsible address
    does not match the address appearing in the SUBMITTER parameter, the
    receiving SMTP server MUST reject the message and when rejecting MUST
    use "550 5.7.1 Submitter does not match header."

    If no purported responsible address is found according to the
    procedure defined in [PRA], the SMTP server SHOULD reject the message
    and when rejecting MUST use "554 5.7.7 Cannot verify submitter
    address."

All and all, you still use SENDER-ID logic but now at the SMTP level. 
This SENDER-ID method is fundamentally the same method as SPF, same 
namespace, but a different tag, just a set of different rule.

How anyone can say the two technologies are not related when SPF2.0 is 
basically the same SPF1 under certain conditions, is very odd to me. 
   With SUBMITTER, it simply does the same but without needing the 
payload.

To suggest is "completely unrelated" is patently technical false and 
your desire to avoid the issue by ignoring it, is just not right if 
you intent is to kill SIDF/SUBMITTER.

All I am reading from you is a lack of feel for the protocols that you 
probably never supported before. So no feel for it.

Since discussion on this seems to have died down and we've a dearth of other 
on topic topics to talk about, I'll attempt a summary (I know there is still 
data collection going on, but I think it's reasonable to assume that they will 
confirm the current sense that deployment is miminal).

It seems to me that the group is in favor of deprecating type SPF.  We can 
call it historic, but since the RRtype will still be assigned, it could be 
used if there were ever a non-backward compatible update to SPF.

Any objections to that as a sense of the group?

Dear colleagues,

This message is about WG operation.  It is a reminder about how we
will comport ourselves on this list.  I'm hanging this on Hector's
message, but it's a general reminder.

As an official matter, we don't know what MARID concluded because none
of the RFCs were in fact output of the WG.  Claims about MARID and
what that WG was interested in are completely off-topic here: that was
another WG at another time, and this WG does not have the same
charter.  Please do not attempt to use claims about what MARID wanted,
said, thought, or whatever in these discussions.

One can have a legitimate discussion about whether SUBMITTER is
relevant to ending the SPF experiment.  But one has to stay on-topic
to do it, please.  For this WG to be productive, we must all
discipline ourselves to ensure that our emotions do not get the better
of us, and your chairs will step in at the first sign that the
conversation is crossing that line.  Remember, too, that email does
not come with all of the additional clues that in-person communication
does; please write accordingly.  If you are inclined to send a
message, consider it twice before sending: sometimes an argument can
be made at once more neutral and technically stronger.  Finally, we
very strongly oppose direct personalization of the discussion; please
don't do it.

Thanks and best regards,

A (as moderator)

Then why bother marking as deprecated and cause more work in the future?

I object to the idea SPF can not use a special RR nor the idea it 
can't be further explored with high reliability that will exist today. 
  -1 on dropping it.

I think the summary is accurate.

I don't know whether the registry can be changed to deprecate the type, but I 
suspect it can.

Even if it can't, we can mark it SHOULD NOT use in 4408bis.

The reason to mark it deprecated is there's no value in using it and retaining 
it adds complexity.  

There's no "high reliability that will exist today".  Many implementations 
either default to not checking RRtype SPF by default or don't support it at 
all.

I took a quick look at pyspf and dropping type SPF only saves about 3 dozen 
lines of code.  Most of the complexity that's avoided by removing it is the 
operational complexity of having to maintain identical data in two different 
DNS records.

All our systems that work with SPF records exclusively use TXT queries, the=
re are no logged sender support requests, that I'm aware of, asking for typ=

Thanks, Paul.

If I could ask a bit more of you and your data: While you're gearing up ano=
ther SPF/Sender-ID efficacy comparison, is there a way to determine whether=
 or not your Sender-ID implementation checks type 99 (SPF) DNS records, typ=
e 16 (TXT) records, or both?  And, if both, can you gauge what the percenta=
ges are for each?

"No" is a perfectly valid answer if that would be a pain.  We already have =
one report done and one pending with this information, but a third data set=
 can't hurt if we can get one.  :-)

   We should trust our WGCs to make consensus calls: it's not helpful
for others to usurp that role.

   (BTW, I disagree with calling type 99 "deprecated" or "historic",
though I'm perfectly happy for it to be "MAY" status on both publishing
and checking.)

Hello,

In case there is any confusion, I would like it to be clear that the 
SPFBIS WG Chairs have not made any determination of consensus about 
Issue #9.  It is premature to draw any conclusion at the moment.  We 
are here to listen to the views expressed by all WG 
participants.  The working group will be given ample time to think 
about the issues and provide comments.

When there is a consensus call on this issue, or any other issue, the 
message about it will be sent by the SPFBIS WG Chairs.  If you have 
any objections about a determination of consensus, you are welcome to 
raise them.

Issue #9 remains open.  If you have not commented on it, please do 
so.  If you have already provided comments on Issue #9, there is no 
need to restate them again as Andrew and I will read all the messages 
that have been posted about this issue.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
SPFBIS WG Chair

Yes, that's right of course.  Apologies for contributing.

There's an apparent undercurrent of being in a hurry to progress or complet=
e this work.  I'm not sure why.

Looking at my DNS server logs, I am surprised to see nearly as many
requests for type 99 records as for SPF TXT records.  I'm collecting
data, we can talk about it once we're done putting the issues list
together.

I am NOT arguing that there's any particular value in publishing type
99 records, but the common perception that nobody checks them seems to
be wrong.

R's,
John

Mail::SPF (which is used by Spamassassin) checks for Type SPF first by default.  
I would imagine that accounts for a large fraction of what you're seeing.

Myself I've never argued (or never intended to) that no one checked it.  I 
know they are.  I also know that they are not consistently checked, so they 
can't be relied on.

The "almost no" arguement I've made is about publishing.

I think the fact that there are so many pointless queries for Type SPF argues 
for getting rid of it.  It's a waste.

My data so far agree with this.  There's lots of software that checks, but =
fewer than 5% of the SPF or Sender-ID records out there actually publish th=
em.

If for example the world was full of DKIM verifiers but nobody ever signed,=
 I think it would be reasonable to conclude that DKIM is also, effectively,=
 unused.  To use another DKIM example, when we revised DKIM to Draft Standa=
rd, we dropped the "g=3D" tag because our data showed almost nobody was usi=
ng it, even though most or all DKIM verification software knew how to apply=
 it.

If it's not to much trouble, it will probably help to have empirical data like 
this correlate sources and timing.

That is, is a query for a type 99 coupled to (and preceding) a query to the 
corresponding SPF TXT?

Give me a few days, I'll see what I can find.

Many of my domains actually do publish type 99 records, so I'll have
to separate the ones that do and the ones that don't.

That would be as strong an argument in favour of _promoting_ the SPF
record and saying that implementations SHOULD check for the SPF record
unless they already know there is no SPF record present.

After all, lots of people didn't used to use MX records either.

RFC 4408 already says that type SPF should be checked and that it should be 
published.  Despite doubts about if a transition to type SPF could ever be 
made (IMO both those SHOULD statements were statements of bold optimism) the 
SPF community has solidly supported type SPF.

Within a week of Type 99 being allocated to Type SPF there were open source 
implementations of SPF checking libraries that would check it.  In fact, 
community testing between the IANA assignment and the author's 48 hour review 
prior to RFC 4408 publication identified some interoperability issues with 
multiple DNS RR types carrying the same information that were corrected prior 
to RFC 4408's publication.

Even with this support, Type SPF has little traction operationally and there 
is no basis to expect this to change.  Given that, the best thing we can do is 
encourage receivers not to do these pointless queries.

There is an operational benefit to using MX records.  As we've discussed, there 
isn't one for Type SPF.

That was actually not the conclusion I reached from that discussion.
What I recall concluding was that, in the absence of people actually
doing the lookup, it was going to be pretty hard to argue that there
was any benefit to it.

If the actual deployed software does the SPF lookup first, then there
certainly is an operational benefit from deploying SPF records: you
cut your negative queries out dramatically.  DNS admins like to cut
needless queries.  Moreover, if the bulk of the deployed code sends
SPF first, then just adding an SPF record would be a pain-free way to
cut down all those extra queries.  You'd reduce the pointless SPF
validation queries that your consumers send, too.  And you'd have a
guarantee that other semantics couldn't trample on your RR's
semantics.

Seems like operational benefit to me.  What do you see differently?

Best,

A

I was looking at it from the other end.  There's no operational benefit to 
doing the query and so the fact that a lot of software does it wastes 
resources on both ends since so few records are published.

Even if one has the necessary infrastructure support for publishing type SPF 
records (I'm not aware of any commercial DNS providers that support or nor do 
I think standard control panel packages support it) there is the added 
complexity of managing two sets of records that have to be kept identical.

I think, from a record publisher POV that more than offsets not having the 
additional TXT lookup.

In any case, I think the market has spoken.  Despite broad support for the new 
RR type, it just hasn't caught on and I don't think it's going to.

A history of non-use rarely provides a strong argument for coercive legislation. 
  (The OSI folks misunderstood this.)

Adoption is driven by need.  The MX record and port 587 are good examples of 
this.  Their adoption increased when the community started seeing benefits.

The record has yet to show a benefit in adoption of the special SPF RR and, 
hence, failed to gain that adoption.

The questions should be: what will make that change, and it that change viable?

We agree about this.

> 

I was suggesting that the question should be, "Why make this change if
already-available operational benefit depends on not making the
change?"

According to what people have said lately in this thread, all of the
following things appear to be true (some are waiting on data for confirmation):

    1.  The bulk of the clients send SPF queries first.

    2.  SPF records and the SPF-use TXT records, when they are
    maintained correctly (and in the latter case maintained to the
    exclusion of other things), have the same use value.

    3.  Not putting an SPF record in your zone causes you to
    experience extra query traffic.

    4.  Not putting an SPF record in your zone causes your clients to
    have to send extra traffic.  

Those who are arguing, "SPF records should be deprecated," are
effectively arguing that all the client software ought to be upgraded
in order to make the extra traffic go away.  I was merely noting that
people could get an immediate operational benefit to themselves simply
by adding the SPF record to their zone; this requires no change in
software in at least a large number of cases, and causes a reduction
in needless DNS traffic.  Seems to me like an operational benefit
available this afternoon to anyone who cared to do it.  Those who want
to deprecate the RRTYPE are arguing that greater operational benefit
would come if we made a specification change and everybody on the
Internet using SPF upgraded their software.  From my perspective, this
sounds like the burden of proof is being put on the wrong party.

Best,

A

Scott, we adding the type to our DNS resolver and script base SPF 
software.

The only reason it was disabled by default was 100% because their was 
still a large network of DNS servers that simply did not support it. 
  Do you dispute this was not the issue when it was first proposed for 
any protocol pushing a new RR type?

See RFC3597 "Handling of Unknown DNS Resource Record (RR) Types"

   Abstract

    Extending the Domain Name System (DNS) with new Resource Record (RR)
    types currently requires *changes to name server software.*  This
    document specifies the changes necessary to allow future DNS
    implementations to handle new RR types transparently.

It well known it would not work well back then at least in the short 
term until DNS server were updated, especially the Microsoft DNS 4.0 
to 5.0 level.  The SPF type was added to the spec with what I believe 
was a full knowledge it had a low reliable to start and an expectation 
to be used in the future as these DNS servers were updated.

So it is by now surprise the early testing after it was tested would 
have a high failure rate.

Am I off base?

Besides the point evidence is arriving showing the type is already 
used, I suspect people just didn't bother for no other reason perhaps 
their infrastructure was already setup around TXT records.

But with SPF-BIS and knowing today, DNS servers do handle this, I 
believe it is worth a short.

Why isn't RFC3597 relevant here?

       Handling of Unknown DNS Resource Record (RR) Types

   Abstract

    Extending the Domain Name System (DNS) with new Resource Record (RR)
    types currently requires changes to name server software.  This
    document specifies the changes necessary to allow future DNS
    implementations to handle new RR types transparently.

It was well known when the decision to the type, it would be to 
prepare it for the future as the DNS servers get updated.  If 
anything, the industry got established and comfortable with TXT but 
IMO, the original ideals should not be lost.

Only with a SPF-BIS recommendation, would I go back to the software 
and being enabling it with a high expectation that it will be reliable 
today to a high degree.

If it's all so obvious that it makes sense to publish SPF records, why aren't 
more people doing it?

My main argument for removing the type is that it simplifies things and does no 
harm.

What's the benefit of not doing away with it?  Nothing as far as I can tell.

I guarantee you that as soon as there's an RFC that deprecates use of type SPF 
I'll be simplifying some code.

Hello,

I have been following the discussion about SPF RR Type.  It seems 
that the issue is being read as a binary question, i.e. should the 
SPR RR record be kept or not.  Some of the questions that come to my mind are:

  (a) How many domains are publishing SPF RR records?

  (b) How many domains are publishing  SPT TXT records?

  (c) How many domains are querying for SPR RR records?

  (d) How many domains are querying for SPR TXT records?

  (e) What are the implementations out there?

  (f) What DNS records do the implementations query for?

The above is not an exhaustive list of questions.  If I missed any 
questions, let me know.  Without empirical data, it is not possible 
to answer these questions.  Is there anyone who would like to 
volunteer to find the answers to these questions?

Regards
S. Moonesamy

It was certainly an issue in 2005.  I've seen no evidence to indicate it's not 
an issue now.

I've not seen any evidence to support the notion that it's reliable now.  It 
may be.  In the code I support where it's not enabled by default, I've gotten 
zero complaints.  The reverse is not true.

So you think that if 4408bis retains the recommendation to use type SPF, 
adoption would suddenly take off?

I don't.

I think questions a and b have to be linked to some degree.  I'd ask them this 
way:

1.  How many domains publish only Type TXT SPF records
2.  How man domains publish only Type SPF SPF records
3.  How many domains publish both Type SPF and Type TXT SPF records
4.  Of the domains in question 3, how many have identical records.

WIthout knowing the degree of overlap/non-overlap you won't be able to draw 
conclusions about the effect of deprecating support for Type SPF.  Also, I'd be 
interested in the list of domains publishing only Type SPF since I doubt they 
understand what they are doing.

I think that's oversimplifying things some.

There remain difficulties in some systems with managing unknown
RRTYPEs.  This includes some widely-deployed ones, including at least
some Microsoft libraries.  But any DNS _server_, including any caches,
that has any business responding to queries on the Internet today can
certainly cope with unknown RRTYPEs.  If they couldn't, we'd almost
certainly have heard loud noises when the root of the DNS was signed
last year, and we didn't.

Unlike many people in the DNS community -- a community that is
sometimes tarred with a broad brush -- I believe quite strongly that
there remain serious practical difficulties in some cases with new
RRTYPEs, and I have no interest in pretending otherwise.  But I don't
think it does anyone any service to pretend that it's impossible to
add new RRTYPEs.  The question is one of costs and benefits.

You are arguing that the benefit here isn't worth the additional
cost.  I'm pointing out that, where the DNS is concerned, it takes
years to upgrade software -- indeed, this is exactly the problem that
you're using as a premise.  Therefore, if you say, "Didn't work, rip
it out," you're effectively saying that you'll need to support it for
some period of time -- more than 10 years, is my guess -- anyway.  If
we have at least a 10 year horizon, it's anyone's guess which
direction would be preferable. 

Best,

A

I am not drawing any conclusions about the effects of deprecating 
support for Type SPF.  What I am looking for is people who can come 
to the working group with data that answers the questions.  The more 
data the working group can get (e.g. to answer the questions you 
mentioned), the better.

Would you like to volunteer?

I don't think I am.  All I said is I don't know, because I don't.

There is an added operational complexity associated with publishing the same 
information multiple places, so there is a transitional cost to support both.

I don't think that SPF record publishers are going to accept that cost without 
a worthwhile benefit.  I believe the evidence we've seen shows that even with 
widespread SPF checking, people aren't publishing.  What's going to change?

Maybe they set them up long ago when software wasn't available to create 
SPF records and they could easily create TXT records. Maybe they don't 
realize that failure to set them up causes extra traffic because the 
cost is non-obvious or externalized (i.e., the folks who deploy SPF are 
not the ones that see the cost). It would be good to start asking these 
questions to find out why.

The harm is that everyone has to upgrade they're querying software to 
stop querying for the SPF record.

No software upgrades, and *if* people (due to the publication of the 
standards track document) realize that they should be deploying the SPF 
record, they will and that will cut down DNS traffic.

New code (even if it is simplifying code) is always risky code. Not a 
huge risk, but a risk nonetheless. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that you are 
one of the more motivated SPF developers. :-)

Now that I know about this issue, I'm going to go check my own server 
and add a 99 record, since I don't think I have one. But I think that's 
because I did it so long ago and never looked to see how to enter a new 
record type into my little server. But I'm pretty sure I'm not an 
average SPF deployer myself.

More questions to be asked.

You also asked about the appropriateness of the questions.  If you don't ask 
questions in a way that will allow you to answer the question that's being 
asked, there's no point in collecting the data.

A couple of people have already volunteered to do surveys of published DNS 
records.  I could do it, but I don't know that we need more.  If we do, I can 
help out.

I don't have access to a good way of helping out with the questions about how 
many domains are doing queries.

I can tell you that the major FOSS SPF libraries that I'm familiar with 
(libspf2 (C), Mail::SPF (Perl), and pyspf (Python)) all support Type SPF 99 
(although it's disabled by default in pyspf and Mail::SPF provides a way for 
applications to avoid calling it - I'm not a C programmer, so I'm not sure 
exactly what libspf2 does).

The data that have been posted to this mailing list does not answer 
all the questions I had in mind.

Thanks for the input.  That is not enough for "implementations out 
there".  We need to cover as much as possible and that includes 
non-"FOSS" implementations.

They do not have to.  The /may/ do it, if they want the benefit.

Right.  No software upgrade and no reduction in wasted queries.

An expectation that people will "realize" they "should" do the SPF RR 
establishes a technical requirement based on hypothetical human behavior, rather 
than established community need.  On the average, the track record for such 
adoption predicates is quite poor.

That invokes a rather unusual argument, for -bis efforts, namely to retain 
everything that is not known to be highly problematic.

Whereas typical -bis efforts are encouraged to drop unused features, to simplify 
the spec and simply implementations and -- often -- simplify operations.

The SRV type also had its similar issues with DNS server support.  The 
server might have supported the record, but there potentially were 
recursion issues along the path.

Testament of increasing protocols usage with successful SRV discovery 
supports will suggest that the 3597 issues are must less than in 2005 
and prior.  But protocols still required to have a fallback for those 
paths that have a legacy DNS server.

Related to SPF, what was interesting to me with my Jabber Server 
installation (OpenFire) was noticing how they also went about the same 
question with DNS record installations for discovery and noticing that 
they hung on to the idea that using a SRV record would be preferable 
and even though it may be duplicate record setup, eventually the SRV 
record will be begin to work more reliability.  It really help with 
networking a few in faster and less query discoveries. Felt more 
"snappier."  I think we should hang on to ours :)

Point is, unlike circa 2005, today, I would not be hesitant to use new 
RR types for SPF and any new protocol work we do. But I think for SPF, 
we still need the fallback until more type 99 records are published 
and I think people will start to published them if we sell it to them 
that its better, more reliable today and it does seem faster - might 
be an illusion. :)  But technical people also know it will help with 
DNS network wide overhead as well and I think that is a big plus for 
helping its standardization.

Dear Scott,

Don't know what calling SPF RR Historic would mean.  It would have made 
sense to deprecate (ab)use of TXT RR, but that opportunity was lost with 
termination of Marid. :^(

Deprecating SPF RR is logical, although not having this alternative 
means TXT RR collisions with other uses can not be avoided.  TXT RR at 
the base domain is a logical location for many uses that must be shared 
with various versions of SPF and Sender-ID.

Douglas Otis

Let me open by saying: I am absolutely fine with either outcome on this 
particular issue. My only reason for posting was because I thought 
Andrew and Scott were talking past each other, and this is an important 
issue to decide one way or the other. Do take whatever I say here as 
trying to elucidate; I am absolutely ambivalent about the outcome.

So, still trying to be hatless:

Well, the query for 99 would then be "out of spec", but yes, you are 
correct.

:) I take your point that my "if" might be equivalent to "if the moon is 
made of green cheese."

Yup. The reason to keep it would be entirely *if* you think there's a 
chance that people might start using it. If not, the change to client 
software to eliminate the second query would be reasonable.

Actually, I think both are true: In moves along the standards track, we 
get rid of unused things, but we also don't dork with things that are 
used if they're not causing problems. My only point was this is an 
unusual situation in that the client side of this piece protocol *is* 
demonstrably used, in that clients *are* sending the queries, and the 
server side is excruciatingly minimally used, meaning that the clients 
are not getting any use out of doing so. Add to that the unusualness of 
the fact that this is *not* progress along the standards track (which is 
what we normally think of as the -bis effort), but getting something 
onto the standards track.

If we decide that the feature is essentially unused except for some 
outliers who won't be bothered if we remove the feature, peachy, we 
should remove it.
If we decide that there is some use, but it's complicating the protocol 
and possibly causing problems, also peachy.
If we decide that it is getting at least some use *and* there is a 
reasonable possibility that increased use will occur and that will 
improve things, the we should go the other way.

I think those are the sorts of things folks should be looking at.

Back to watching from the corner. :-)

I think this is an important, but not absolutely critical, issue for the WG.  
I've made my preference clear (I'm sure), but I'm not going to get 
extraordinarily worked up over it.  This is a nice opportunity to simplify the 
protocol with no interoperability harm, but it doesn't touch on the critical 
issues such as backward compatiblity.

One additional data point that might be of interest ...

I suspect a large fraction of the Type SPF queries people are seeing are due 
to Spamassassin using Mail::SPF and Mail::SPF has Type SPF queries enabled by 
default.  The reason they are enabled by default is that the Mail::SPF author 
aimed it to be suitable to be a reference implementation for RFC 4408, so he 
followed it's guidance as closely as he could.  I believe it's his intent to 
do the same for 4408bis.

It's a configuration option to disable and a one liner to change the default, 
so I suspect the estimates of ten years to change this are a bit long.

What collision problem is not solved by discarding those TXT records in the=

We can get answers to (a) and (b) just by querying some large list of domai=
ns.  Philip from Cisco did one batch and I'm running another which can at l=
east answer those two, and I'm running my own similar report.

To do (c) and (d) we need to look at nameserver logs.  John Levine is condu=
cting that experiment.

I don't know how we could come up with an exhaustive list of (e) for Sender=
-ID, but it seems that OpenSPF has a fairly comprehensive list for SPF.

For (f), again we're split between the two proposals, and now we need docum=
entation and/or source code for each.

I suggest that the answers to (e) and (f) might reasonably be approximated =
by the answers to (c) and (d).

1. They'd perceive no change.  No added overhead.  No change in error message. 
Nothing.

2. In formal terms, yes, the behavior would no longer be conformant, but I guess 
my reaction is, so what?  What's unusual and quite nice about the current 
opportunity is that dropping this has no (new) downside for those who happen to 
publish the record or do the query.

If there were any indication of an adoption vector or a change in incentives (or 
value proposition or anything else that would drive an adopter pull) I'd say 
keep it.  But we've had plenty of time for the trajectory to be established and 
nothing that I know of is happening that changes where things currently are.

So, in this case, there's some ambiguity to the use of what it means to be 
"used".  We have almost no one publishing the record; this means "unused".  We 
have a significant number of failed queries being made for the record; querying 
is a form of "being used".  Mumble.  Querying and having no problems falling 
back to the alternative record means "/trying/ to be used, but fine with 
failing".  Foo.

Well, not surprisingly, we agree this is an odd one, for analysis.

If one takes an end-to-end view of things -- and I realize that's an unusual 
perspective these days -- it has no real-world, system-level end-to-end utility.

There is not evidence that it will magically become useful.  So even though this 
is a perspective from which it can legitimately be claimed it it is used, there 
is not current perspective from which it can be claimed to be useful.

In the face of that, I find the benefit of simplification to be a strong 
argument in favor of dropping it.

It's a best effort.  It is not be possible to come up with a list of 
every implementation out there.

The WG decisions will be reviewed by the IETF Community during the 
IETF Last Call.  I would like to see some effort on (e) and (f) so 
that the SPFBIS WG can say that it carefully considered the issue.

Would you like to volunteer?

The "so many text records that the response doesn't fit in a UDP packet" problem,
I guess, although I must admit I haven't run into that one in practice.

There are other reasons to want a specific record type such as playing nicely
with wildcards, but that is, shall we say, water under the dam in this particular
case where the practice is well established.

I'd question the wording "definititive policy result" (and not just
because of the spelling. :)

The word 'policy' in this case might be taken to mean "SPF policy",
yet a rejection at the HELO stage can be made for a number of reasons,
some of which require very little processing and no DNS lookups.

Most of the garbage HELOs we see result in immediate rejection before
an SPF check has been made, so in a sense it is a 'policy' decision e.g.
because we don't accept mail from home routers, but it isn't SPF policy.

I'm not sure I agree with this.  The definition of SERVFAIL (which is RCODE=
 2) from RFC1035 is:

                2               Server failure - The name server was
                                unable to process this query due to a
                                problem with the name server.

That's plenty general.  Absent a list of specific reasons why a nameserver =
might return that error, I'm left not knowing whether the error is transien=
t (resources, perhaps) or one that does indeed require operator interventio=
n.

So perhaps Andrew is in a good position to answer this, hatless of course: =
Has there ever been more specific guidance about the use of SERVFAIL, or pe=
rhaps the introduction of other RCODEs, to make this less ambiguous?

Hi Pete,

Don't wish to fall trap to generalization, a 'No Surprise Principle' 
<tm>, perhaps a conservative approach is probably a good (specific) 
BIS policy model for SPF/SIDF/SUBMITTER.

Optional reading below.

There is much conflict of interest (and not all in negative sense) but 
in end goals; IETF desires, the Technology Leader (SPF Council) 
desires, existing implementations desires which include:

    - Pure SPF advocates,
    - Pure SIDF advocates (the corporate image),
    - And system integrators of both.

A historical fact is that SPF was fast becoming a widely adopted 
NON-IETF protocol in all market segments. I generally never use 
non-standard technology, and it was only when AOL announced SPF 
support, did I finally stop other work and began to support it as 
well.  Soon Microsoft came with  its XML version of SPF (CEP) and 
throw in the SPF wench with the suggestion and use cases for the 
existence of a 3rd payload based Identity - Purported Responsible 
Author (PRA) or Submitter.

Yet too many, including myself, believed it was just not going to past 
IETF reviews. Of course, with all its DNS dependency, higher overhead 
and usage of TXT - yet still an less preferred idea to many to use for 
policies, the limits concerns, etc.

I only point this out because the only way to fast track the 
consolidation effort into IETF controlled RFCs was to give it a 
Experimental Status.  That is want people wanted - IETF based open 
source once MS came.

But I would be among those that would suggest, this (at least SPF) was 
already well beyond an "Experiment", already added and part of 
production vender code and operations, and today, IMV, IETF needs to 
consider that its not something that will offer a lot of room to 
drastically change it which can be very easy to do from a pure IETF 
"Experimental Status" perspective.  I am just saying, IMV, this is 
just one of those well entrenched fast tracked protocols less open to 
typical and valid "Experiment Status" stripped down efforts.

+1,  SERVFAIL is not always a "permanent" failure concept and it could 
just mean the DNS resolver was just not available for whatever 
reasons, including for smaller system being throttled by their ISP. 
It could be self-correcting as well.

But one thing I have learned (across the board for all DNS related 
application level protocols) is that results and application protocol 
translations of results was a fine tuning concept for the default 
configuration and for the most part, items initially prepared as too 
restrictive changed to a more relaxed translation.

I view this as prudent design for SPF systems deployed for SMTP level 
policy based failure detection for instant rejection.  For these modes 
of operations, it needs to be watchful of using restrictive results 
that are not really zero false positive.

I believe SPF-BIS (if not already written somewhere), it should add 
text that recommends flexibility for SPF. For example:

     SPF implementators MUST|SHOULD|MAY make the translation and 
interpretation of
     results configurable  and flexible for operators.

     SPF implementation SHOULD|MAY be watchful repeated error 
conditions from
     a domain and MAY use repeatably failure to translate temporary errors
     to permanent errors.

IMV, this issue falls in the category of Implementators design 
offerings, but I think it would not be improper to have the above like 
text added to section because I believe you will get different valid 
views on how check_host() is designed Murray.

For example, check_host() does require a internal "results" in order 
to generate the returned result. For me, because I do have a very 
strong deterministic framework philosophy looking for the definitive 
domain declared policy violation, anything less than 100% definitive 
internal results due to NXDOMAIN, SERVFAIL or other unexpected 
exception, our check_host() will basically return a "Unknown" or 
"Nothing here" translation. Hence a "I don't know" go ahead 250 for 
the most part, but perhaps even 45x - it depends.

This note, how to translated repeated errors that is was always 
something on my mind, hence why I already asked for the protocols that 
had a testing bit in its policy to either remove it in the spec spec 
or add monitoring logic semantics. I don't recall if SPF had one, seem 
to remember it did but I may be confusing that with the same request I 
did for DKIM, and why it says:

       y  .... Verifiers MAY wish
          to track testing mode results to assist the Signer.

but I wasn't thinking about assisting the sender, but assisting the #1 
victim, the receiver, in this case the SPF receiver, who would be 
getting these redundant errors, including temporary ones.

IMHO, cycles available for SPF maintenance would be better spent
adding SPF records for helo names, than keeping SPF and TXT types in sync.

If, after a seven-year experiment, we think we are going to need two
different RR types for another ten years or so, perhaps we should
offer some CTYPE directive that allows a DNS server to send /that/ TXT
record in response to SPF queries, or vice-versa.

I did a quick check over my logs. Over the last 24 hours or so, 372 name =

The /24 with the most DNS servers in it ( 216.69.186.* -- 26 dns=20

I think it's interesting that even if you send a Type SPF answer some 
implementation(s) is/are requesting the Type TXT record anyway (that's how I 
read you note). 

I wonder if they are asynchronously requesting both and then applying whatever 
answer they get?

For the ones that request both, can you tell if the sequence is consistent 
(e.g. SPF then TXT)?

While it's important to have empirical of data of this, I think there is not 
debate about this specific fact.

I believe the question is about the penetration of published SPF records, and 
their relevance to the overall system.

Thanks Philip.

Hopefully the chairs and SK can put this issue to bed.  If we drop 
support, this will cause a a surprise and new waste on SPF clients 
supporting the SPF RR.  Dropping would of gone against what was the 
original intention with initial expected but short term faults, but as 
long as we had a TXT fall back, it will still functionally work.  This 
should help SPF within DNS.  This was always an implementation 
decision anyway.  I have great interest now to start a project to 
enabled it and begin a gamma field testing cycle.

Eyeballing my log extracts, I see a lot of queries for both records at
the same time.  Places like Yahoo frequently ask for both via
different DNS caches, so it's hard to tell mechanically that they're
the same query.  But just off the top of my head, I'd say it's between
1/4 and 1/3 of the queries.

It might be worth running the experiment and returning subtly different 
records and seeing which they execute. Putting exists:inspfrecord.%{d} 
in one and exists:intxtrecord.%{d} in the other would allow one to 
determine what they were doing.

There are certainly some implementations which do asynchronous requests 
and request both at the same time, and the order that the requests 
arrive is not consistent.

For example:

216.69.186.13: TXT -> SPF: 0.000032 secs
216.69.186.14: SPF -> TXT: 0.000010 secs
216.69.186.15: SPF -> TXT: 0.000007 secs
216.69.186.16: SPF -> TXT: 0.000007 secs
216.69.186.16: SPF -> TXT: 0.000031 secs
216.69.186.17: SPF -> TXT: 0.000018 secs
216.69.186.18: TXT -> SPF: 0.038848 secs
216.69.186.19: SPF -> TXT: 0.000007 secs

This shows a particular set of name servers. The first line means that 
216.69.186.13 requested a TXT record and then an SPF record and that 
these requests arrived 32usecs apart (much less than the RTT).

WIth this nameserver set it is less clear what is going on:

74.6.109.17: SPF -> TXT: 2.239237 secs
74.6.109.17: TXT -> SPF: 3.206624 secs
74.6.109.18: SPF -> TXT: 0.106386 secs
74.6.109.18: TXT -> SPF: 2.930859 secs
74.6.109.20: SPF -> TXT: 0.014469 secs
74.6.109.20: SPF -> TXT: 0.038548 secs
74.6.109.20: SPF -> TXT: 0.043084 secs
74.6.109.20: SPF -> TXT: 3.557841 secs
74.6.109.20: TXT -> SPF: 0.021898 secs
74.6.109.20: TXT -> SPF: 0.042948 secs
74.6.109.20: TXT -> SPF: 0.125548 secs
74.6.109.25: SPF -> TXT: 0.000187 secs
74.6.109.25: SPF -> TXT: 0.104728 secs
74.6.109.25: SPF -> TXT: 0.114294 secs
74.6.109.25: SPF -> TXT: 0.318294 secs
74.6.109.25: TXT -> SPF: 0.000081 secs
74.6.109.26: SPF -> TXT: 0.109614 secs
74.6.109.27: SPF -> TXT: 0.107179 secs
74.6.109.27: TXT -> SPF: 2.477460 secs

The RTT to this nameserver is around 100ms. I *suspect* that the large 
time intervals are actually from separate messages (I have a cutoff of 5 
seconds for this log).

Philip

p.s. I'm actually quite impressed how quickly this can serve a request. 
This particular server is written in perl and uses mysql as the backend. 
I guess that the caching works!

as sets (a) and (b) may overlap, and as RFC4408 uses a SHOULD for 
publishing both types, the interesting question here is: how many 
domains are publishing SPF but no TXT.

In question:

    4.4.  Record Lookup

    In accordance with how the records are published (see Section 3.1
    above), a DNS query needs to be made for the <domain> name, querying
    for either RR type TXT, SPF, or both.  If both SPF and TXT RRs are
    looked up, the queries MAY be done in parallel.

I have seen this before and was very curious about how literal is that 
in term of the technical methods used to perform "parallel" queries. 
But with the group postings today related to type SPF and TXT queries 
and terms like "asynchronous" or "Same time"  made me think this might 
an item to be clarified.

The statement "the queries MAY be done in parallel" should be expanded to

   - Explain what "Parallel""  means,
   - The reasons whe on MAY wish to do this, and
   - What are the possible issues and considerations with it.

The term "Parallel" has a specific meaning (in terms of computers and 
software) which correlates to time independent concurrency of 
different thread, process, task, etc.  To the SPF implementator, this 
may mean using two different threads, fibers, task each doing a DNS 
query - SPF and TXT, or in DNS parley, it can a batch of multiple 
query packets.   This should be perhaps be explained.

The reasons is to lower overhead, I suppose, which may implies the 
"Multiple Query Packets" method, to help avoid the need to do two 
separate queries.

The possible issues as I basically understand it:

    - Multiple Query Packets (MQP) is not a universally support 
feature and in some reported -
      broken and unreliable, and

Now, the main issue starts with the idea that the end result of a 
parallel or MQP query MUST be the same for the result of two 
sequential queries.

In theory, the sequential order would be SPF type first, then TXT type 
as a fall back. The current text offer a functional spec requirement. 
What is needed is a technical specification description.  That should 
be done as if there as no parallelism or MQP capability, only 
sequential.  The parallel or MQP is essentially an DNS overhead 
optimization of the sequential method.

No question, the ideal query of two related types would be to batch it 
as one call.  But the reality is it is not an universal DNS server 
supported feature and since it must be described using the lowest 
common denominator method, this section should expand how the SPF and 
TXT queries should are done sequentially with translations of results.

Good question and I'll be surprise if anyone doing this since it may 
show a lack of understanding there was an high unreliability factor 
just using a new named type.

You know, I suspect withing the reported DNS analysis, it includes a 
factor of what DNS query path was taken or perhaps dominate with a PCN 
(Personal Community Network) or BCN (Business Community Network).

I am a firm believer that every one of us has a unique PCB or BCN, 
with many perhaps a common subset, but nonetheless each is unique.

Phillip's data and mine attempt to answer that question.  (His data are ava=

The issue which you posted is being tracked as Issue #25.  Were these 
group postings about Issue #1?

I disagree.  An implementation MAY query TXT only, or SPF only.  So a
parallel implementation could query both in parallel, then use whichever
comes back first.  The implementation can be thought of as a quantum
superposition of TXT only and SPF only, which resolves to a specific
choice when the first response packet arrives.

This is important, because a common problem is DNS servers that ignore
SPF queries (no reply at all) rather than returning "no such record". 
Checking for SPF first sequentially is impractical because of this DNS
server bug.  But querying in parallel and using the first response works
in all cases.

The SPF RR will likely never be widely adopted for SPFv1.  However, the
SPF RR should remain reserved for the next generation protocol (v=spf3
or whatever).  In the meantime, we should encourage publishing both RR
types for v=spf1, if for no other reason than so we can keep complaining
to operators of braindead DNS servers (that timeout with no response on
SPF queries) so they will eventually get fixed in time for v=spf3 - so
the next generation is not force to roll back to TXT records again.

In order to try and get a handle on this question, I asked an associate who is 
very familiar with BIND internals about when it would return SERVFAIL.  It 
turns out it is a mix of temporary (self-resolving) and permanent (needs 
operator resolution) conditions, so SERVFAIL doesn't neatly map into either 
SPF result.

Examples of temporary SERVFAIL are:

Unable to connect with the authoritative resolver due to a network outage.

A difference in TTL between glue A records and NS records in a delegation.  If 
the A records are /all/ required glue (ends with the zone name) and the TTL on 
them is shorter than the NS records, they will get flushed from cache before 
the NS records and thus give SERVFAIL until the NS records timeout.  So in 
that scenario, resolution by others will experience SERVFAIL for periods of 
time regularly.

Examples of more permenant SERVFAIL are:

Firewall misconfiguration (permanently preventing access to an authoritative 
resolver).

Name server misconfiguration (e.g. broken zone file)

Failed to pay bill for DNS services

Based on that feedback, I don't think it's appropriate to call SERVFAIL a 
permanent error on a general basis as I originally proposed.  OTOH, the 
operational problem with permanent (long term) SERVFAIL is a real one.

I don't know what the best solution is, but perhaps it can be addressed.

My initial thought is to allow (but not require) receivers to track SERVFAIL 
based temperrors and if they persist for more than $PERIOD (let's start the 
bidding at 24 hours) then future consectutive SERVFAIL responses for that 
domain MAY be considered permanent errors.  

I would also say that receivers that are going to defer message acceptance 
based on SPF temperror SHOULD do this (the spec should not take a position on 
the decision to implement defer on SPF temperror or not, just on how to do it 
if that's the receiver policy).

I propose it as a MAY because I think it's only really important for the defer 
on temperror case and I don't think we want to force additional complexity 
into the mandatory parts of the protocol without a strong reason.

If this (or something like it) were included in 4408bis, I would implement it 
because it would allow me to restore defer on temperror as a system default (I 
disabled it by default in 2007 after user complaints about long duration 
temperrors due to SERVFAIL).

I agree with Murray: RCODE=2 is not a permanent error in the DNS.

The reason it's not specific is because there could be just about
_any_ reason why you get RCODE=2.  

Scott mentioned downthread the case where you have an in-cache NS set
and no glue records to get you there.  But there are lots of other
cases.  For instance, some authoritative servers will respond SERVFAIL
while loading a zone.  Different implementations respond with SERVFAIL
for different reasons.  A validating resolver will respond with
SERVFAIL if the DNS response is not validatable and CD=1 is not set on
the query.  And so on.  Some of these could be transitory (many are)
and some could be permanent (the server is broken, for instance).

When dealing with DNS, I'm usually very reluctant to call an error
permanent.

Best,

A

+1.

Yet, for the same reasons why SMTP outbound mail queuing and retry 
methods vary to a wide agree, the translation of all result should be 
a local policy and IMV codified in the SPF-BIS spec as an item for 
flexible configuration for implementation to consider.

A principle reason is the idea of controlling redundancy. i.e. a 
domain is exhibiting a history of perpetual temporary errors. At some 
point, a local policy may include a rule to translate this to to a 
permanent condition.

The data from a bunch of nameservers in 72.167.238.* which are doing 
(apparently) simultaneous lookups indicates that they then pick 
whichever record comes back first.

I modified my TXT/SPF records by adding a  'exists:SPF.qtype.%{d}' to 
the SPF record and TXT.qtype to the TXT record. This allows me to tell 
(by the subsequent lookup) which they process.

Indeed, whichever query I process first (TXT or SPF), this is the record 
that they actually process as shown by their processing of the exists: 
mechanism (these domains returns NXDOMAIN so as not to interfere with 
processing).

and may I add... successful first response or first response

Well bug (not supported), yes, the RFC3597 issue was long understood.

My point is that its just a method, so unless you are noting it SHOULD 
be the only recommended method, it needs to be expanded and explained.

Primarily because A) it comes with an inherent design assumption about 
the SPF software integrated method for DNS client operations, and B) 
in lieu of A, the end result MUST|SHOULD match the most common 
possible, easier to do, synchronous sequential method.

What is implies the SPF-BIS assumes the DNS resolver component of an 
SPF package is expected to have an asynchronous DNSQuery solution 
already embedded in its API.

I don't think this technical requirement for the DNS API should be 
assumed, not assumed that the SPF software can be written to support 
asynchronous callback, event or messaging based frameworks.  It can be 
100% procedural or functional programming based with a synchronous 
programming model.

In any case, it should explained anyway. :)

Hello,

Empirical evidence so far seems to indicate that there is a 
significant amount of DNS queries for the SPF RR (TYPE 99) and some 
sites publish it.  We have seen arguments in favour of removing the 
feature, and in favour of retaining it.

Our charter says this:

       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.

Therefore, the WG Chairs would like to close Issue #9 with the 
conclusion that the SPFBIS WG does not have consensus to remove the feature.

Objections to this determination of consensus need to produce 
evidence that the feature is not used, or that the removal of TYPE 99 
is an enhancement that has already gained widespread support.  Please 
remember that the desirability of the removal of the feature is not 
enough: the charter restricts our freedom to do what we want here.

Best regards,
Andrew Sullivan & S. Moonesamy, SPFBIS WG Chairs

Personally, I think Type SPF could be removed as a mistake, so I don't think we are inherently limited by the charter.

If it stays in, there will be a derivative issue about query order. 4408 says SHOULD do Type SPF queries first if they are done sequentially. It should be the other way around. The query most likely to be successful should be done first.

I don't have a strong position about keeping itor dropping it but I
agree with Scott that if we keep it we should minimize overhead by
specifying the query most likely to be successful (TXT) should be done
first.

Given that the IESG recently approved publication of the V6OPS working grou=

tion to remember the results of simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 operations and o=
ptimize based on that, this seems like something worth considering.  I don'=

Dear colleagues,

Speaking with my hat on, I think the meaning of "correction of errors"
in the charter means corrections of errors in the specification and
not in the design.  That is, this is the basis for incorporation of
errata.  I believe the charter is designed precisely to limit changes
in functionality.  I'd be very much interested if people disagree with
that interpretation, and would like to hear as much if so.

If my interpretation is right, then "mistake" in your sense wouldn't
qualify, because you're arguing that it was a mistake in the design,
and not a mistake in the way the RFC describes things.

Do you think (or not think) that that is also a substantive change in
functionality, and therefore would qualify as an "enhancement"?

Thanks,

I agree that this is at least worthy of discussion.  Please open it as a ne=

I think it qualifies under the clause "addition of any enhancements that ha=
ve already gained widespread support", if we can show that most of the SPF =
record publications use TXT.  We are thus guided by the implementation we o=
bserve.

I think it would be a mistake if we do not consider these are 
extremely important points with was always a common design goal to 
reduce and minimize all DNS related overhead concerns.

I believe the original intent which included short term concerns and 
long term expectations for adoption was right on and the time spent to 
measure it now has shown the correct RFC engineering expectations has 
materialized.  SPF always had several thorns on it side within the 
IETF and one of them was its high DNS dependency and the "Kludge 
Effect" of using a TXT record.  Personally, this is one of those "feel 
good" outcomes that took a long time to see it done right.

I believe what is important now, could be viewed at the 2nd phase 
which is to begin to study and recommend the methods available from 
the worst to the ideal and preferred method for dual type queries. 
The 2nd phase also includes moving towards the publishing of SPF type 
only records which will also take many years, but it will never happen 
unless SPF-BIS prepares and encourages it.

The maturity level of the design related to Type SPF and it's interaction with Type TXT SPF records was substantially less than the rest of RFC 4408.

The rest of the SPF design was built on years of running code and operational experience. The Type SPF parts were a paper design with literally days to do minimal experimentation.

As long as we aren't changing the design in an incompatible way, there ought to be more wiggle room for changes due to error in this area.

Pete is the AD responsible for this WG, so I'll defer to him, at least
for now, if he disagrees with me, but I think the situation is as
Andrew said, and that trying to declare the definition of an SPF RR an
"error" in order to remove it is an attempt to sneak past the charter
restrictions.  Not acceptable.

If "nearly all" existing implementations query TXT first, then the
charter allows this change, as an enhancement that has gained
widespread support.  I would also be willing to be convinced that it's
a "clarification", though it would take some convincing.  (And I don't
see where RFC 4408 says anything at all about which "SHOULD" be
queried first; perhaps someone can point to the section and paragraph
they think says that.)

Let's please tread carefully here, lest someone win this one, and then
find himself on the losing end of a different issue wherein people are
trying to tweak the spec beyond what the charter was meant to allow.
I suggest that we stick to the intent of the charter, which is to move
what's currently there to standards track, and to consider these sorts
of changes afterward, as an update at PS or during advancement to IS.

I agree with your interpretation as regards specification documentation 
errors vs. design refinements.

In SPF v1, there seems at least a case for keeping and supporting the RR 
specifically allocated for SPF by the good folks who shepherd the DNS RR 
allocations.

While others argue that the TXT record is currently the most widely 
published and that the SPF is not always selected first, perhaps that 
comes from the history of the implementation of SPF, which started 
before the SPF RR was ever approved and implemented in BIND DNS and 
later in other such DNS server software.

Going forward, I think that it makes sense to keep to the implementation 
recommendations in the SPF experimental draft (i.e., one should check 
for SPF RR then TXT RR).  Over time, I think it was the hope of the 
earlier group working on the specification that folks would transition 
to the SPF RRs when that recommendation was made.  While that may not 
have happened in a broad sense as quickly as had been hoped within the 
SPF publishing or implementer community, perhaps with this SPFbis, we 
are reinforcing what we think is a best practice behavior in 
implementing SPF as a publisher.

Another point brought forward is that often it takes time to get folks 
to move forward on upgrading software versions and making changes to DNS 
authoritative host zone files.  While that is true, it should not negate 
the responsibility of those putting together specifications to point 
folks in the right direction as regards the implementation of SPF RRs in 
their DNS host zone files.

Operationally, I think that keeping the TXT and SPF RRs in sync is not 
really all that hard to do.

Best,

Alan M.

My own read of the accumulated data to date (which I don't assert is the co=
nsensus view, though it might be) is that most implementations query SPF an=
d then TXT, or query them approximately simultaneously; meanwhile, most SPF=
 records that exist are of type TXT.  This at least lends support to advoca=
ting a client optimization that takes advantage of this, perhaps in an info=
rmative statement.  We are, after all, basing this advancement on interoper=
ability experience gained in the last six years.  I think the charter permi=
ts that.

One could also acknowledge that that's just how things appear today, and th=
ere could be some shift in the direction of publishing type SPF records for=
 some reason as this work and related work evolve.  But that's pretty hard =
to predict.

This brings up an interesting question: Although we (as experienced folk) f=
ind doing so operationally easy, there are examples of cases where this isn=
't done.  It is of course hard to determine whether those operators did so =
intentionally.  Nevertheless, we might think it's hard, but maybe the laype=
rson disagrees.  The question, then, is how that should influence what we p=
roduce here.

Dear Murray,

The suggestion of creating recommendations similar to those found in Dan 
Wing's and Andrew Yourtchenko's draft is good.  This type of advice 
could cover Name and No Data errors generally, while addressing resource 
type selection.

No hat, and this is not strictly on topic.

Frankly, a lot of the reason for difficulty with DNS administration
(in this case, keeping SPF and the corresponding TXT records in sync,
but there are lots of other issues, such as proper zone transfer
hygeine, SOA serial handling -- anything you like) just comes down to
the same miserable toolchain that people have for maintaining DNS
zones.

Large numbers of operators still, as far as I can tell, use manual
entry and cut and paste and so on as the main tools for maintaining
their zones.  A surprising number of people don't even have automatic
check-ins to revision control in order to go back if something is
broken.  And a terrible number of DNS interfaces are just web pages
with forms in them: you _couldn't_ do good change control even if you
wanted to.

With that being the way zones are maintained, it is no wonder that
people don't use the SPF (or any other specialized) record.  It is,
however, also a possible reason why just falling back to TXT records
are dangerous: because TXT can't possibly have strong error-checking
rules attached to it in a general-purpose DNS maintenance system, it's
easy to break things with TXT where it should be hard if you have
well-defined data types.

The overall situation for "layperson" DNS operators is, frankly,
depressing no matter which way you turn.  Boo hiss.

There aren't any. The ones that query TXT "first" query only TXT because 
there's no point in a second query for Type SPF.  Domains that don't publish 
Type TXT won't be publishing Type SPF, so to expend remote resources to 
respond to such pointless queries borders on abusive.

I think this one is unique because it has no negative interoperability 
impacts.

This is why I suggest specifying the query most likely to succeed be done first

It depends on the goal of the working group.  Do we want something that's

If I take the meaning of "unused features" to be applied to an aspect of SP=
F that does not factor materially into the successful daily operation of SP=
F, having had 6+ years to establish such a presence, a preliminary survey o=
f 1000 domains randomly chosen from Hotmail's SPF record cache does not fin=
d a single DNS type 99 record.

In the interest of being thorough, I'm running three tests:

- two sets of 10,000 domains chosen at random from a Sept'11 snapshot of th=
e SenderID cache, and one from today's snapshot

- the top 10,000 domains by sending volume as seen by Hotmail today

Where the test consists of identifying which domains publish TXT, SPF, or b=
oth. It should be done by Monday (I have to fly under the radar or corp IT =
will boot me off the network).

Regardless of software support for querying type 99 records, if they aren't=
 published I have a hard time qualifying the feature as "used".

Subject: [spfbis] Call for intermediate consensus on SPF RRTYPE (issue #9)

Hello,

Empirical evidence so far seems to indicate that there is a significant amo=
unt of DNS queries for the SPF RR (TYPE 99) and some sites publish it.  We =
have seen arguments in favour of removing the feature, and in favour of ret=
aining it.

Our charter says this:

       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.

Therefore, the WG Chairs would like to close Issue #9 with the conclusion t=
hat the SPFBIS WG does not have consensus to remove the feature.

Objections to this determination of consensus need to produce evidence that=
 the feature is not used, or that the removal of TYPE 99 is an enhancement =
that has already gained widespread support.  Please remember that the desir=
ability of the removal of the feature is not
enough: the charter restricts our freedom to do what we want here.

Best regards,
Andrew Sullivan & S. Moonesamy, SPFBIS WG Chairs

A major point missing is that there was a period where it wasn't 
feasible to do type 99, not because their not be a record behind it, 
but simply because it just won't get through!

See RFC3597.  This issue was well known and guess what? Microsoft was 
a major part of volume of servers that did not support SRV, IXFR 
needed for AD or any new RR types in DNS 4.0.  AD would not taken off 
until DNS 5.0 came and people started to migrate it.  Ask any of the 
MVP for DNS/AD like Ace Fekay about it.

Even if we wanted to use SPF type with SPF published records, it just 
wouldn't work - period. What I am missing here?

Not until DNS servers updated would it can conceivable to work, and in 
the Windows world people needed to move from DNS 4.0 to 5.0 and even 
then, nor SRV or AD force the issue until one of the past infamous 
port 445 DoS attacks occurred and with no MS answer for 4.0, only then 
did you many DNS 4.0 operators, perhaps reluctantly, finally make the 
switch - I was one of them. No DoS. No Switch.

But after the switch, only then was it possible to consider AD, XMPP 
installation worked better now. Only then did the ideas of once again 
exploring new protocols with SRV and other types did it become more 
feasible to consider.

If it wasn't for the DoS, I just guessing, we might be having a 
different set of events here. :)

That would be pretty much be all of us.  The infrastructure based call 
was made to help lower the impact SPF received may have by using TXT 
records by using its own RR record.  All the short term hiccups were 
acknowledged and long term engineering considerations were made. All 
done in the name of improvement its implications on DNS, and I don't 
mind saying, to help win IETF endorsement where there was and probably 
still is much resistance with whats considered a "Kludge" solution. 
So all the engineering was considered and what we are finding out now, 
we were right on.

So I have a sense that if we negate all these infrastructure goals by 
dropping type 99, I somehow feel we are not doing SPF a service come 
the IETF/IESG reviews and endorsement among the DNS community.

I don't know, how to read these guys these days. People change, more 
empathetic, settle on thing and may just feel - don't break what seems 
to be working.  :)

I'm sorry, but this is two things: false and rude.

Let's all take a moment to re-read the co-chairs' "comportment" message, pl=

Funny; in running mine, I've noticed that after the first chunk of the test=
 space is run, it gets a lot slower.  I wonder if somewhere upstream I'm be=
ing DNS rate-limited.

Slightly off-topic, I know, but curious that we all have the same issue.

Wow. I must completely stupid because I didn't think it was false nor 
rude. I really don't and I would like to hear it from people like 
Barry Leiba to explain to off list how I was rude. I seriously and 
honestly don't see how I was out of line with that.

I am sorry to see that I continue to be a target of yours.

That sample size might be enough to avoid seeing any instances.  The active=
 polling I'm doing has checked 29088 domains so far and found only 29 type =
99 records, so as luck would have it your ratio is approximately such that =
one more might've found a single hit.  :-)

Can you characterize the cache at all in terms of size or duration caps?  O=
r is it basically a DNS cache?

I'd prefer to see it removed.  I agree with the idea of trying to advance a=
 cleaner specification, and removing something only half of the installed b=
ase (and a very specific half at that) is using after all this time seems t=
o me like it should qualify.

However, if the ruling is that even client-only use of a feature "counts" i=

that change, then I think adding some good operational advice like this in =
an appendix is a reasonable path forward on this issue.

While running some more query reports about deployed SPF records, I came ac=
ross a few interesting cases.  My favourite two examples are ut.edu and aar=
online.com.  Do a TXT query of both to see what I'm looking at.  The ut.edu=
 one actually triggered truncation in my tests.

So for the sake of discussion, let me toss out this straw man argument:

An SPF client that queries SPF first and actually gets answers is far less =
likely to need hardening against this kind of junk.   It's thus less likely=
 to break.  Therefore, enabling the isolation of SPF data into its own RRty=
pe is actually beneficial, and so we should keep it and re-emphasize its va=
lue.

(Yes, I know it's easy to cycle through a TXT RRset and only extract stuff =
that starts "v=3Dspf1".  That doesn't mean everyone will get it right.)

For another example, look at zagat.com.  The Google Apps site ownership ver=
ification record is one example of how TXT is overloaded for numerous purpo=
ses for which SPF clients need to be prepared if they're querying TXT, but =
would very unlikely be a concern for an SPF RRset.

Again, just a straw man that might end up being useful when considering the=
 merits of the proposal to remove type 99 vs. keeping it.  I don't know tha=
t I agree with it.

For that matter, is the fear of unsupported RRtypes that was obviously arou=
nd six years ago still an issue today?  Could we actually go the other way =
and slap a SHOULD NOT on TXT records because support is now relatively avai=
lable?

I got SERVFAIL from aaronline.com.

Contrarywise, an SPF client that queries for TXT under any circumstances needs 
to be prepared to deal with it, so there's still no benefit.

This isn't a new type of concern and I think it's safe to assume 
implementations can at least pick the right record.  There are other ways that 
things that aren't valid SPF records can get published that would also apply 
to Type SPF (one of my favorites being the ones that have no spaces) so Type 
SPF really doesn't avoid anything.

That doesn't excuse an SPF client from having to do basic input validation on 
Type SPF record and it's trivial to do.

Publishing Type SPF is fine for people that run their own DNS servers.  I'm not 
aware of any commercial host that supports it.

Given the chairs comments on WG scope, I think slapping a SHOULD NOT on 
something because we thing it might be a good idea is out of scope anyway.

I agree.  Looking at my logs, most queries for type SPF records come
from a handful of large mail systems which also look for TXT, notably
Yahoo and Godaddy.  I see no evidence that anyone queries SPF who
doesn't also query for TXT, either at the same time or or if the type
99 fails.

We know of two bad things about type 99 records: they offer an
opportunity to screw things up if somone's SPF and TXT records don't
match, and for many clients they double the DNS traffic.  We don't
know of anything good about them in practice, since everyone has to
publish TXT records anyway.

My preference would be to deprecate them.  You can publish them or
query them if you really want, but our new advice is that you SHOULD
just publish TXT and you SHOULD just query for TXT.

R's,
John

Happy eyeballs aside, has anyone in the SPF community, or any similar appli=
cation for that matter, tried something like this?  Any results from which =
we can learn?

If so, it seems like we should consider adding some informative guidance ba=
sed on experience.  I contend that's within charter, because it's not chang=
ing the specification itself, and is aimed at providing improved interopera=
bility.

If not, then perhaps the collected experience about this and the RR type di=
scussion might be input to an applicability statement that someone writes s=
omewhere down the road, either individually or after a re-charter.

I'm not aware of anyone trying it.

I know I got complaints about emails being stuck in a mail queue for 5 days 
when I was doing defer on temperror.  This seems like a reasonable way around 
that problem.  Due to long term temperror the general view in the community 
was that we couldn't recommend defer on temperror.

Up until this discussion, I thought the solution was treating SERVFAIL as a 
permanent error, but now I see that isn't a good idea, so I proposed this as a 
conceptually straightforward (if someone complex to implement) method for 
solving the problem.

I can take a stab at code if it would help with getting it accepted.

The sanity check for SPF records is identical to that for TXT records,
so why wouldn't you do the same thing either way?  Also, SPF records
offer their own exciting failure modes.  See, for example, the mail on
the dmarc-discuss list a few weeks ago from the guy who insists on
returning NOTIMP in response to type 99 queries, which Yahoo
interpreted as a soft failure it should retry.

>For that matter, is the fear of unsupported RRtypes that was obviously
>around six years ago still an issue today?

I'm not sure fear is the right word, but there's vast amounts of DNS
provisioning* software that only support a fixed set of RRs, and SPF
inevitably isn't one of them.  Or they only support them via ugly
escape codes.  Here, for example, is the source form of one of my SPF
records:

:taugh.com:99:\072v=spf1\040ip4\07264.57.183.0\05726\040ip6\0722001\072470\0721f07\0721126\072\072\05764\040~all:7200

(That was generated by a perl script, but not all provisioning systems
are run by perl weenies.)

A few months ago I sent a proposal to the dnsext group for a simple
DNS extension language that would make it easier to add new RRs to
both servers and provisioning software, but although a few people
expressed interest, it looks like dnsext will shut down without doing
anything about it.

R's,
John

We should realize that seven years has been plenty of time for the
real world out there to give a response.  Actually, it did.  The
outcome of this experiment was already clear to those who specified
DKIM, ADSP, VBR, and similar, based on SPF experience.  SPF is not
famous for its ease at getting standardized, and I see no reason why
it should be the one protocol that takes upon itself the burden of
questing this DNS conundrum, most likely at the expenses of its own
success.

Defining RRs for helo names is even easier.

I think it was unintentional.  I didn't interpret it in a negative way when I 
first read it.

I'm not very good at math, but I do think yours and Paul's research involves 
sufficiently large sample size to be reasonably suggestive of what is true for 
the "population" of relevant DNS names.  (As I recall, for regular surveys about 
a single objective, binary characteristic, a sufficiently random sampling only 
needs about 113 data points to represent the population of the US.)

I believe the summary of your findings is that the SPF record is present in:

     0.0 - 0.1%

of the domains.

Hello,

This case is unusual.  There has been comments about what is an unused feature.

  (i)   Is the DNS RR of type SPF, code 99, an optional feature in
        implementations of RFC 4408?

  (ii)  Is the DNS RR of type SPF, code 99, optional for a SPF-compliant
        domain name?

  (iii) Is there an interoperability problem when the DNS RR of type SPF,
        code 99, is used?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

For what it's worth, and not intending to contradict the 113 data-points st=
atement, we've learned (internally) that the minimum bar for a statisticall=
y reliable sample is 10,000 messages, where 100,000 is viewed as unimpeacha=
ble but generally total overkill.

Two of my queries completed overnight and support your conclusion.

Of 19729 domains surveyed:

Neither	: 8174
SPF-only	: 14
TXT-only	: 11332
Both		: 209

In terms of percentages:

Neither	: 41.43% of surveyed domains
SPF-only	: 0.07% of surveyed domains; 0.12% of publishing domains
TXT-only	: 57.44% of surveyed domains; 98.07% of publishing domains
Both		: 1.06% of surveyed domains; 1.81% of publishing domains

Given the nature of this sample (randomly chosen domains, no additional bia=
s) the "publishing domains" values should be given more weight.

The potential errors in the data are that the domain list was not scrubbed =
to remove long-tail  or "bad" senders such as low-volume, spam hosts, bots,=
 etc., and there is no comparison (yet - hoping the chairs leave this open =
long enough to get that data) with a top-10k domain list based on delivered=
 volume (e.g. "mail that matters").

i've changed the Subject since this at least somewhat off topic.

My training was for psych experimentation and I can't find a citation that says 
anything like the 113 number I quoted.

I did find something with numbers of the /type/ I meant:

    <http://www.measuringusability.com/survey-sample-size.php>

where psych research tends towards the 5% margin of error.  The URL points to 
381 for that.

But I'm more interested that it says 9600 for 1%.  That sounds suspiciously like 
10,000...

On the other hand, it does not really permit reporting fractions of a percent 
for the result.  Maybe halves of percent, but not, IMO, as fine as tenths of a 
percent.

I suspect that requires a sample size of at least 30,000, if I'm reading the 
trending on the table correctly...

Thanks for the data.  Even if an issue is closed, it can be reopened 
if there is new data which points to an incorrect conclusion.  It's 
up to the WG participants to consider the data and draw their 
conclusions.  I try to get a sense of the consensus.

As an off-topic note, I have seen some comments on this thread which 
are non-technical.  If you consider a comment as inappropriate, you 
can send a private message to the WG Chairs (spfbis-chairs@tools.ietf.org).

My opinion:

Since type 99 is still now part of the SPF-BIS process, I believe it 
promotes any issue (currently cataloged or needs to be created) that 
relates to the SPF-BIS recommended dual type look up algorithm to be 
codified in the spec.  I think issue #25 currently comes close to 
that, but it may need a new issue proposal for a new specific section.

With over 87000 domains checked in this run, so far I have 47970 publishing=
 type 16 and 83 publishing type 99, with zero publishing both.

At this rate it'll probably take a few more days to check all of the domain=
s it plans to check.

The interesting thing I forgot to mention thus far is that the set of domai=
ns it's checking is basically "any domain for which at some point in the la=
st 18 months I got an SPF 'Pass' result."  It's curious that about half of =
them now aren't showing records at all.

(Well, maybe it's spammers, in which case it's not that curious.)

My Opinion:

Interesting records.

The first one, ut.edu, there is no v=SPF1 "string" that I can see, so 
even though we may view this as "junk", in SPF terms with a proper 
expected parsing, there is no v=SPF1, so no issue here. (Extra comment 
about this below).

The 2nd one, arronline.com, this one had a bunch of v=spf1 strings. 
IMO, the technical question for SPF-BIS is which one should be valid. 
  I would think "software wise" the first one is the one that should 
honor and the logic SHOULD stop to continue looking for any more.

Regarding the ut.edu record, I think the issue here is how TXT records 
are/were used to EXPLORE many different ideas to expose domain 
information.

Look up winserver.com to see the some different ideas were explored.

Regarding the arronline.com and zagat.com, lookup  _dsap.isdg.net and 
see the ideas here exploring the merging of multiple v=dsap1 records 
to deal with different domains and wildcarding.  The old DMP 
experimental LMAP protocol was similar with using multiple strings.

So its all part of the DNS infrastructure concerns debated with using 
TXT records in different ways.  The evidence you provide shows these 
efforts.

In My view:

  using type 99

    PRO: helps with isolating a protocol framework data, less conflicts.
         (Note: CEP (prior to SENDER-ID) had its own namespace).

    PRO: Helps with IETF/DNS community endorsement

    CON: RFC 3597 related issue, higher CON yesteryears, lesser CON today.

  using TXT

    PRO: Helps for multiple protocols to share the same namespace
        (i.e. 1 query vs multiple queries)

    PRO: Probably view as simpler

    CON: Does not helps with IETF endorsement

    CON: More complex, no standard set to separate them except for
         looking for specific start tags

I think a forward looking consideration is the idea of clients having 
to use different query formats for different protocols where perhaps 
maybe there should be all part of a single call.  This will have with 
long term scaling of DNS storage usage.  Does a focus on reliable 
wildcarding helps here?

Perhaps there is a need to propose a BATCH Multiple Query Packet 
concept for DNS that is now emulated using async methods.

The implementation I did with a colleague back in about 2006-2008 never che=
cked type 99 records because the "T_SPF" mnemonic in the UNIX include file =
<arpa/nameser.h> wasn't defined.  At the time we chose only to query things=
 for which the nameserver code apparently included native support.  RFC4408=
 says you do one, the other, or both, and if doing both, you MAY do them in=
 parallel.  Thus, this choice was compliant with the specification.

A quick look at the online source repository for FreeBSD and a recent Linux=
 installation shows they still don't define T_SPF or the newer variant (ns_=
t_spf), years later.

>   (ii)  Is the DNS RR of type SPF, code 99, optional for a SPF-compliant
>         domain name?

Section 3.1.1 of RFC4408 says:

   An SPF-compliant domain name SHOULD have SPF records of both RR
   types.  A compliant domain name MUST have a record of at least one
   type.  If a domain has records of both types, they MUST have
   identical content. =20

Your question used "optional", which of course is an RFC2119 word.  :-)  Us=
ing it in its English sense and not that sense, yes, it's optional; you're =
still compliant if you don't use it.

>   (iii) Is there an interoperability problem when the DNS RR of type SPF,
>         code 99, is used?

Barring errors, clients that query for them almost always get an RCODE 3 re=
ply.  This causes them to add a negative cache entry, whether or not the TX=
T query was done in parallel.  This seems wasteful since we know it's almos=
t never there; such cache entries would better serve other purposes.  The c=
lients then fall back to TXT queries, which works fine and is actually ther=
e in all the other cases where the domain publishes something.

The few servers that do post them do get good interoperability, of course, =
but apparently this is very unusual, probably because of the weak provision=
ing systems Andrew and John alluded to earlier.

This raises an interesting question, now that I think of it.

RFC4408 (Section 3.1.1) says the server side SHOULD use both types, and MUS=
T use at least one type.  It also (Section 4.4) says that clients can query=
 one type, the other type, or both.

Doesn't that mean that a server that publishes only TXT, and a client that =
queries only for SPF, or vice-versa for that matter, are both fully complia=
nt but will never actually interoperate?

Respectfully, I think we need a little more time to talk about this.

The curious thing is that the question of "used" in our processes is ambigu=
ous.  Type 99 is very clearly used widely by clients and very clearly not u=
sed widely by servers.  Does it count as "used" when clients are asking but=
 the servers aren't answering?  Is the relatively tiny intersection of the =
two enough to establish a statement of interoperability and sufficient depl=
oyment to warrant keeping it?

I'm trying to think of any examples of other protocols that have faced this=
 question in the past and use them to guide our own resolution, but I can't=
 come up with any yet.

I believe Dave pointed out that if we were to try to advance a protocol fro=
m Proposed Standard under those conditions, there would likely be some chal=
lenges raised.  Whatever we decide, we should be prepared to answer them.

I just brought up a couple of related issues elsewhere in this thread as we=
ll.

Thanks,

My opinion:

This is the sort of items that needs to be cleared up in SPF-BIS. I 
always thought it was well understood is was a migration issue. If its 
not already stated somewhere in the spec, a domain using SPF type 
published records only would not get widest support due the well known 
RFC3597 issues. It will surprising to me to see if there are a high 
number of SPF type only records.

It would be similar with DKIM's SHA1 vs SHA256 migration issue and we 
will need the same type of language.  Technically, a signer that only 
used SHA256 did not reach the widest support because some early 
desktop OSes like Windows XP with the CAPI API, did not offer it 
(SHA256) until much later after the chinese SHA1 exploit was published 
and Microsoft finally added  SHA256 support under a security patch.

Regardless, I think the same type of migration language as you have in 
DKIM is needed for SPF-BIS for the dual type supported client.

Borrowing DKIM text:

    SPF Publishers MUST implement and SHOULD use SPF RR Type
    SPF Verifiers MUST implement both SPF and TXT RR type queries.

I think you get the idea and you would be better at structuring the 
text with the recommended order and perhaps expanding a little about 
using async or parallel methods but I believe async needs to match how 
two sync sequential calls should work.

The query MUSH|SHOULD start with SPF type first. If it fails (what is 
fail here?) fall back to TXT.  Whether its done sync or async, IMO, 
the end result we want needs to be the same.

Finally, on the flip side, like DKIM, because of this, some just don't 
bother and just use SHA1 and that will give 100% verifier support.

This is and always was a migration consideration in my opinion.

I will treat the issue in the same way done with DKIM in regards to 
SHA1 vs 256.  The publisher is expect to do the most optimal thing for 
migration and the client need to be prepared for both.

This is based on wishful thinking.

MUST/SHOULD Type SPF first is a wasteful design approach meant use a spec to push people to do something operationally suboptimal in order to satisfy some theoretical architectural construct.

The reason some domains publish Type SPF only is that RFC 4408 gives them absolutely no hint that's a bad idea.  For 4408bis we should be honest and provide realistic guidance.

Since the order the various strings will be returned varies, that would mean a different result on subsequent queries. That kind of stochastic behavior is something we need to avoid. Under RFC 4408 multiple SPF records like this is a permanent error and that should not change for 4408bis.

You are referring to 4.5

    If there are two or more records remaining, then check_host() exits
    immediately with the result of "PermError".

Right?  Ok, +1. Bad record.

These two statements make a pretty compelling case that there is, indeed,
an error in RFC4408.  There are, of course, multiple ways to resolve it,
and I have no immediate opinion on which is best.

It is indeed the case that the DKIM SHA1/SHA256 stuff was intended a transi=
tion mechanism.  We've also seen that even newer signers use the old way (g=
mail.com, for instance, uses rsa-sha1 last I checked).

But also I don't think the DKIM analogy works because both variants of DKIM=
 signing are contained within a single communication mechanism, i.e., the s=
ignature header field.  A verifier always gets the signature, and then in a=
nalyzing the signature parameters, decides it can't complete the action.  B=
ut some interoperability did occur, because there was information exchange =
at least to that point.  The same is not true for the SPF vs. TXT discussio=
n, where the answer waiting is never seen because a different question is a=
sked.

Changing the normative text but keeping both types would also not address t=
he problem of DNS provisioning systems that can't handle type 99 records.

Any solution we select should include at least that, in my opinion.

Sounds like a bug in the spec to me.  I'd suggest opening an issue,
but the fix is obvious once we decide about type 99.

The charter permits removal of unused features.

SPF is widely deployed and has become integral to anti-abuse activities.  It is 
a successful service.

However the SPF RR feature is unused.

Empirical data is consistently showing that it is widely used by clients 
(queriers) but virtually unused by servers (publishers).

A protocol that has essentially nothing but clients is not a 'used' protocol. It 
takes two to tango for this mechanism.

A protocol that has been unused after 6 years and is showing no signs of 
becoming used is not a viable protocol.

Whatever problems are feared about the use of the TXT form of SPF record, they 
have not been demonstrated in six years.

A widely used service, with six years of history, is a stable service.  There is 
no evidence that its current form of use will change, nor any factors 
encouraging that change.

The SPF RR is an unused capability. Removing it is a simplification that is 
straightforward and entirely justified.

Having two mechanisms for the same purpose encourages bugs in code and 
variability in responses.

I object to the characterization that the feature is used.  I object to the form 
of the consensus call.

Remove the feature.

I don't quite see the error part of this, but rather the spec left it 
open ended in how to apply the new "infrastructure based decision" RR 
type being considered.  Seems to be like the right SPF-BIS material to 
write

But right now, I think the question is related to the DNS 
"optimization" decision to even consider it in the first place and 
whether if we should continue to consider it. I don't agree it should 
be solely based on "goal searching" basis of low usage where there is 
clear evidence it is.

In other words, I personally would like to see what the overall IETF 
and DNS community mindset is regarding the general consideration of 
using specific RR types.  It seems the mindset has changed to one that 
using TXT records is perfectly ok to use, coupled with concerns that 
using RR types is just too problematic (not seeing myself how outside 
RFC3597)

If that is the case, then I personally agree, go for the simplicity 
and nix it.

But if the ideal is still there, then I think the maturity of using it 
should continue.

If this is the case, then the migration expected is on par; first get 
clients to support it and then declare it safe for publishers to drive 
the (new) road:

       "Ok Folks, the BAR is OPEN, start publishing SPF type records."

If a tree falls in the middle of a forest, does it make a sound?

SPF is a protocol, a way of communicating between people.   SPF uses two channels for this communication, TXT and type 99 records.

It doesn't matter if there are giga-packets per second querying type 99 records, if there are very few type 99 records published, then that channel isn't being used to communicate.   There may be noise on that channel, but that's irrelevant.

It doesn't matter if there are millions of SPF records publish (TXT and type 99) and millions of queries for SPF records.   If all the queries actually go to domains that do not publish SPF records, then there isn't any communication going on and the whole SPF experiment is a failure and should be abandoned. 

I'm not being flippant here. One of the original complaints about SPF (even before MARID was created) was that there would be a lot of extra DNS traffic with no real way of even opting out, let alone opting in.  The worst case is some small domain gets joe-jobbed to a very wide number of other domains and all these domains do SPF queries, swamping the small domain.  There isn't anything the small domain can really do either, caching doesn't help because all the requests are coming from different sources.

Based on everything I've seen posted, the type 99 record is not used, it is just noise

As far published records, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the results on http://www.openspf.net/Statistics and The Masurement Factory in particular.  There newest survey of SPF records is from Oct 2010, but it documents rates of changes in publishing over the years.

Assuming we agree on that, then is it reasonable to assume the argument aga=
inst changing due to the need to touch the installed base is no longer vali=
d?  That is, if we agree there's a bug, then we agree they'll need to upgra=
de (once we decide what the fix is).

It's clear there's a bug. I don't think there's any basis for assuming the fix will affect the installed base that have published records that can be expected to be interpreted reliably.

I think anyone publishing Type SPF only is doing it wrong. They were likely led astray by this bug in the spec.

That's not at all the same as removing features that are in use and working as designed.

Yes, and so have many others as well. SHA1 has the widest 
(guaranteed?) support, but overall simpler, lesser overhead.

The similarity I believe is the idea of a publisher just using SHA256 
signatures. For the same concerns regarding the expected short term 
dearth of supportive clients , DKIM had a less than desirable "higher 
bandwidth and complexity overhead" consideration for using two 
signatures for operations that looked for the highest security with 
the widest backward compatible lower security support.  Only with 
direct targeting could the single SHA256 signature be effective.

Would help if you can take a moment to explain this.  Does this relate 
to the known RFC3597 issues, more probable and expected in 
yesteryears?  Is the known early short term issue to be corrected with 
the expected updating of DNS server still a problem today, at the same 
numbers?

If so, then to me, this is a no brainer. If no one expects or believes 
there would also be a significant # of DNS servers that will never 
support the passthru processing of unnamed types, then I believe it 
makes this idea of nixing it much more plausible.

Isn't this what SPF-BIS is looking for? To codified the parts that 
isn't well understood or needs to better explain all trade offs?

For me Murray, I would like to see if you can find out what is the 
general IETF/DNS community attitude today about using specific RR 
types for new protocols because I thought one of the reasons for 
considering it was to help with the IETF/DNS endorsement with the 
"presumed, perceived" idea it would fit better for large scale DNS 
usage.  Has that changed?

Just seems to me what we expected has materialized, getting the 
clients to support both new and old types first was a prerequisite 
because the spec can comfortable begin suggesting that using SPF type 
published record was technically feasible.  I was really surprise to 
even see there was significant dual type support by the client.  But 
what expected had materialized and I believe SPF-BIS should now go to 
the next step to prepare for the publishing migration.

For the record, I go with either way. Just wish to see a reason that 
is no longer preferred as opposed that no one expected to published 
SPF type records at this point.

Thanks

You are correct about prospects of active use in v=spf1.  However, I
support keeping it in spfbis for two reasons:

 1) those 1% of publishing domains (including mine) help to keep the
record type healthy and working for v=spf3. 

 2) minimal changes to the SPEC

I think it would be reasonable to make this assumption. It would also
be reasonable to assume that we will see un-upgraded implementations

I've no idea what you mean by "keep the record type healthy".  Absent some 
indication that this small usage is actually essential to some market segment, 
the nearly-nil adoption means it is not healthy now.

As for v=spf3, there is no such work envisioned, and nothing need be done now, 
to permit adding it later.  Keeping the current SPF RR does not "reserve" or 
"preserve" anything substantive.


>   2) minimal changes to the SPEC

You are invoking a rule that would mean only making changes to things that are 
causing serious problems.  Sometimes, such a rule is appropriate, but this is 
not one of them.

Making the specification cleaner and clearer, by removing (essentially) unused 
features is at least as beneficial as minimizing changes.

Support for SPF RR has just appeared in RHEL6 in the last year. 
Adoption of support in server platforms has been slow.  (Yes, you could
use the kludgy TYPE99 in earlier bind versions and code the bytes in
HEX, and I've been doing that with a script to copy SPF TXT records -
but no production shop is likely to do that.)  If you stop the pressure
now, then when we get around to v=spf3, there will *still* be no
supported RR available, and it will be back to TXT records again.  I
would really like to have v=spf3 specify MUST use SPF RR and MUST NOT
use TXT record.

Given that server support is just now appearing in conservative
platforms, it is only now that publishing support could start to pick
up.  And if we drop the RR, all the progress is for naught. 

So I support keeping the SPF RR in spfbis, even if the main benefit is
to have it ready and SUPPORTED for v=spf3.

You're right, but so what?  There are a lot more important RRs than
SPF for the DNS crowd to worry about.

And as I noted several messages ago, even if your DNS server has type 99
support, your provisioning system probably doesn't.

In any event, I thought we were still making the list of issues.  I
know what I think the right thing to do about type 99 is (deprecate
it), but I don't see us coming to agreement now.

R's,
John

Hello,

There are 65 messages posted on this thread.  Let me give you some 
feedback of what I see from the quoted text.  This message is not 
intended to say that X is wrong or Y is right or that argument A is 
correct or B is incorrect.

I read the errata posted for RFC 4408 and I added them to the tracker 
as issues.  I did not see any report of an error in Section 3.1.1 of 
RFC 4408.  It is up to this working group to make a compelling case 
that there is, indeed, an error in RFC 4408.  I read the comments 
posted by Murray [1][2] in reply to the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00638.html 
The message by John Levine [3] mentions:

   "Sounds like a bug in the spec to me.  I'd suggest opening an issue,
    but the fix is obvious once we decide about type 99."

Reading that over again, I see that I should have asked him whether 
to open an issue from the above.  I read the message posted by Scott 
Kitterman [4].  For what it is worth, there is also Issue #25 [5] 
where SPF and TXT RRs are mentioned.  As I don't have the faintest 
idea at the moment about Issue #25 (it is not open yet), I cannot 
provide any feedback.  There are some parts of the quoted text on 
which I cannot provide feedback on for now due to the pending objections [6].

Pete Resnick posted a message on February 1 which had an interesting line:

  "Please review the below and see if there is anything that makes 
your head explode."

I should have asked him about that. :-)

He also mentioned [7]:

  "The fact of the matter is that if you all come up with an interpretation
   of this sentence:

     The working group will produce a document describing the course of
     the SPF/Sender-ID experiment, thus bringing that experiment to a
     formal conclusion."

   "If we come up with a reasonable interpretation of that 
deliverable, we'll be
    fine and I will defend it to the hilt."

   "with the caveat that the shepherd and/or I will be doing a 
document writeup,
    and (like the rest of the WG and the chairs, I hope) we will want 
to be able
    to document that the WG did its due diligence to come up with a 
justification
    for the conclusion of the experiment."

My task, in collaboration with Andrew, is to determine consensus not 
override it.  If it is the consensus of this working group that the 
sky is green, that's what goes in the document.  I would like to be 
able to ask for a justification for that conclusion so as to be 
prepared for the questions which will be asked.  If you see me asking 
a question, it is not because I doubt what you are saying.

S. Mooneamy

I'd guess they followed the rule to not fix something that is not
broken.  And the protocol works quite well without type 99.

Or will spf3 use _spf labels?  Possibly, next version of DKIM will
save space by letting data have binary format in its own RR type as
well.  Or maybe not.  That is a DNS issue, not an SPF or DKIM one.

If DNS will have been fixed by then, it will be easier and more joyful
to conceive a newborn type than to resuscitate a dead one.

 From what I see, the question is really about if we deem the original 
consensus of exploring a new RR type was valid to begin with as an 
IETF/DNS Community endorsement appeasing and technologically better 
fit for DNS large scale usage.

If we still don't believe that goal is no longer valid, that DNS is 
very robust today to any all the TXT junk and the reality is seen as 
such that there are too many RFC3597 servers out there, then perhaps 
we should nix type 99 on this basis.

But the current view is to use highly subjective "Low Usage" and 
"Right Set of Users" and predictions "No one will use SPF type 
records" reasons to nix it.  Thats will always be a form of friction.

Either way, removal means change - moving it into a new state of 
unknowns, chaos, and new instability - using the "right set of users" 
concept to determine the triage impact.

I don't think that will be a proper measurement here. SPF has gain 
world wide support as a NON-IETF developed protocol and its influent 
is strongly due to the super wide support by hobbiest to small 
operations. It was the bigger outfit that got on the bandwagon, not 
the other way around and I suspect that any decision based on "Who's 
Who" in the SPF world, well, is going to create a tremendous amount of 
bad PR for the IETF and contention with the SPF Council.

Its going to be very tough to change and also mandate change by trying 
to retrofit SPF via SPF-BIS to work with AUTH-RES, DMARC, DKIM, 
REPORTING stuff, etc.  Its already a tough challenge to attempt to 
integrate all of this.  So I recognize the challenge it presents.

In regards to the new RR type, I would like to know if that is still a 
valid approach for the sake of lowering SPF impact on DNS and also for 
getting IETF/DNS community endorsement.

If not, then nixing it make its more plausible and comfortable to 
consider, for me.

Hi Dave,

There are currently 25 issues listed in the SPFBIS tracker ( 
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/spfbis/trac/report/1 ).  It would take 
at least 50 weeks to process the issues if there is a two-weeks 
consensus call on each and every issue.  The Chairs are of the 
opinion that the working group would not meet the first milestone 
mentioned in the Charter if that path was followed.  However, as the 
Chairs are also responsible to ensure that the working group operates 
in an open and fair manner, we can run a Consensus Call to determine 
whether the working group would like to proceed with a consensus call 
on each issue in the tracker.

Does the above address your objection about "the form of the consensus call"?

Regards.
Andrew Sullivan & S. Moonesamy, SPFBIS WG Chairs

You've arranged the way the group is to work by serializing the discussion of 
issues.  There are only a handful that are likely to have serious discussion 
or doubt about where the consensus lies, but if the current process is too 
slow for you, have a look in the mirror.

   Speaking for myself, I not merely doubt _where_ consensus on issue #9
lies -- I doubt there _is_ a consensus.

   Understand, I do not doubt how a _vote_ would go: I doubt there is a
"consensus" in the IETF sense -- roughly speaking, "that all opinions
have been fairly presented and considered". I continue to hear new
material presented, and I continue to see many folk claiming it's not
worth considering ideas contrary to their own.

   We can, of course, continue this until we reach "consensus by
exhaustion". IMHO, consensus-by-exhaustion this early in a WG's work
is a recipe for disaster, but I suppose YMMV.

   Or we could move on.

   I have a very simple suggestion for moving on. I've even shared it
with the WGCs, who had no problem with it. I was expecting to post it
today.

   But it doesn't look like we're _willing_ to move on. We seem to
believe that this issue is so important that the other 24 will fall in
place if we just resolve this one.

   I don't understand that belief. Please feel free to enlighten me --
but in private email please.

> but if the current process is too slow for you, have a look in the mirror.

   Again, I suggest it's not only the WGCs that should look in the mirror.

Well said Mr. Leslie.

It seems to me what is in conflict is the "criteria" used to make a 
decision.

- Evidence of usage, keep it.
- The Wrong set of people using it,  drop it.

and what appears to be a lonely opinion:

- Does DNS say its no longer necessary to consider as envisioned in MARID
   with the idea to lower SPF impact on DNS and increase IETF/DNS 
community
   endorsement.

I would like see this based on DNS based technical merit rather than 
highly subjective ideas that its not used by the right "who's who" in 
the SPF market.

Before the evidence was provided in the WG, I was all for dropping it 
because I thought it was still a RFC3597 problem.  Now, with the 
evidence I am very eager to support it, but if the DNS community 
believes special RR types is still a problem and will always be 
problem, then lets drop it.

I don't know what this means.  I think that it's reasonably clearly 
established that the current usage of Type SPF records is effectively zero and 
there would be no interoperability impact for dropping it.

I think it's fair to argue that it should be kept because we haven't waited 
long enough and that eventually it will get deployment, but I don't think 
there's an argument for an impact to the current SPF userbase.

MARID is irrelevant.  It ended without producing any output.  If MARID 
consensus counted for anything, Microsoft would not have been able to push a 
Sender ID design through the IESG that used SPF records for PRA assessment 
(the MARID consensus was not to do that, but to use it from mfrom only).

The appeals of the Sender ID RFCs made it clear even then, that MARID 
consensus is irrelevant.  It hasn't gotten more relevant with age.

There is no support in the commercial DNS market (as far as I know) for 
publishing Type SPF records.  Even though most DNS resolvers support it, the 
provisioning tools that most domains use to manage DNS don't.  That makes it 
effectively not useful on a broad scale.  

I think Type SPF is stuck with a Catch 22.  There won't be broad support in 
provisioning tools until it's broadly deployed and there won't be broad 
deployment until it's in the tools.

This is why I think we need more time to discuss it.  This is a complicated=
 topic deserving consideration from many angles.  I think we might have eno=
ugh data, but it's unclear that we've considered fully all the implications=
 of it yet.

If the intent of the "intermediate consensus" call (a new term to me, at le=
ast) is to say "OK, let's park this topic and come back to it", I'd be fine=
 with that, but that's not how I read the chairs' message.

I'm sorry that that wasn't clear.  That was exactly what was intended.
We can't determine consensus right now, so the state of consensus is
indeterminate.  It seems clear that the issue requires more time,
especially since there appears to be a serious interoperability issue
in the text as it stands in RFC 4408.

I think that's reasonable.  I totally didn't get that either.

This is not helping.

Please do not focus on reference MARID, but rather what the GUTS was 
in regards of what the main point was.

    The ORIGINAL GOAL and INTENT of using a new RR type.

Before you can even consider abandoning this, it is PRUDENT that 
original intent was in fact wrong.

Its ashame that you wish to FOCUS on something, ignoring what the 
fundamental point being stated to use continue to use this as a form 
of DISSEMINATION.

Please look at what was STATED and answer that fundamental question. 
It was a MARID decision to produce what we have now - RFC4408, to 
ignore all the engineering insight, time and energy put into it is 
well, I can't described nothing short but fundamentally wrong.

No.  It wasn't.  RFC 4408 was an individual submission.

The only reason Type SPF was included was the DNS mafia of the day would have 
prevented the RFC from being published otherwise.  AFAIK there was not 
detailed analysis or other engineering effort to determine if it was needed.  
Reusing TXT was architecturally impure, so we got RFC 4408 approve  by 
pretending the use of TXT was merely transitional.

If we have to play let's pretend about Type SPF again to get 4408bis approved, 
I'm OK with that, but let's be honest amongst ourselves about what's going on.

There is not and never was a case to make the transition happen.  Despite tons 
of effort going into code to support transition, no transition is happening and 
there's no reason to believe that will change.

Not true, but less forget MARID.  Read what I stated. The fundamental 
issue
is:

     The original goal and intent to consider new RR type.

You are totally ignoring that fundamental and extremely important 
consideration and until you show IETF/DNS community universal proof it 
is no longer desirable, your criteria for abandoning type 99 is highly 
subjective with no evidence it is correct, when in fact the MARID 
generated decision to include it with all its expected short term 
migration path issues has 100% materialized.

To ignore this extremely important point, well, is exclusion of input 
you don't wish to consider.

No, it was not.  That's exactly why we chairs determined that
discussion of what went on in MARID is not on-topic for this
discussion.

We are _not_ doing a -bis on a WG document.  RFC 4408 is not the
product of any WG.  It's true that MARID did some work on something
similar to what became RFC 4408, but the RFC is not the product of
the working group, as a formal matter of history.  If you don't
believe me, please examine the IETF datatracker data:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc4408/history/.  

I understand the temptation to draw analogies with discussions that
happened in MARID.  In my capacity as co-chair, I'm asking you and
every other participant in this WG not to give into that temptation.
If people can't heed that request, I will have to take it up more
formally; but I would prefer that people govern themselves.

Thanks,

A

And where did the DNS "MAFIA" exist? - MARID!  Please, this is getting 
really shamefully chaotic with this denial going on.

To suggest MARID did not have a direct influence in all the RFC 
delivery is simply not true, including, as you admit the "DNS MAFIA" 
force the issue.

So again, forget MARID if you wish, but lets NOT forget the 
fundamental technical valid reasons and considerations was added in 
the first place.

What you are saying it was ALL wrong and flawed to be begin with.

It was theoretically correct, but of little to no practical utility.  I think 
that's still the case.

I do agree with the statement elsewhere in the thread that we're making little 
progress on this issue and we might better spend out time on others and come 
back to this later.

Again, you are ignoring what was stated and I stated it again, this way:

       There is an ORIGINAL RFC 4408 GOAL and INTENT to consider
       type 99 that fundamental was based on WG concerns regarding
       its impact on DNS.

You have ignored this point and the only reason to even reference M A
R I D, is we are forgetting all the wrong done to even thing about
ideas like type 99.

Please stop using threats of excommunications when ignorance is quite
clear on these
critical points.  Rather than ignore it, address it.  Its not my fault
you prefer a position of ignoring input.

Ok, great! Now I think that should be the central debate because this 
idea of using "Who's Who" is a terrible rat smelling imposition on 
others that don't agree.  Especially if they are not on the "Who's 
Who" list!

If type 99 was originally a bad idea, then it would be a more 
plausible reason to get rid of it.   But if you are following input 
from Patrick on the IETF list, and RFC 5507, I agree with it, a 
decision to abandon it is not only premature, based on subjective 
isolated input.

Again I was all ready to to abandon it, until the evidence has shown 
the that OLD GROUP engineering and migration path thinking was 100% on 
par - to negate this is really an odd thing.

Fine, but it has to be decided at some point and I hope it doesn't 
fall trap to a final situation like in DKIM where people started to 
say about the charted delivery goal for ADSP,  - "We are tired, just 
forgot about and let someone else worry about it"

If that is what you hope, you might just get it.

Hi Dave,

There appears to be a wide variety of opinion about Issue 
#9.  Moreover, the discussion has revealed an interoperability 
concern in the existing RFC.  It seems additional discussion is going 
to be needed to determine what to do about that interoperability 
concern, and therefore we cannot conclude anything right now.  We are 
therefore suspending discussion for the moment on Issue #9.

Regards,
Andrew Sullivan & S. Moonesamy, SPFBIS WG Chairs

Thanks for the clarification.  Next topic, please.  :-)

It's out of scope.  SUBMITTER is a Sender ID concept unrelated to SPF.  The 
only purpose SUBMITTER serves is to give an advance look at PRA prior to going 
to DATA.  It's inextricably linked to Sender ID and has no purpose in an SPF 
context.

While there are no doubt proprietary systems that support SUBMITTER, AFAIK 
there's no open source implementation which suggests to me that the interest 
in it was very narrow in any case.

+1.  So sayeth the charter:

	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.

Adding SUBMITTER as an optional parameter to check_host() falls within none=
 of those clauses.

(The SUBMITTER data we have so far is, however, important to the eventual "=
conclusion of the experiment" discussion we need to have.)

Enable the SUBMITTER SMTP extension in your SMTP server and there is 
clear evidence of wide client support.

To integrators, when both identities are presented and both are 
different, a query is done either 5321.MAILFROM done and/or for 
5321.MAILFROM SUBMITTER domain.

Actions possible in SPF-BIS:

1) Provide semantics for clients to IGNORE SUBMITTER domains presented.

2) Provide logic to described how to handle it when they are different.

If #1 is chosen, then the fate of the 4405/4406 protocols has been 
predetermined for abandonment.  If abandonment is the charter goal, 
then #1 or nothing needs be stated which the latter leaving it 
ambiguous form for system integrators of both protocols.

In other words, if there is a possibility 4405/4406 is not going to be 
abandoned, then SPF-BIS has a clear role to consider it.

The cache contains about 450k domains based on their sending volume and a f=
ew other criteria. It is refreshed every 24 hours. It doesn't strictly mirr=
or DNS; records are stored fully expanded (e.g. A & MX are converted to ip4=
), and some information is dropped - e.g. spf2.0/mfrom, macros, PTR, etc.

Does that help?

Note that the cache is being replaced with live DNS by the end of March.

That sample size might be enough to avoid seeing any instances.  The active=
 polling I'm doing has checked 29088 domains so far and found only 29 type =
99 records, so as luck would have it your ratio is approximately such that =
one more might've found a single hit.  :-)

Can you characterize the cache at all in terms of size or duration caps?  O=
r is it basically a DNS cache?

+1, SPF already has two identities --mfrom and helo-- that may
complement one another.  (By analogy, DKIM has SDID and AUID.)

SIDF/SUBMITTER offered the 3rd identity - PRA.   I don't see it as out 
of scope if the charter includes consideration for the fate of 
4405/4406/4407.

FYI, I found this section on Google Book "Microsoft Exchange Server 
2010 Unleashed"

http://books.google.com/books?id=8VC9LKT4rrwC&pg=PT501&lpg=PT501&ots=z3jeJ1ltR5&dq=SMTP+Servers+supporting+RFC+4405

     SPF only need three piece of information to work:

     o The domain in the From address in the message headers
     o The purported IP address of the email server that sent the message
     o The HELO or EHLO parameter of the server that sent the message

This is pretty wide spread.

SM,

Thanks for the followup.  I should note that my message was really meant to do 
two different things.  One was the process concern, which you've resolved.

Of course the deeper issue is getting adequate wg discussion and consensus about 
this part of SPF.

The sequence of brief assertions that my note contained are meant to assert 
specific objective facts and link them in a way that produces a conclusion.

The form of that was/is meant to get reactions to each piece, in the hope that 
that could be more tractable to resolve discrete questions of fact.

For example, I asserted the simple (and intentionally simplistic) view that the 
RR is unused.  Absent data about segmented demographics or indications of wider 
use, I view a usage level of (at best) 1%, with no added functional benefit, to 
be pragmtically equivalent to "unused".

I chose not to add qualifiers, such as "effectively unused", primarily to 
require those who see things differently to argue for the details they see 
differently.

I'm still hoping that this is pursued.

It seems to me that Andrew has the reasonable analysis of the situation 
here.

It seems that some of the disfunction that surrounded the initial work 
in this area has persisted. That is really unfortunate. Reading the 
discussion brings to mind the disfunction of the usenet WG. It would be 
good to avoid that.

I was not a participant in the earlier work but I did have some private 
discussion with some folks about the overloading to the TXT record. I 
think it was a bad idea then and still is. Having a record like the TXT 
record that has no defined proptocol function was a good idea on the 
part of the designers of the DNS.

Back in the dark past there were suggestions about how to use the TXT 
record for keeping useful information about the network in the DNS. I 
used it for that kind of thing in the network I managed. I wouldn't do 
it in that way in today's Internet, but that is another discussion. 
There are people that still use the TXT record for that purpose today.

My understanding of why it was used as it was had three parts. It was 
hard to get a new RRTYPE requiring lots of effort and delay. Some 
servers in use curled up and died when they encountered a "unknown" 
record type. And folks wanted to get on with using spf right away.

If one was starting out with the design of spf today it might use a 
different approach for the function that the SPF RR and the specially 
designed TXT RR fill. But we need to deal with the way things are now.

The change to add submitter to check_hosts is, in itself, obviously bogus since it adds a term that is not defined or used anywhere else in the document.   Clearly, to make a useful change, more work on RFC 4408-bis would have to be done.

It isn't clear at all to me what exactly Hector wants with this change.   I suspect it would be clearer if Hector would give us a (very rough) draft of all the changes to the document that he sees to be related to this.

As far as the previous submitter RFCs being obsoleted or whatever, I don't see how that affects anyone using the submitter option.   You don't need RFCs to add SMTP options, anyone can create them.

but we aren't.

the issue today is not what should have been or what was/is a good or bad idea.

the constraints imposed by the charter are quite clear.

Too much hand waving debates, not enough data.

Again,the measurement factory's surveys give some information:

Note, these percentages appear to be of domains that responded to them
2006-08 5% have TXT SPF, 0 (not just 0% rounded) have type 99 SPF
2007-10 12.5% of working zones have TXT SPF, 46 (0.0022%) have type 99 SPF
2008-10 16.72% have some form of SPF record, the type was not broken down
2009-10 12.0% have TXT, 0.2% have SPF
2010-10 15.9% have TXT, 0.4% have SPF

in http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00617.html
a preliminary survey of 1000 domains randomly chosen from Hotmail's SPF record cache does not find a single DNS type 99 record.

I seem to recall other stats posted, but I could not find them easily.

The measurement factory surveys change quite a bit from year to year in what they choose to look at, and the results bounce around a lot more than I would expect.   This might be explained by differences in methodology that I didn't notice, or that the random set of domain names resulted in a larger margin of error than I would expect.

In any case, the measurement factory's results show that type 99 records are a couple of percent of the TXT records.   If the results people are seeing now are only 1% or less, that gives evidence that deployment of type 99 records may be decreasing.  Or, maybe the people who publish type 99 records aren't really active in email and show up in great numbers of random domains than random emails.  No matter what, I can't see any evidence that the percentage of type 99 records is making enough of an increase to close the gap in the next several decades.

Responding directly:

I'm a bit chagrined that I missed the basic interoperability flaw in the spec.

However identifying it will probably require that the wg be more clear about 
basic requirements for interoperability.  I'm hoping that that helps us make the 
details simpler.

In any event, thanks for the followup.

Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on 02/26/2012 03:31 AM, Scott
Kitterman would write:
> The reason some domains publish Type SPF only is that RFC 4408 gives them absolutely no hint that's a bad idea.  For 4408bis we should be honest and provide realistic guidance.

Why is it a bad idea? 

1) We've established that most clients query for SPF, so you don't lose
much by not publishing TXT. 
2) You simplify administration because you don't have to keep the two
records in sync. 
3) And you satisfy all those SPF queries instead of wasting them, saving
bandwidth. 

At this point, publishing SPF RR only is a *good* idea!  (And I was
planning to do so as soon as I upgrade my name server platform to RHEL6
- currently I use a script to generate TYPE99 syntax from TXT for older
bind). 

It is only this year that publishing SPF RR became convenient for RHEL
and clones!  Hector tells us that MS platforms have only recently
migrated to DNS 5 which can easily support the SPF RR.   The clients are
on board - the server side was slow in coming, but is now on ready.  It
would truly be a shame to tell people to just forget about it.  It would
be tragic if the SPF RR was then *still* not ready for SPFng as a result.

As long as there are clients that don't query for Type SPF (and there are) 
your record gets less exposure in Type SPF than Type TXT.  That is a bad 
thing.

I think using TXT only for v=spf1 and using Type SPF only for some future 
incompatible update makes perfect sense.  For this new future version, now 
that we've spent half a decade laying the groundwork, there would be 
relatively few (compared to 2005/2006) deployment barriers and with no pre-
existing mass of Type TXT records no need to support both.

I don't propose getting rid of the type, just making it SHOULD NOT publish and 
SHOULD NOT check for v=spf1.

+1.

And, if this all makes sense to the rest of the list, it actually solves 
the apparently dicey problem of getting rid of or not getting rid of the 
SPF RR rather nicely - especially with John Levine's MAY publish suggestion.

Essentially, it puts SPF RR into a kind of stasis, leaving the lives or 
retires call to the future rather than an absolutely something that 
needs addressing in the SPFbis today.

Hello,

I'll attempt to summarize the discussion of Issue #1.  If I 
misinterpreted or misunderstood your comments, please let me know.

Murray S. Kucherawy mentioned not knowing whether the (SERVFAIL) 
error is transient (resources, perhaps) or one that does indeed 
require operator intervention [1].

Andrew Sullivan, as a participant, agrees that RCODE=2 is not a 
permanent error in the DNS [2].  Hector Santos agreed with Andrew Sullivan [3]

Scott Kitterman mentioned that he would like to allow (but not 
require) receivers to track SERVFAIL  based temperrors and if they 
persist for more than $PERIOD (let's start the bidding at 24 hours) 
then future consectutive SERVFAIL responses for that domain MAY be 
considered permanent errors [4].  He also mentioned that until this 
discussion, I thought the solution was treating SERVFAIL as a 
permanent error, but now I see that isn't a good idea, so I proposed 
this as a conceptually straightforward (if someone complex to 
implement) method for solving the problem [5].

The issue was open based on the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00259.html  My 
opinion is that we can come to an intermediate conclusion on this 
issue based on what we know at this point in time.  I will read the 
entire messages (some of them are not referenced in this message) 
posted about Issue #1 again and any feedback you provide before 
discussing the question with my co-chair and reaching a 
conclusion.  Any conclusion is intermediate in the sense that the 
working group will be asked to comment on the WG drafts listed as 
deliverables and there will be ample opportunity to review the conclusion.

I have been asked what "Hold for document update" means.  The working 
group does not have any WG draft up for discussion yet.  When there 
is a WG draft, the working group can discuss about the exact text 
that goes into it.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

Your summary seems right to me.  I would also point out that this is probab=
ly going to be at best a MAY, and also suggest we include a reference to th=
e Happy Eyeballs draft out of the v6ops WG because they proposed something =
similar to what Scott suggested, and it's in the RFC Editor queue now, so i=
t appears to have precedent for not being a completely crazy idea.

This is not in RFC 4408, so it's only in scope if it's widely deployed. If we are going to consider it in scope, there should be some evidence of widespread use.

Personally, I think the most we should do is say MUST NOT (we can't stop people from doing so, but we can make it clear it's wrong to call a best guess result an SPF result).

The question of "widely deployed" is as interesting as the question of whet=
her something is "used" if only clients query for it.  Does Gmail doing Bes=
t Guess SPF count as widespread use because of the percentage of global ema=
il traffic they receive, or only count as a single implementation?

I agree with HFDU.  I haven't formed an opinion on what we should say about=
 it yet, but I think we should say something about it either way.

Just FYI, it wasn't left out of RFC 4408 by accident. It was considered too crazy a concept for standardization. I'm not sure what that suggests for 4408bis.

Fair enough.

I think the charter allows addition of pedagogy based on experience.  There=
's this thing out there that's document in several places now (JFGI) which =
might leave some readers wondering if it's a good idea or not.  This is an =
opportunity to say something about it one way or another.  Unless we want t=
o make a normative statement that it's a bad idea, an informative appendix =
that actually writes down what the pre-IETF people felt about it, along wit=
h some anecdotal experience from parties that tried, would be just fine wit=
h me.

Both the "How many implementations?" and "How much exercise does it get?" a=
re interesting.  It amounts to a depth vs. breadth argument in my view.  Bu=
t I think sometimes it can be more general: Just look at how much input div=
ersity there is, regardless of how many installations there are.

In the case of a domain authentication technology like SPF, I think the mor=
e salient question is "How many domains has it checked?"  I can't see much =
of a difference between, say, a thousand sites each evaluating a single dom=
ain versus one site that checks a thousand domains.

So even if only Gmail implements Best Guess SPF, I would call that widely d=
eployed, because it sees enough of a diversity of inbound mail to make mean=
ingful observations about its efficacy.

Also, Best Guess SPF is not itself a protocol; it's more of an applicabilit=
y statement of SPF.

This strikes me as an impressively dangerous feature.

At a minimum, we should see a specification for it, rather than discuss it 
merely as an idea.

My guess is that this has narrow application and currently very limited 
deployment, at best.

We could also include that text or something similar, just so everyone know=

I think that the result from the 'best guess SPF record' evaluation=20

My Opinion.

Widely deployed doesn't correlate to the idea of success if its 
purpose has shown to be of low value, shown to have little to no 
payoff, perhaps complex, expensive to implement, comes with with list 
of other compliancy dependencies, etc. It could just be a marketing 
value at this point. Some may validly suggest Widely Deployed is good 
because it has a trickle down effect and realized benefit for all once 
others begin to "follow the leaders."  Some may argue DKIM falls in 
that category where high investments has yet to materialize or trickle 
down with a payoff.

I prefer to see worth, show the What it is, how it works and why this 
Best Guess has a value to be considered as a new SPF consideration.

I can see it perhaps as just another test data point factor (i.e, 
Sender and purported MX Receiver live in the same ADMD or computer 
box) as input to some external antispam evaluator or algorithm, but 
don't see that an enforcible concept since there is no SMTP 
requirement for the sender and receivers be part of the same ADMD or 
computer box.

As it relates to Google, in lieu of any information in how they use 
it, I can clearly see it as part of Google's BI to see what the 
patterns of sender/receivers operations and network connectivity 
associations are - the "Google World Mail Connectivity Map" perhaps. 
I would consider it strategic business intelligence data banking.

But then again, it could be another AVS secret formula.  Explain it.

I personally don't think it should included in SPF-BIF, but like to 
know more above the Sender/Receiver, same box/owner network data point.

I wouldn't disagree.  Also, if we do an AS, discussion of it might better
go in there.

It might be useful, but it's not SPF.

Another possibility would be a separate informational document
called something like heuristic mail sender validation.

I feel that any discussion of "best-guess" is out of scope.    The machinery of SPF can be fed a variety of data and it will return a variety of answers, but these are not SPF, they are extensions.   Trying to document "best-guess" or "sender-id" in RFC 4408 would be like requiring the DNS RFCs to talk about DNSBL or SPF usage of the DNS machinery.  I agree with John Levine, the proper place, if any,to discuss "best-guess" is in another RFC, or in the documentation of implementations, or a website somewhere.

That's outside the current charter, but I'd be amenable to working on that =

I have been asked what "Hold for document update" means.  The working 
group does not have any WG draft up for discussion yet.  When there 
is a WG draft, the working group can discuss about the exact text 
that goes into it.
