Just to confirm and inform the WG, the SPF-BIS WG charter concluding 
paragraph would be incorrect and the cited 4408bis draft is out of scope?

     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.

How is that different than the issues we're discussing now? Is that the issue isn't expected to be controversial?

It says the working group may. For reasons that aren't clear to me, the working group hasn't even discussed it yet. Nothing wrong with the charter.

Hello,

The SPFBIS WG Charter mentions the topics which are in scope or out 
of scope ( https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/spfbis/charter/ ).  A 
discussion about a topic can be off-topic for the moment although the 
topic itself is in scope.

Discussions about any non-WG draft is off-topic for the moment.  The 
draft mentioned in the charter is not a working group draft.  Drafts 
which are SPFBIS working group drafts will have a filename which 
starts with "draft-ietf-spfbis-".

The following issues are currently the being discussed:

  #1  http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00538.html
  #4  http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00694.html
  #13 http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00715.html
  #17 http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00718.html
  #19 http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00716.html
  #23 http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00717.html

A thread was also opened in case the WG would like to comment on 
"widely deployed" ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00725.html ).

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
SPFBIS WG co-chair

I am confused.

We've been discussing Murray's draft about concluding the 'experiment' and it's not, AFAIK, a working group document either.

Is it off topic now too?

Dear colleagues,

We have received a request to adopt draft-kucherawy-spfbis-experiment
as a WG draft, to be used as the basis for declaring the SPF
experiment finished.

The chairs have read the draft and believe it is a good basis for the
WG's deliverable.  That is not to say that the chairs agree with
everything in it, nor to suggest that the draft as it stands is
acceptable to the WG.  

We would like to adopt the draft as a WG document.  We would like
indications of participants' views about that.  We require evidence
that the WG will in fact work on this draft, and therefore would like
at least five participants' commitment that they will work on the
draft.  Substantive comments on the draft itself will be counted as
commitment to working on the draft as a WG document.

If you object to adoption of the draft, please state both why you
object and what your alternative proposal for completion of our first
milestone is.  Objections without an alternative proposal will be
regarded with scepticism.  Please remember that disagreeing with some
particular claim in the draft is not a good reason to object to
adopting the draft: the draft will probably need to be modified in
order to reflect WG consensus.  It is only an objection that the draft
is by its nature unsuitable -- it covers entirely the wrong topics,
for instance -- that has any force in the absence of an alternative
adoption candidate.

If the WG adopts the draft, we expect to appoint Murray as editor
assuming that he is amenable and has time.  Assuming we hear no
reasonable objections, we will adopt the draft once the -00 queue
re-opens during the Paris IETF meeting.  If there is a reasonable
objection and an alternative -00 draft is ready when the queue
re-opens, we will consider the alternatives at that point; if no -00
alternative is available at the time the queue re-opens, we will take
that as evidence of uninterest in proposing a real alternative, and
proceed with adoption of draft-kucherawy-spfbis-experiment.

Best regards,

SM & AS (as chairs)

Yes, and yes.  Do I count as one of the five?  :-)

I don't object.  I have contributed and expect to do so.

I am confused about the process.  Is lack of such a request we haven't looked 
into adopting an RFC 4408bis draft?  Why five?

No, it isn't.  You may recall that we originally asked for reviews of
4408 (which has turned into a list of issues).  The adoption of a
4408bis starting point will come once we have sorted out whether some
of the issues are real issues or not.  Please be patient.

> Why five?

It's an arbitrary number, large enough to suggest that there is
meaningful participation and yet small enough that if people wander
off we're still likely to have enough reviewers to indicate real
consensus. 

Best,

While it is extremely overwhelming to see a single person take control 
of some many of the documented and related in form or another 
documents, which begins to alter the engineering insights and sense of 
cooperative competition, its not much of an bigger issue than to major 
conflict of interest issue being exhibited by including the concepts 
of using DKIM, AUTH-RES into SPF and also use DKIM to determine the 
faith of SENDER-ID, SUBMITTER.

I can walk away from all this and have complete faith on my 
engineering peers to do the common sense engineering.  But when its 
obvious done for a purpose that is very questionable, then it really 
leaves people with a bitter pill to swallow and an empathetic recourse 
when the WGC have a predisposition to filter discontent.

Just consider the charter did have an document for review 
consideration. What was it not use as the basis to be fune tuned with 
all the same expected pros and cons, you say CAN HAPPEN for murray's 
document as well, but we all know is likely to be the case to occur 
because you can control the opposition.

That said, I don't really care if Murray is the editor, wish he was 
more open minded, but I don't care as long as SPF-BIS is not used as a 
leverage to alter its fundamental design, replaced Received-SPF with 
AUTH-RES, make it less deterministic, and use DKIM to replaced 
SENDER-ID and eliminate SUBMITTER.

Since when did the IETF get involved in the Product Support business?

Don't worry Mr Sullivan. No need to issue more threats. I'm about to 
drop out of this SPF-BIS I knew from its beginning will be infested 
with fleas. I see it becoming another DKIM WG of isolated conflict of 
interest - after all, its the same group of people, and now the SAME 
EDITOR.

As I already mentioned in my note to Scott, that document will come up
in the future.  The present issue is whether to adopt the proposed
document in order to settle the question of the SPF/Sender-ID
experiment.  This is our first milestone:

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

Best regards,

A

ns of participants' views about that.  We require evidence that the WG will=
 in fact work on this draft, and therefore would like at least five partici=
pants' commitment that they will work on the draft.  Substantive comments o=
n the draft itself will be counted as commitment to working on the draft as=
 a WG document.

If you object to adoption of the draft, please state both why you object an=
d what your alternative proposal for completion of our first milestone is. =
 Objections without an alternative proposal will be regarded with scepticis=
m.  Please remember that disagreeing with some particular claim in the draf=
t is not a good reason to object to adopting the draft: the draft will prob=
ably need to be modified in order to reflect WG consensus.  It is only an o=
bjection that the draft is by its nature unsuitable -- it covers entirely t=

ternative adoption candidate.

If the WG adopts the draft, we expect to appoint Murray as editor assuming =
that he is amenable and has time.  Assuming we hear no reasonable objection=

F meeting.  If there is a reasonable objection and an alternative -00 draft=
 is ready when the queue re-opens, we will consider the alternatives at tha=

 we will take that as evidence of uninterest in proposing a real alternativ=

Alessandro, I believe the chairs and ADs understand my position about 
Murray, at least I hope they do.  You may be surprise.

But overall, this may help, at the 2nd ever ISP Trade conference 
(OneBBS CON, before Phil Becker and Boardwatch Magazine sold it and it 
was renamed to OneISP Con), I presented a paper to a pack room crowd 
on the concept of

            Cooperative Competition or CoComp

which mean something to veterans of the mixed industry of standards, 
formats, adoption and strategic needs to converge, provide added-value 
yet not be used as a leverage against competition and especially the 
lower end (small to mid) of the market place.

IETF is more of a Project R&D and less than a Product R&D environment, 
and the latter is becoming more of a concern.  One can not use the 
tools of the IETF to put weight on implementators to move in an 
unclear and costly directions and I firmly believe we most of us 
believe that (otherwise I would be here), but yet at the same time, 
isolation and "Rough Consensus" is used to negate the Technical Merits 
concerns when warranted.

Its not that I don't agree with the ideas of convergence and 
integration because in fact, SSI near 30 years existence in the market 
place, excels in it. Its what we long practice in our product lines 
with the integration of many technologies and protocols since the 80s. 
Our motto is "Providing tomorrow technologies... today."

I recognize the issues and I am only providing input hoping it can 
reduce the "Out of the Gate" friction to make SPF-BIF a wild success. 
  I provided an offlist suggestion of perhaps having an I-D 
"Deployment Guide" for SPF, SIDF and maybe perhaps use it to introduce 
DKIM and AUTH-RES.

But to have a WG document that clearly had one goal to basically try 
to overwhelm and convince you to alter your course, well, I have a 
fundamental and ethical "Cooperative Competition" problem with that, 
not just for SSI, but for everyone that is not represented in this WG.

I have a half glass full approach to problem solver and firmly believe 
we ALL can have our cake and eat it too. But it will not work when 
conflict of interest overwhelm everything else.

I don't wish to say any more or feel I need to go any further.

Dear Mr Santos,

We have read the first message you posted to the SPFBIS working group 
mailing list on March 5, 2012 ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00751.html 
).  As SPFBIS Working Group Chairs, we are extremely concerned about 
the content of that message and your second message ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00756.html 
).  Could you please provide us with an explanation about:

  (a) the "threats" you are referring to in the first message?

  (b) the "conflict of interest" you are referring to in the
      first message and in the second message?

Regards,
Andrew Sullivan & S. Moonesamy, SPFBIS WG Chairs

I don't believe it is of value to repeat what was ready stated to you 
and AS offlist.  In this "first message" it is filled with explicit 
statements of preemption of what is considered constructive or not.

>  (b) the "conflict of interest" you are referring to in the

What is vexing to me is why it appears to be a burden or need to 
repeatedly restate the concerns on-list or off-list?  I tried a new 
approach with the "Cooperative Competitive" statement in this 2nd 
message.  I really don't know how else it can stated.

Maybe this layman video on Pareto Optimality may help. Just substitute 
iPAD or Pecan Pies with the IETF Product trying to be produced here in 
IETF SPF-BIS:

         http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCuI-2LI6-M

Point #1:

    A situation is efficient if no change is possible that
    will help some people without harming others.

Point #2:

    Point #1 is only half the reality, requiring you to see
    the video because I can not see how else the issue can be stated.

TIP: As you view the video, replace iPAD or PIES with an IETF "Product 
Line."

If that doesn't do it, then nothing else will.

I have read Andrew's messages.  What he has been trying to do is to 
provide fair notice.  Could we please avoid such comments in future?

Andrew and I are here to ensure that your technical comments, as any 
other WG participant, is given due consideration.  This is not based 
on four out of five comments.

There will be a Working Group Last Call on all the drafts before they 
are submitted to the IESG.  There will also be an IETF Last Call.  If 
anyone considers that the working group made an incorrect decision, 
the person can raise the issues so that they are given due 
consideration.  The comments submitted during an IETF Last Call are 
evaluated by the IESG.

If you have any concern, please contact us at spfbis-chairs@tools.ietf.org.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

Did you go again!  But fair enough. I also suggest to not ask a direct
question in public to me designed to put me in the defensive when in
fact, you already knew the answer.

Right, this is part of issue. The concerns has been stated, the
outcome predetermined, the conflicts are obvious and this simply says
to just puts it aside and its almost guaranteed to exclude the
original concerns come LC. It leaves one in a very dead horse position
with only one recourse - IETF Appeal which ironically I already been
told "Don't bother!"

So that said, I'm giving up. I don't need to support whatever SPF-BIF
changes anyway. This is another DKIM situation, its all about DKIM,
not SPF. It was really never about SPF. I already have a few off-list
friendly wagers which I hope I would lose, but I doubt it.

There is only way I see this being successful, change the charter to
make explicitly out of scope:

    - DKIM
    - AUTH-RES
    - USING DKIM TO EVALUATE SENDER-ID/SUBMITTER FATE.

Anyway the good news, I'm subscribing off this DKIM-SPF-BIS list. That
should help drive it consensus by Osmosis.

   ... or an interest of conflict???

   ;^)

   BTW, I will definitely comment once it's a WG draft. (Whether that
will be "contributing" may be in the eye of the beholder...)

Just realized that I was so focused on being clever, that I forgot to add my 
unconflicted votes in favor of adopting the draft and assigning Murray as the 
editor for it.

Since we're being snarky today ...

I thought the IETF didn't vote?

The "exists" mechanism is designed to test for the existence of a DNS 
record. I do not believe that DNS errors should be counted for this 
mechanism. The number of "exists" mechanisms that can be invoked is 
small, so there doesn't appear to be a risk here.

This is an interesting idea.  As I mentioned when this was suggested, this is 
already implemented in Mail::SPF max_void_dns_lookups.  From the Mail::SPF 
documentation:

This proposal may affect currently published and RFC 4408 compliant records as 
it is silent on this type of limitation.  I suspect, however, that for an 
appropriate value as the limit, this type of limit could be added to 4408bis 
without affecting interoperability.

In order to determine this, we'll need a survey of records to get a 
distribution of the number of void DNS lookups in SPF records.  I'm not sure 
how much we can do with the issue until we have data.

It's either that or count it and you've effectively limited the number of 
exists mechanisms in one SPF record to ~whatever limit we set.  Since exists 
is rarely used and rarely included, I think it would be OK to limit it to a 
few per record.  OTOH, exists can't provoke further lookups, so it should be 
OK not to count.

I think either approach would be OK (assuming we get a good survey that 
determines this type of limit is OK in general).  It's probably marginally 
simpler to conceptualize not counting exists for users crafting records.  It's 
probably marginally easier to implement counting all no data results than all 
but exists.  Tossup.

Since there's a lot more people writing SPF records than writing SPF 
libraries, I think I agree with you.

Hello,

I'll attempt to summarize the discussion of Issue #1. If I 
misinterpreted or misunderstood your comments, please let me 
know.   The issue was based on the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00279.html

Scott Kitterman mentioned that it is out of scope and that SUBMITTER 
is a Sender ID concept unrelated to SPF [1].  Murray Kucherawy 
commented on adding SUBMITTER as an optional parameter to 
check_host() falls within none of those clauses of the charter 
[2].  Dotzero agreed that it should be considered out of scope [3].

Hector Santos mentioned that "enable the SUBMITTER SMTP extension in 
your SMTP server and there is clear evidence of wide client 
support".  He also mentioned that if there is a possibility 4405/4406 
is not going to be abandoned, then SPF-BIS has a clear role to consider it [4].

John Levine commented on it being a terrible idea [5].  Rolf 
Sonneveld commented that it was out of scope [6].  Alessandro Vesely 
mentioned that SPF already has two identities --mfrom and helo-- that 
maycomplement one another [7].  Hector Santos mentioned that 
SIDF/SUBMITTER offered the 3rd identity - PRA; he doesn't see it as 
out of scope if the charter includes consideration for the fate of 
4405/4406/4407 [8].

Arthur Thisell mentioned that 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 [9].

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

   Doug is calling out a possible abuse situation, wherein an SPF record
can call for more than one DNS lookup to a domain quite unrelated to the
sending MTA.

   This deserves discussion on one of our RFCs -- I shall leave it for
others to argue which one...

   Be warned that "It hasn't happened yet" may not be a sufficient
discussion.

   The essential point, IMHO, is that any no-data response is a hint of
abuse; thus action to impose a limit on the rate of such queries after
a no-data response may be appropriate. Likewise, no-response may mean
that a DDoS is succeeding; and an even stricter limit might make sense.

   The other side of the argument is that these macros are _sometimes_
useful. We have seen them useful in gathering data on actual usage.
And there are situations in which different policies _must_ apply to
different local-parts.

   All this suggests to me that there may not _be_ a single limit which
makes sense.

   I suggest we consider "MAY" language here -- admitting that we can't
know how this issue might play out over the next decade. Instead of
trying for a maximum number of such queries, could we consider instead
what the _minimum_ might be to accomplish identified valid usage, and
specify MAY for any queries beyond that minimum?

I think that's a fair summary of what I said.  I'll add that in addition to 
being out of scope for this WG, I think it's a "really bad" idea anyway.

I think your summary is accurate.  I also suggest that the only two dissent=
ing opinions (from the same person) conflated the SUBMITTER issue as being =
in scope for the WG but out of scope for the RFC4408bis document.  It is po=
ssible for both to be true, as is the case now.

I'd rather have the limit set at 11 than saying which lookups don't
count.  No exception, just for the sake of clarity.  Redirect and
include count, don't they?  And the count is global, per call... but
that is ticket #6.

But what's puzzling me is the distinction between errors, no data,
cached responses, and similar.  Does it serve any practical purpose?

If at all possible, I'd avoid any exception, so that, given an SPF
record and the records recursively looked up via redirect and include,
it is possible to statically state whether it is valid or not.

I need some clarification on this issue before I can give an opinion.  Some=
one help me out here...

Is the issue that I could publish an SPF policy that causes queries to some=
one else's DNS as a means of an attack, and the proposed mitigation is to a=
bort the query if too many NOERROR replies with zero answers (which I think=
 is what people mean by "No Data") are received?

   I interpreted these comments the same way.

   IMHO, the issue can mostly be laid to rest. Even Hector didn't
think such a change to check_host() is in-charter.

   However, let us not forget that some (hopefully brief) review of
RFC 4405 in our "result-of-experiment" document is in-charter.

   (I was sort-of hoping to hear from Hector what benefit he imagined
from passing SUBMITTER to check_host(); but I doubt he could have
convinced me it's a good idea...)

I do indeed already have some treatment of the data Hector provided in the =
individual submission.  It will of course find its way into the working gro=
up version of the document.

Despite the rhetoric in the issue, I don't think any changes with regards to 
macros are being proposed here.  The only SPF mechanism that expects a nodata 
response in normal operations is exists: and I don't think there's a use case 
for multiple exists: per SPF record (except via include: or redirect=).

The basic theory is not new and a detailed assessment of it was done several 
years ago:

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

Fundamentally, there is no news here.  If someone intendend to do an 
amplification attack like the rhetorical part of this issue describes, there 
are easier ways to do it than an SPF record.

That said, the specific operational piece of the comment is implemented and in 
widespread use (Mail::SPF is the most used, AFAIK, open source SPF 
implementation), so I think it's reasonable to consider adding the void lookup 
limit in some form.

I believe that's correct.

I think the mitigation is weak, then.  It thwarts the attack scenario in wh=
ich I point my SPF record at some stuff in your domain that doesn't actuall=
y exist, but if I use "mx" or other mechanisms that do hit things that exis=
t, the attack isn't stopped.

So I'm fine with the idea of specifying NODATA cutoff limits, but it doesn'=
t cover the full threat space here, and we'll have to admit that in Securit=
y Considerations or suchlike.

Certainly.  To the extent there's a threat we'll need to document it.  This 
isn't news since all the processing limits in RFC 4408 are in security 
considerations.  We have another issue on splitting them out and making both 
the limits an dthe security considerations clearer.

Sorry, that was a typo.  I meant Issue #4.

I'll give a quick okay as long as it fits within the "conclusions" document.

I haven't discussed about what is in scope in relation to Issue #4 
with Andrew.  Arthur Thisell mentioned that SUBMITTER is not defined 
or used in RFC 4408.  There will be questions during the AD review if 
it is added in the second deliverable (4408bis).

> discussion.

This is true, Doug Otis promoting this attack for many years and yet nothing has happened.  This gives evidence that the threat of recursive nature of SPF evaluations causing the local recursive resolver to send too many queries to unrelated third parties may not be that useful.   Indeed, I have analyzed Doug's reports in the past and I found they miss a huge amount of work that the attacker has to do, thus greatly reducing the real amplification factor.

Recursion can be a problem, but notice that DNS uses recursive resolvers, and as William Leibzon pointed this out to this message to DNSOPS back in 2006: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop/current/msg04911.html 

As William explains, it is quite possible to generate larger amplification attacks using plain old DNS, in particular, the NS, MX, SRV, etc. records.   Unlike RFC 4408, the DNS RFCs don't have any limits on the recursion depth.   It is far easier for an attacker to trigger an NS lookup than it is to trigger an SPF evaluation.

You would think that if such attacks were useful, that in the many years that the NS record has been around, the easy of which it is to trigger an NS lookup, and the larger amplification than SPF, that it would have shown up.

Things like the "no data" limit are not complete fixes.  Domains that have wildcard MX records, for example, will return data.   Actually, someone being attacked can use this, by publishing wildcards, they can create a useful TTL time.   Or, the party being attacked can update their SOA record with a longer nTTL time.

This is a general problem with recursion and DNS.   The solution is likely to be best made in the resolver itself, maybe with an API extension letting the resolver know what certain DNS lookups are related.

I highly recommend going back an reading that thread from William to DNSOPS before charging off to find "solutions".

I don't much like this kind of thing since it would mean that two different SPF implementations/users could evaluate the same SPF record and give different results.   The goal of keeping SPF evaluations consistent is also why all syntax errors MUST be detected, and why you don't have to implement the check_host() function exactly as laid out in RFC 4408, but the results MUST be the same.

I'd prefer we didn't do it because it was not a technical valid approach than 
that the AD woud look at us funny if we did it because of the charter.

I've bounced this idea off a couple of people and so far it's been well-rec=
eived, so here I am, going for broke.  :-)

Given our deliberations over the type 99 issue that spilled into the main I=
ETF list talking about new RRtypes, provisioning systems, etc., I would lik=
e to suggest that we tell SPF's story with respect to these issues in the e=
xperiment document, as an appendix.  I don't have any specific text to sugg=
est yet, but I wanted to float the general idea here first.

We might cover topics like:

- we generally like the idea of doing dedicated RRtypes for specific work, =
however...
- SPF was first incubated outside the IETF, so it started off using TXT, an=
d there it has mostly stayed
- at the time, the road to getting a dedicated RRtype for experimentation w=
as steep and prickly
- DNS provisioning tools haven't kept up, and generally don't
- the text of RFC4408 didn't exactly encourage migration
- things might've gone "better" had these last four bullets not been true
- etc.

Comments?

As an adjunct to explaining the results of the spf experiment, I think 
it's valuable information. I'm ambivalent to whether it's in an appendix 
or just another section.

I suggested an appendix because it's technically off-topic in terms of the =

it's whatever we reasonably want it to be.

Seems like a very good idea to me.  Right now tge intent is probably more
important than the particular items covered, but "what went before" can be
important in fleshing out descriptions.

The choice of DNS record type isn't mainstream to the SPF story, in my view. 
Using the DNS for /a/ record is, but which of the two isn't.

In addition, the topic of DNS RR type has rather a lot of history in the 
community and it could distract the reader from what /is/ the SPF story.

So I suggest appendix is better. (I think that means I +1'd having the text in 
the document...)

Given the state of the art when RFC 4408 was published, the SHOULD publish 
Type SPF was advice in advance of the facts.  I think in fact it was far more 
encouraging that was technically justified at the time (that's where the MUST 
publish at least one type without specifying which comes from).  The major 
interoperability issue that's come up in this working group is precisely from 
RFC 4408 being too encouraging.

My fault for being imprecise.  I was referring specifically to the interope=
rability bug that's been identified, where neither side was guaranteed to p=
ublish or query type 99, so they might never actually communicate.  I think=
 the language thus ultimately encouraged both sides toward TXT, where the p=
re-IETF work was already firmly rooted anyway.

Regardless, I'm happy to just say something about this per WG consensus.  W=
e don't need to resolve this now, but it seems like we generally think this=
 is a good idea to include in the report, and that's good enough for the mo=
ment.

(I'm now observing in my DNS survey that there are also resolvers and/or fi=
rewalls that simply drop queries for unknown types; the TXT reply comes bac=
k right away, the SPF reply never comes.  We might want to mention that too=
.)

Section 5.4 of RFC 4408 says:

                                        To prevent Denial of Service
 (DoS) attacks, more than 10 MX names MUST NOT be looked up during the
 evaluation of an "mx" mechanism (see Section 10).

Section 10 says:

 SPF implementations MUST limit the number of mechanisms and modifiers
 that do DNS lookups to at most 10 per SPF check, including any
 lookups caused by the use of the "include" mechanism or the
 "redirect" modifier.  If this number is exceeded during a check, a
 PermError MUST be returned.  The "include", "a", "mx", "ptr", and
 "exists" mechanisms as well as the "redirect" modifier do count
 against this limit.

To me, "do count against this limit" means that for "v=spf1 +mx -all"
one has already spent two lookups for the record itself and the mx, so
the evaluation fails if the sending address belongs to the ninth
eXchanger or further down.  No 111 amplification.  What am I missing?

If spfbis is going to temporarily put type 99 aside, this topic
deserves a top-class explanation, IMHO.

Good catch, Aleessandro.   That "lookups" should be "mechanisms or modifiers".   Can anyone think of a shorter/better term for the unwieldy "mechanism and/or modifier"?

(sorry for the reply to myself, too early in the morning...)

The ABNF uses "terms" to describe mechanisms/modifiers, but I never liked that either, even for the ABNF.  I guess the term "terms" is used elsewhere in RFC 4408...

First, I don't think there's a lot of point in computing the maximum number of 
lookups possible.  As has been said elsewhere in the thread there are other, 
simpler, ways of doing an attack like this, so I while I do think we need to 
address the concern, I'm not worried about the specifics in great detail.

I do think we need to make sure the processing limits are worded in a way that 
is clear enough that everyone counts things the same way for a deterministic 
result.  Your "v=spf1 +mx -all" example and your counting is a good example of 
how people can easily get things wrong.

Look again at RFC 4408 10.1.  

"MUST limit the number of mechanisms and modifiers  that do DNS lookups to at 
most 10 per SPF check"

Your example only has one mechanism or modifier that does a DNS lookup (mx), so 
it counts as one, not two.  The language in 4408 10.1 is technically 
unambiguous, but hard to parse.  This is why I filed issue #6, RFC 4408 Section 
10.1 - Processing limits needs clarification and reorganization.  We can figure 
out how to rewrite it when we get to that issue, but I thought it worth 
mentioning is this thread as an example of why we need clearer words.

It's only used in one paragrah (4.6.1) outside the ABNF and I've never, ever 
heard anyone use it in discussing SPF (IIRC), so if there's a better 'term' to 
be using, it ought to be easy enough to replace.  I think we're reasonably 
safe from confusing people.

FWIW, I think mechanisms and modifiers is correct.  You always have to count 
both, but sometimes the quantity of one of them is zero.  and/or just makes it 
more uncertain.

Why?  It doesn't sound difficult to specify of implement.  I mean,
isn't it easier to say "you can do at most 111 lookups" than "you can
evaluate at most 10 terms worth 10 lookups each plus an exists as a
bonus"?

It may be clearer as:

  MUST limit the number of terms that do DNS lookups to at most 10
  /terms/ per SPF check

BTW, I don't think "term" is a bad term.

Sorry for conflating #6 and #24.  They really ought to be merged.

The 111 is a corner case.  Your reformulation makes it the standard case.  I 
don't think it's a good idea.

Could be, except then you have to go look up what a term is.  I don't feel 
strongly either way.

I don't think so.  They are related, but not the same.

AIUI, #6 is about refactoring the way the existing processing limits and 
security considerations and this is about adding a new limit on no data 
lookups.

I realize I'm very late in suggesting issues to be discussed, so I don't know  if the ADs will even consider my two possible issues.   Their ruling isn't that important to me because I don't think these are critical issues and I can live with them not being considered.   I'm breaking up the two issues into two posts for ease of threading...

The first issue:   Should the syntax checking of SPF records be relaxed at all?

The robustness principle says we should be conservative with what we send, but liberal with what we accept.   During the design of the SPF spec, it was considered to be very important that all receivers interpret the domain owner's policy the same way, so choices were taken such as requiring all syntax errors to be detected in all cases.  I'm not sure if that was the correct choice.

One of the things that Caller-ID for Email did right is that Microsoft recognized that you can unambiguously tell a domain name from an IPv4 address from an IPv6 address, so they had one data field for all of them.  With SPF, we have a: vs ip4: vs ip6:, and as a result, there used to be a lot of malformed SPF records with things like a:1.2.3.4, or ipv4:example.org.

Since it usually is possible to unambiguously determine the intent of the publishers, should we relax the syntax of SPF records so that you can put any kind of addressing in any of the a/ip mechanisms?   This would effectively make a:, ip4:, and ip6: aliases of each other, and the same processing would be done on all three.   Throw in the new aliases of ip:, ipv4: and ipv6:, and I think you could cover a lot of the malformed SPF records out in the wild.

Basically, I'm advocating that RFC4408bis say that domain owners MUST publish in the same format as specified in RFC4408, but implementations MAY choose to consider this extended syntax.   Later on, another WG might consider relaxing the MUST publish to a SHOULD publish, or making the aliases officially blessed.

Now, I haven't looked at an actual list of SPF records in several years, so I don't know if things have gotten better or worse.  I don't know what percentage of SPF records have syntax errors, nor what percentage of those  errors would be fixed by this change.  I'm not even sure if relaxing the syntax would be a good thing, but it is something I think is worth at least considering.

I realize I'm very late in suggesting issues to be discussed, so I don't know  if the ADs will even consider my two possible issues.   Their ruling isn't that important to me because I don't think these are critical issues and I can live with them not being considered.   I'm breaking up the two issues into two posts for ease of threading...

Second issue:  Should the ptr: mechanism and the %{p} macro be deprecated?

Already in RFC 4408, it says: 

   Note: Use of this mechanism is discouraged because it is slow, it is
   not as reliable as other mechanisms in cases of DNS errors, and it
   places a large burden on the arpa name servers.  If used, proper PTR
   records must be in place for the domain's hosts and the "ptr"
   mechanism should be one of the last mechanisms checked.

Microsoft wanted this to go away entirely, for these reasons.

This note in the RFC is terse, so let me lay out the case against these more fully.

Maybe things have changed dramatically while I've been asleep, but the in-addr.arpa namespace is a mess.  It is poorly maintained, to the point where in some countries, even ISPs can't get delegations for their IP addresses.  Queries to this name space often time out, and even when they give an answer, the answer is often bogus.

Now, with all the other mechanisms/modifiers, the publisher usually has a great deal of control over the nameservers referenced and the content that gets returned.   An mx: mechanism that isn't working right is likely going to cause a lot of other problems so it will be noticed and fixed.   The ptr:/%{p} stuff, on the other hand, is under the loose control of the sender, not the publisher.   If someone sends mail from a host within a bogus in-addr space, the receiver suffers with the timeouts.   The SPF publisher can get inconsistent results when faced with temporary nameserver problems, since error handling is different for ptr/%{p} than other mechanisms/modifiers.

I guess all I'm suggesting is that this note should be raised to a SHOULD NOT publish.   I wouldn't object to having it removed entirely though.

 My gut feel is that the frequency of these types of errors has been 
decreasing.  Since I maintain the openspf.net/org email test reflector, I've 
got the recent logs.  I checked the most recent just to get a sense of how 
frequent this is.  There were 56 permanent errors in the log (many were 
duplicates as people often send more than one test message without fixing 
anything).  Only one of them was in this catagory:

SPF Permanent Error: Invalid IP4 address: ip4:smptout.secuereserver.net

The vast majority of errors were including domains that didn't have SPF 
records or trivial recursion errors in include where they included themselves.

While I agree that, in principle, a:, ip4:, ip6: could have been combined, I 
think it would be a mistake to do so in 4408bis.  I think anything like such a 
change should be reserved for a future effort that does not have backwards 
compatibility as a goal.

There are implementations that do this sort of thing for private use (pyspf 
has a "relaxed" mode) and I think that for people who know what they are doing 
it's OK, but it should not be standardized.

Given the backward compatibility requirements in the charter (this feature is 
used), I don't think removal is in scope.  I think discussing making it a 
SHOULD NOT is a reasonable issue.

For a long time (they've changed it now), the Cisco SPF record was v=spf1 
ptr:cisco.com ~all.  Presumably they know how to make such things work.  There 
are certainly cases where it's just fine.

If I were designing from scratch today, I wouldn't included ptr: or %{p}, but 
we aren't.

A backward compatible change would be for ptr:/%{p} to always act as if there were network problems causing all DNS queries for this evaluation to be dropped.  This is a pretty common result anyway.   In effect, ptr: would never match and %{p} would always evaluate to "unknown".

I still lean toward moving the current note to the beginning of the ptr: description section and changing it to "SHOULD NOT publish", but I think we could effectively remove it if we wanted to.

I don't know what the ADs will say about it, but the chairs have been
clear that we will not rule out of scope issues that come up and that
meet the charter.  A technical issue is a technical issue, and we'll
deal with them as long as they're on-charter. There may, of course,
also be issues that would not be on charter, but that could be the
basis for future work.

No hat.  It's funny you should say that; there's currently a great
deal of gnashing of teeth over how you can do that.  How can you
unambiguously tell a domain name from an IPv4 address?  What if the
list of TLDs changes dramatically?

Best,

A domain name must have at least one ALPHA character in each label, an IPv4 address must have all numeric labels (in the range of 0-255), and an IPv6 address basically must have a colon.   This is all spelled out in the ABNF in RFC 4408 (see ip4-network, ip6-network and domain-spec).   Somewhere in the MARID posts, here is a regular expression that matches all valid SPF records.   The RFC 4408 ABNF is restricted enough that it can be run through ABNF->re converts.

If there are real issues distinguishing these, then it is likely that the RFC 4408 ABNF is wrong and needs to be fixed/clarified.

>The first issue:   Should the syntax checking of SPF records be relaxed at all?

Heck, no.  Implementations are always allowed to work around bugs if
they want to, but the best way to interoperate is to provide a clear spec
and encourage people to implement it correctly.

I suppose it would be mostly harmless to add an appendix noting common
errors and how not to make them, but I fear that some people would
insist on misreading it as if if's in the RFC it must be OK.

R's,
John

No, it wouldn't.  For people who use PTR and whose rDNS is set up
correctly (there is plenty of rDNS that works correctly), it would
break records that work now.

SHOULD NOT is fine.

No, wait.  I don't mean one /has/ to do all the lookups.  The limit is
meant to guard against an excessive number of lookups, whether
malicious or buggy.  As long as we believe that's not the norm, and
only happens in corner cases, a non-partitioned amount of lookups may
be more flexible and simpler than a structured limit devised to
prevent a particular attack only.

I'd be fine with a better term.  The point is, as Arthur noted, that
it has to be repeated twice in that sentence.

Except in case we find out that a better refactoring of processing
limits can cover the full threat space, making #24 moot.

This is interesting, and I hadn't put it together before.  I think
your argument isn't quite right, but I think you're nevertheless
correct that under RFC 4408 rules you _can_ unambiguously
differentiate these three different types of thing.  Phew.

For those who care about the argument:

RFC 1123 has some rules about host names (not, actually, domain names;
RFC 3696, which is the basis for section 8.1 in RFC 4408, is
informational, but 1123 assuredly isn't.  Confusion about host
vs. domain names is rampant, and I'm going to glide over it for now).
Depending on how you read it, RFC 1123 either makes a normative claim
that top-level labels in host names must be "alphabetic" (which in the
context means [a-zA-Z]) or else makes a statement about then-current
root zone policy.  There is an open dispute about which interpretation
of 1123 is right.

This turns out to be important because some time ago ICANN started
delegating DNS names from the root using IDNA.  Every one of those
labels starts with "xn--", which means that at the very least there
will be hyphens (non-alphabetic characters) in there; it works out
that digits are also possible.

This means that every one of those new TLDs will fail any strict SPF
checker if they're really doing what section 8.1 of 4408 says.

I may be misreading it, but I don't think 4408 requires an alphabetic
character in every label.  If it does, it's seriously broken.  While
RFC 952 required every label to start with an alphabetic character
(thereby ensuring that every label had at least one alphabetic
character), RFC 1123 explicitly relaxed this requirement, as the
DISCUSSION in section 2.1 makes clear:

           If a dotted-decimal number can be entered without such
           identifying delimiters, then a full syntactic check must be
           made, because a segment of a host domain name is now allowed
           to begin with a digit and could legally be entirely numeric
           (see Section 6.1.2.4).  However, a valid host name can never
           have the dotted-decimal form #.#.#.#, since at least the
           highest-level component label will be alphabetic.

(It's actually the "will be alphabetic" bit at the end of that
DISCUSSION that is the source of controversy.)

RFC 4408 does give us some reason for hope, however, and that it that
it also has rules about IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, which allow us to
distinguish even when, in general, we might not be able to.  (The
general problem is that IP addresses can appear in forms that are
_not_ the usual forms, but since there is a restriction on what an IP
address could be, we might be ok.)  

Unless I'm misreading it, RFC 4408 doesn't enforce the "must be
alphabetic" rule, but instead just requires an alphabetic at the
beginning of the label:

   toplabel         = ( *alphanum ALPHA *alphanum ) /
                      ( 1*alphanum "-" *( alphanum / "-" ) alphanum )
                      ; LDH rule plus additional TLD restrictions
                      ; (see [RFC3696], Section 2)
   alphanum         = ALPHA / DIGIT

So RFC 4408 is actually more relaxed than RFC 1123 (on the "strict"
reading), but that's a good thing because the actual root zone needs
it to be more relaxed.

Best,

A

The current survey does not, unfortunately.  I only noticed the pattern onc=
e it was well into its run.  I can, of course, add that check and re-run it=
.  But I'm not sure it matters that much to get numbers; observing that it =

The current rules are:

No more than 10 terms that need DNS lookups
No more than 10 a lookups from an mx mechanism
No more than 10 a lookups from a PTR mechanism.

So there is currently a primary limit of 10 and a secondary limit of 10 
lookups per primary of a certain type.

Is there any evidence that the primary limit of 10 is not adequate?  I am not 
aware of any.  Most of the largest email providers that exist have published 
records that fit within this limit.

Why would we want to change it?  Because we're changing the spec and it makes 
the spec clearer is not a good reason if it requires code to be re-written.  
Your proposal would.

As has been mentioned, one of the primary design principles in SPF was to 
produce a deterministic output based on a defined input.  If we change the 
current 1 + 10 + 10*10 limit to 111, then every SPF library that properly 
implements RFC 4408 10.1 would have to be changed.  

Based on that, I think the proposal is out of scope, but I also think it's a 
bad idea in any case.

This is a well-known problem, and was something people worried about
with DNSSEC.  See http://www.iis.se/docs/Routertester_en.pdf,
http://www.icann.org/committees/security/sac035.pdf, and RFC 5625.

This is being tracked as Issue #26.  There is also a ticket for the 
second issue that was raised today.

Could we defer the discussion on this issue until the thread is open?

Is that a suggestion that we shouldn't bother talking about it, or that we =
should and this is potential reference material?  I think this is interesti=
ng data resulting from our surveys, but I don't want to beat a dead horse i=
f we don't have anything new to contribute.

If I may stretch the metaphor...

I'd suggest that since people are still claiming new RR types are useful (Type SPF is hardly new anymore, but that only amplifies the point), the horse isn't dead and you ought to reload the shotgun.

in other words: document it, either by describing the problem in a few 
lines or adding a reference to the documents Andrew mentioned (or both),

I guess with my hat on, it would be useful to point to it and say,
"Here are some observations, possibly related to [references]."  For
the latter, I'd particularly encourage citing the proxy
recommendations, since they seem to be part of what's giving you
trouble.

I think having some hard numbers to point to is incredibly valuable.  
Something like "one bazillion domains were surveyed for published DNS records 
of Type TXT and Type SPF.  Of these, all but three successfully answered the 
request for Type TXT, and 12,427 did not answer the Type SPF request at all."  
A set of facts like that would give us a good basis for understanding the 
reliability and performance impacts of using Type SPF (and provide some more 
general lessons i think on the challanges with new RR deployment).

I would like to point out that 'MX' is the only problematic mechanism in 
a Doug Otis scenario.  PTR only needs to get looked up once per 
connection (and is then cached).  The MTA has probably already looked it 
up, so I don't think it should count at all (but I'm not recommending 
changing the rules for 4408bis).  'A' is a straightforward one lookup 
per mechanism.  'MX', on the other hand may require up to 10 additional 
'A' lookups.

To the extent any of this is actually problematic, I agree.

I am going to classify Issue #16 as "hold for document update" (it is 
better to discuss it when there is a 4480bis WG draft) .  If there 
are any objections, please post them to this mailing list.

Limiting the total number of DNS queries a single policy causes is a functi=
on of the domain publishing the policy, and the policies to which it points=
 (which may or may not be the same).

If for example I post a policy of "v=3Dspf1 mx -all", and then I advertise =
"n" MXes, and each of those have "m" IP addresses, that gives me m x n IP a=
ddresses to compare to the client address.  If that's arbitrarily truncated=
, by this specification, it can lead to false negatives and random message =
rejections.

I think there are two things to point out here in RFC4408bis (in the vein o=
f "I have not read your document but I have an opinion on it"):

1) An ADMD that wants to publish an SPF policy but already has a matrix of =
MX/A records that will be queried needs to understand the DNS load from SPF=
 verifiers that this will generate, and might want to consider some other a=
rrangement.

2) The same ADMD that declines to make any adjustment risks SPF false negat=
ives as described above.

I'm also a little troubled that, since the order of RRs in a reply can be r=
andomized, the place at which the set is truncated is not under the control=
 of the ADMD.  I know it's out of scope, but if we can't come up with a way=
 to alleviate that concern (which seems likely), we might -- after re-chart=
ering, of course -- consider a way to provide instruction to verifiers abou=
t how to truncate the list; for example, consider only MXes whose precedenc=
e is below/above/equal to some value.

What RFC 4408 doesn't say (it's left to the reader to infer from paragraph 
10.1) is if you have more than 10 mx records, don't use an mx mechanism in 
your SPF record.  We could be explicit about that.  There are ways around this 
problem that don't require protocol changes.

FWIW, I don't think anyone actually needs more than 10, they just haven't 
thought things through (Gmail only has 5, Yahoo has 3).  I don't think that 
4408bis has to accomodate every vaguery of ill considered design.  On the off 
chance one actually has more than 10, you can do it like this:

Imagine the following:

$ dig mx example.com +short

10 mx00.example.com
10 mx01.example.com
10 mx02.example.com
10 mx03.example.com
10 mx04.example.com
20 mx05.example.com
20 mx06.example.com
20 mx07.example.com
20 mx08.example.com
...
40 mx20.example.com

Instead of using mx in an SPF record, publish records for another unique 
hostname, e.g. mx.example.com, and a records from it pointint at all the 
various mx* IP addresses:

$ dig a mx.example.com +short

mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.2
mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.3
mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.4
mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.5
mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.6
mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.7
mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.8
...
mx.example.com     120     IN    A   192.0.2.22

Then you can use that in an SPF record like:

v=spf1 a:mx.example.com -all

That covers all the same IP space as:

v=spf1 mx -all (for example.com)

But it's only one DNS lookup.

There's really no reason to give any advice other than "If you have more than 
10, don't use mx/ptr".

I'd be quite happy if we included that sort of material to guide people abo=
ut the tradeoffs of various approaches.  I don't think the protocol needs t=
o be fixed to handle this stuff, but nuances like what we're talking about =
need to be highlighted.

There's still an attack that's at least worth calling out, but I don't part=
icularly care about MX/A set truncations causing false negatives in that ca=
se.

[. . .]

I'm not sure whether my hat is on or off for this, but that sounds to
me very much like deployment advice and not part of the protocol.  If
people want to produce such material, we ought to think very hard
about whether it belongs in a protocol draft or somewhere else.

Best,

True, that.

If putting this stuff in appendices is something we don't really want to do=
 (I could go either way), an Applicability Statement is certainly a feasibl=
e alternative.  It's not among our current chartered deliverables, but I'd =
be willing to argue for its addition.

Writing records that fit within the processing limits is an essential part of determinism of the protocol. Please let's not fork off part of what people need to know to do that into a separate document (that no one is chartered to write).

Hat on for sure now.  I agree with this.  I'm just trying to
distinguish between "parts of protocol" (which is definitely part of
what we have to do) and "advice to users".  "DNS response size limits"
fits in the former.  "How to set up your zone so it works reliably"
does not.

Here's what I had envisioned when I submitted this issue.

RFC 4408 paragraph 10.1 contains a mix of considerations and hard protocol 
requirements.  The protocol requirements should be moved up into the main part 
of the document from security considerations.  I would add the following facts 
(exact text there's no point in writing since we don't have a document to put 
it in - still) and whatever additional limits we determin are appropriate (irf 
any from the discussion of issue #24) into paragraph 4.6.  Either as part of a 
the main body of 4.6 or a new 4.6.1 that's before the current 4.6.1.

   SPF implementations MUST limit the number of mechanisms and modifiers
   that do DNS lookups to at most 10 per SPF check, including any
   lookups caused by the use of the "include" mechanism or the
   "redirect" modifier.  If this number is exceeded during a check, a
   PermError MUST be returned.  The "include", "a", "mx", "ptr", and
   "exists" mechanisms as well as the "redirect" modifier do count
   against this limit.  The "all", "ip4", and "ip6" mechanisms do not
   require DNS lookups and therefore do not count against this limit.
   The "exp" modifier does not count against this limit because the DNS
   lookup to fetch the explanation string occurs after the SPF record
   has been evaluated.

   When evaluating the "mx" and "ptr" mechanisms, or the %{p} macro,
   there MUST be a limit of no more than 10 MX or PTR RRs looked up and
   checked.

   MTAs or other processors MAY also impose a limit on the maximum
   amount of elapsed time to evaluate check_host().  Such a limit SHOULD
   allow at least 20 seconds.  If such a limit is exceeded, the result
   of authorization SHOULD be "TempError".

The balance of 10.1 I would leave in security considerations. Text and 
clarifications TBD until we have a draft.

That all seems reasonable to me, but we need to haggle about wording.  For =
example, the first paragraph's wording says more than ten can't be done.  T=
hat could be read as "pick your favourite ten" rather than "throw an error =
if there are more than ten".  The second paragraph seems to shift to talkin=
g about limiting the actual MX queries issued to the DNS, but isn't that th=
e same as the number of MX mechanisms in the previous paragraph, where "mx"=
 is excluded from the count?

But we can tackle later.

Agreed. No point in it before there's a draft.

Actually, gmail has considerably more than 5, but they only hand out five per
DNS answer.  Each of Yahoo's MXes has at least 8 A records.  But, of course,
neither publishes an SPF record with an MX clause.

Agreed.

In this case, I think it belongs in the protocol document, since it's
basically pointing out that something that you might think would work
if you read one part of the document in fact doesn't if you read the
rest of it.

In practice, anyone big enough to do rotating DNS for their mail
servers is going to have separate inbound and outbound servers, but
hypothetically assuming they got a really great deal on a warehouse
full of bidirectional Sendmail boxes, of course mail would be likely
to come from servers that don't show up in any particular DNS reply.

The general advice is that if you're using any clause that uses the
value of another DNS query, such as a, mx, include, ptr, exists, and
redirect, the results of that query better be consistent.

R's,
John

I'll attempt to summarize the discussion of Issue #24. If I 
misinterpreted or misunderstood your comments, please let me know. 
The issue was based on the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00501.html

Philip Gladstone commented that the number of "exists" mechanisms 
that can be invoked is small, so there doesn't appear to be a risk 
here [1].  Scott Kitterman pointed out the actionable part of the 
issue: this risk can be significantly mitigated by simply imposing 
reasonable No Data limits [2].  He also mentioned an implementation 
and suggested a survey of records to get a distribution of the number 
of void DNS lookups in SPF records.  He agreed [3] on the points 
mentioned in Philip Gladstone's message.

John Leslie mentioned that the issue is calling out a possible abuse 
situation, wherein an SPF record can call for more than one DNS 
lookup to a domain quite unrelated to the sending MTA and that it 
deserves discussion on one of our RFCs [4].  He also mentioned that 
the essential point is that any no-data response is a hint of abuse; 
thus action to impose a limit on the rate of such queries after a 
no-data response may be appropriate.

Murray Kucherawy asked for a clarification about the issue 
[5].  Scott Kitterman pointed to draft-otis-spf-dos-exploit-01 
[expired draft] and mentioned that there are easier ways to do an 
amplification attack [6].  Murray Kucherawy suggested NODATA cutoff 
limits in a security considerations section [7].

Arthur Thisell mentioned that it is quite possible to generate larger 
amplification attacks using plain old DNS, in particular, the NS, MX, 
SRV, etc. records.   Unlike RFC 4408, the DNS RFCs don't have any 
limits on the recursion depth.  It is far easier for an attacker to 
trigger an NS lookup than it is to trigger an SPF evaluation [8] and 
that things like the "no data" limit are not complete fixes.  He also 
mentioned in response to a previous message about "MAY" language 
would mean that two different SPF implementations/users could 
evaluate the same SPF record and give different results [9].

Alessandro Vesely quoted Section 5.4 of RFC 4408 and Section 10, and 
commented that he did not see amplification [attack].  Stuart Gathman 
pointed out that 'MX' is the only problematic mechanism in a Doug 
Otis scenario [10] and Scott Kitterman agreed.

There was a comment from Andrew Sullivan, as chair [11].

I read all the messages on this thread.  I left some out in this 
message.  It's difficult to come up with a rough summary of the 
discussion on Issue #24.

S. Moonesamy

I don't see how this would be confusing for anyone who is familiar
with the way that the DNS works.  It means you send off the two
queries, then wait and see what if anything comes back in response to
both of them.  It's a normal technique that's used in a lot of
situations other than SPF, and does not require special client
libraries, special servers, or special anything else.

This sort of relates to the type 99 discussion, since there's only one
query to be made, but we can fix that when we decide about type 99.

On the third hand, if an SPF record refers to other records via a, mx, include,
and so forth, it's entirely reasonable to make those queries in parallel, too.
We don't need to say anything about it, it's a normal optimization.

So my suggestion is to close this issue, keeping in mind that we may come back
and remove the section if we deprecate type 99.

R's,
John

I think it's a good summary and fairly captures my points.  The only important 
point from the thread that I recall (I didn't go reread all the messages) that 
isn't mention is someone (I think John Leslie) suggesting that "it hasn't 
happened yet" is not a sufficient argument to consider this risk is necessarily 
mitigated.

I think that absent data, we won't be able to come to a good decision on this 
issue.  The SPF record survey that Murray Kucherawy has in progress now (to 
help inform the Type TXT/Type SPF discussion) will give us a list SPF records 
that could serve as an input to the survey I suggested.

If, to pick an exemplary number, we determine that we could set the maximum 
number of void lookups to 5 and affect no currently deployed SPF records that 
we could find that are otherwise functional, then I think that adding this kind 
of limit is low risk and eminently sensible.  OTOH, if you have to set it to 
50 and it still affects some small percentage, it's pretty inconsistent with 
the backwards compatibility goals in the charter and of minimal value.  The 
truth will likely be (of course) in the middle where we'll have a diversity of 
opinion about what the facts mean.

I'd like to suggest we do the survey and then look at this again.  My Perl 
skills are nil, but I'll be glad to help out to the extent I can.

I finished a three day scan of all one, two, and three letter domains in the 
.com, .org, and .net
TLDs. In summary, my results are:

	156,198 domains queried
	128,833 domains actually exist and are queriable
	 28,618 had v=spf1 TXT records (22%)
	      0 had v=spf1 DNS type 99 records
	     78 had Spf2.0 records
	      6 had DMARC records

The six DMARC records found were:

_dmarc.hd.org:  v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:postmaster@hd.org;

+1.  I find the cited text neither misleading nor confusing.  Anyone skille=

Sorry, I meant to say that if issue #6 were solved by comprehensively
limiting lookups rather than guarding against known attack paths only,
then there would be no possibility of amplification and this issue
would be moot.

I'm unable to see the advantages of such a complicated structure.  I
hope we are not going to mandate that.

If we wanted to change it, given that current processing limits need
clarification and reorganization, we could do it so as to avoid
invalidating existing code.

AIUI, the "beyond limits" result is meant to be achieved for malicious
or buggy records only.  It is not a production technique.
A "good" SPF record getting PermError after some DNS maintenance, or a
"bad" record making a successful attack, are not the kind of
determinism we're after.  Unless the 10-10-10 rule expresses an
interoperable protocol feature, there should be no reason to require
that exact behavior.

The advantage, as I see it, is that it is easier for the publisher.  It is easy to count by hand, the number of mechanisms/modifiers.   It is easy to make sure (or verify) that your MX records don't have more than 10 hosts.

It is.

RFC 4408 allows 10 mechanisms that use DNS.  If 4408bis allows (to pick an 
example) an overall limit of 50 DNS lookups without distinguishing as to their 
type, a sender could publish ann SPF record with (as an example) 15 DNS a: 
mechanisms that would be compliant with this hypothetical 4408bis requirement.  
Such a record would get a PermError from any software designed to RFC 4408 
requirements.

Unless we want to abandon backwards compatibility (we don't and we'd have to 
recharter for it anyway) the limit of no more than 10 a:, mx:, include:, ptr: 
or exists: is going to have to be carried forward into 4408bis.  There is no 
backwards compatible way to change it.

The other two limits are a bit different.  The additional lookups that can be 
caused by mx: and ptr: mechanisms are lookup caps, not hard publishing limits.  
Sites can publish as many MX records as they want.  It won't cause an error, 
it will just cause unreliable results because a compliant check_host() 
implementation will only look at the first ten and there's no guarantee of 
order in the responses.

The current language of RFC 4408 paragraph 10.1 does comprehensively limit the 
total number of DNS lookups and there is no validated 'attack path'.  Issue #6 
is about potentially adding an additional constraint that might provide some 
reduced risk to DNS DoS (not that the current level is high) and offer some 
potential for performance improvement (since check_host() would be able to 
abandon processing buggy records earlier).

4408bis needs to clearly define what records will raise errors.  SPF record 
publishers need to have confidence that their records will be processed 
reliably by both 4408 and 4408bis compliant check_host() implementations.

I do not believe it's possible to rewrite the limits the way you have proposed 
without losing backward compatbility.  So either I misunderstand your proposal 
or one of us is wrong about backward compatibility.

Would you please propose some text that might be suitable for inclusion in a 
4408bis draft (if we had one) that explains your proposal?

That's the semantics of DNS, and the traditional difficulties at
maintaining DNS settings.  To wit, SPF could be used to just tell what
addresses are authorized, and it would be a real pain to maintain it.
 Therefore, SPF offers all the mechanisms quoted above, and redirect.
 Thus, publishers' convenience is paid with lookups.

(That looks much like interpret/compile tradeoffs, and the situation
could be amended using an "SPF compiler" that also monitors related
DNS zones and autonomously re-compiles on change.)

Attack paths can be considered definitely over-exaggerated liberties
being taken by a publisher, in this context.

The point is how do we tell when a publisher crosses the line, when it
exaggerates, at what point the publisher's convenience isn't worth the
price it puts.  I see two choices:

1:  The standard specifies exactly where the line lies.

2:  The standard just says there has to be a line.

#1 is apparently what you like and what RFC 4408 might be considered
to be stating.  #2 is somewhat softer.  For a comparison with DKIM,
consider the recommended signature content list: the result of a
verification may depend on local verifier's settings.

If the WG decides to go for choice #2 above, more latitude is left to
verifiers.  The 10-10-10 rule lives in security considerations, and we
can leave it there, add more considerations aimed at avoiding to
damage 3rd parties' DNS servers, and whatever, but make it clear that
local verifier policies may determine error conditions arbitrarily.

It is also possible to do both choices.  That is, specify exactly
where the most lenient line lies, while strongly recommending that
stricter limits be implemented.  In this case, I'd suggest that the
mandated "hard" line be expressed in terms simpler than 10-10-10.

> I do not believe it's possible to rewrite the limits the way you

It is possible, as it can be left to implementations to trace the
line.  The 10-10-10 behavior may still be suggested not normatively,
as it currently stands.

That's probably useless.  At this stage, it may be enough that the WG
understands what that choice is and possibly makes a decision.

AIUI, the only choice you are offering is if we want to define an interoperable 
set of requirements for record publishers and processors.  I seriously hope we 
care about interoperabliity.

My problem with #2 is that from one SPF verifier to the next, the results a=
re inconsistent.

(That's actually a problem with both of them given the random quality of or=
dering in DNS replies, but it's even more fuzzy when you don't have any gui=
dance on where the line should be.)

As I think Scott mentioned elsewhere in the thread, there are ways to get a=
round this even if the set of outbound IPs is known even if the set is some=
what large.  Maybe what we need to do is include a description of that mech=
anism and when it might be used.

I'll attempt to summarize the discussion about Issue #6.  As usual, 
if I misunderstood or misinterpreted what you said, please let me know.

Issue #6 was raised by Scott Kitterman on February 6 [1].  In a 
message posted on March 8, he suggested that the protocol 
requirements should be moved up into the main part of the document 
from security considerations [2].  Murray Kucherawy agreed [3].

At the time RFC 4408 was written, there was no general framework for reporting 
authentication results, so the Received-SPF trace header was developed.  It is 
still widely used.  Now that Authentication-Results exists and is gaining 
deployment, I agree that it should eventually replace Received-SPF.

I have reviewed the Authentication-Results header definition and implemented it 
as an optional alternative to Received-SPF.  I also helped create a Python 
module for creating and parsing Authentication-Results headers 
(http://pypi.python.org/pypi/authres ).  Based on that work, I believe that 
Authentication-Results is technically suitable to replace Received-SPF.

I do not, however, think we can do it now.  Received-SPF is a feature in 
widespread use and so it's too soon (charter or no charter I think it's 
premature).  I would, however, support including information about both in 
4408bis with an indication that Received-SPF is deprecated and support may be 
dropped in the future when the specification is revisited.

At the risk of harkening back to the type 99 debate, I have two points in r=
esponse to this:

1) I'm concerned about endorsing two mechanisms.  This may be the right way=
 forward, but I'm not sure yet.  And if it is, I want to be very careful no=
t to create another type 99 problem.

2) It's clear there are SPF verifiers that add Received-SPF, but it's not c=
lear that anything other than humans actually consumes it.  There are howev=
er implementations of RFC5451 (at least one) that do parse them inbound in =
order to conform to the "remove your own on inbound" requirement that speci=
fication imposes, and I imagine there have to be more for that reason.  If =
we conclude there's no machine processing of Received-SPF inbound, then I s=
uspect it's safe, and within charter, to switch.

There are such.  Spamassassin will consume Received-SPF.  Recent versions will 
consume Auth-Results too.  I'm also aware of a number of private 
implementations that do the remove your own on inbound processing.

As an example of why I think it's too soon to switch, I only recently finished 
implementing Auth-Res support for the Python based SPF policy-server for 
Postfix that I develop/maintain.  This is new enough that, AFAIK, it has yet to 
appear in any Linux distribution release.

Because there is no automatice multi-ADMD interoperability requirement for 
either of these trace headers (to the extent they are processed, they only 
matter within an ADMD), there isn't an issue with getting stuck in a non-
deployment don't loop like we have with Type SPF.  

In any case, given that the feature is widely used, I'm not sure how you can 
find it in the charter to be OK to remove?

I did say "If we conclude...".  If we don't, then it isn't.

So far as we are able to determine, there are no objections to this
planned course of action.  We commited (and remain commited) to
undertaking this action in Paris (anyway, we can't publish a -00 until
then).  But in the absence of any controversy about either the draft
or the planned editor, your chairs would not consider it a problem if
some work happened on this draft before Paris.

Best,

I don't think that if it's machine processed or not is particularly germane to 
the charter requirements, but since it is used via machine processing, I think 
the argument is moot.  I guess I'll save it for if we get there.

I have no objection to the document or the editor, but it's difficult to know, 
in the absence of an overall structure for the work of the group if I should 
or not.  I still find the piecemeal, scattershot approach we are using 
inefficient and confusing.

We could petition our AD to let the -00 in past the embargo if we really wa=

By way of an update, I've retooled the survey I was running to record both =
the reply I got (or NXDOMAIN) as well as the time it took for the reply to =
come.  This will help to detect firewalls and DNS servers that discard unkn=
own queries.  Such isn't conclusive (recording SERVFAIL along with how long=
 it took for that reply to come is a heuristic to detect it), but it may lo=
g an interesting pattern.

And so in terms of getting work done on progressing it while we wait for th=
e -00 embargo to lift, here are the work items as I see them:

1) Add Microsoft/Hotmail's DNS survey results when they're available (proba=
bly late this month).

2) Add my own DNS survey results, which I've just restarted, when they're a=
vailable (probably late this month).

3) Add any other data that might be contributed by others.

4) People whose data I've cited should be sure I've represented them correc=
tly in the document.

5) What would we like to see in the Conclusions section based on the data w=
e've collected?

I think we could start on (5) at the same time as the others because the su=
rveys running are very probably only going to reaffirm what earlier surveys=
 suggested.  My intent is to have all the points in that section be of the =
form "Based on X, we conclude Y, because Z.", where X appears in the data s=
ections above that in the document, and Z might include references to other=
 materials to support the Ys.

I have my own opinions about all the points this document has to cover, but=
 my job as editor is to reflect consensus, so it's important that people pa=
rticipate so consensus can be determined and recorded.  This WG has a lot o=
f energy and so the content in here should be quite well-formed once we're =
done.

So, does anyone want to make a straw man conclusion set to get us started?

Isn't that what Scott's "deprecated" suggestion says?  Deprecating
"Received-SPF" means saying that it's in current use, but new
implementations are advised not to generate it (basically, SHOULD NOT).
 For something that has enough usage that we can't remove it (yes, the
charter goes against that), noting that it's on the way out and new
implementations shouldn't generate it seems to be the right way to go.

I think the transition issue is very different.  For this one it's make sure 
you're generating the same thing at the border that you're consuming 
internally for each ADMD, not "Let's switch over everyone on the internet".

I'll summarize Issue #25.  If I misinterpreted or misunderstood your 
comments, please let me know.

Issue #25 was opened based on a message posted on February 23 
[1].  John Levine mentioned that the issue sort of relates to the 
type 99 discussion, since there's only one query to be made, but we 
can fix that when we decide about type 99 [2].  He also commented on 
keeping in mind that we may come back and remove the section if we 
deprecate type 99 and Scott Kitterman agreed [3].  Murray Kucherawy 
also agreed and added that he does not find the cited text misleading 
nor confusing [4].

In an off-list contribution, a person agreed that if type 99 is 
removed, issue #25 is now moot.  The person does not think that the 
"Parallel method is a given and the basic sequential method needs to 
be described".

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

Hm... a SHOULD NOT seems quite stronger than needed here.  There are
implementations that use both, and it is not much disturbing (except
for bandwidth/storage, that is.)  I'd let it at MAY, noting that the
evolution is toward the more homogeneous A-R, but allowing plenty of
time to migrate.

I think the term deprecated is a sufficiently standard software development term to make the point that needs making.  Since automatic processing generally takes place within an ADMD, switching isn't something that has global interoperability impacts. I don't think any kind of 2119 MUSTard is appropriate here.

My best guess is that the document says SPF is part of a small group of dom=
ain-level email authentication technologies, and offers DKIM as another exa=

It is a given that one only need care about return-path being accurate =

This issue encompasses a number of disparate recommendations and Alessa=
ndro=20
has a number of comments that relate to different parts of the section.=
  I=20
think it's useful to talk about each part in turn:

   9. Implications
      9.1. Sending Domains

> >  The advice given in the non-normative Section 9 is misleading.  On=
 the

This appears to refer to 9.1. =20

Nothing is "universally considered safe".  It's a known fact that drink=
ing too=20
much water can kill you.  That doesn't make drinking water a bad idea. =
 It is=20
true that the type of record suggested in 9.1 is uncachable, so domains=
 that=20
use it should be prepared for more DNS traffic than is usual for an SPF=
 record=20
that doens't use uncachable macros.  I think it would be reasonable to =
mention=20
this.

Additionally, there are mechanisms that exist today that did not exist =
when=20
RFC 4408 was drafted that provide alternative mechanisms to collect the=
=20
relevant data.  draft-ietf-marf-spf-reporting, currently in IETF wide l=
ast=20
call, is one mechanism that can support exactly this use case.  Outside=
 the=20
IETF, DMARC (dmarc.org) is another approach. =20

References to at least draft-ietf-marf-spf-reporting should be added to=
 9.1,=20
but the current text about a special SPF record should remain.  The adv=
antage=20
of the special SPF record/DNS log approach is that it requires no coope=
ration=20
from receivers beyond doing normal SPF checks.

      9.2. Mailing Lists

It does not appear that any of the comments address 9.2.  I think it wo=
uld be=20
useful (and a good preamble to the forwarding discussion) to update thi=
s text=20
to make use of the email architecture terminology that didn't exist whe=
n RFC=20
4408 was written.  The references should be updated as well.  I don't t=
hink=20
any functional changes to 9.2 are needed.

      9.3. Forwarding Services and Aliases=20

This comment appears to relate to 9.3:

I disagree with the comments.  First, I think 3.6.2 of RFC 5321 is more=
=20
relevant (it even mentions SPF by name).  I don't think 4408bis should =
update=20
5321.  I think it would make consensus substantially harder to achieve =
and=20
there is no technical need for it.

In email architecture terms, a forwarder ("relay SMTP server" in RFC 53=
21=20
terms, not an alias expander) is part of the receiving ADMD.  Forwardin=
g is=20
configured by the receiver for the receiver's convenience (unlike maili=
ng lists=20
where there is a joint participation model).

It would be useful to explicitly say in this section that THE place to =
do SPF=20
checks is at the transition point between the sending ADMD and the rece=
iving=20
ADMD.  When a message is relayed within the recieving ADMD, SPF checks,=
 per se=20
are not appropriate, all that can be done is to use the results of chec=
ks done=20
on the ADMD border if they can be trasmitted in a reasonably trustworth=
y=20
manner.

There are lots of ways problems in this area can be addreesed, a couple=
 are:

1.  Check at the border and internal relays whitelist border relays fro=
m SPF=20
checks

2.  Rewrite Mail From (e.g. SRS) when mail is transmitted between exter=
nal and=20
internal parts of the ADMD so the check can validate that the mail=20
legitimately came a trusted part of their ADMD.

Doing wild tricks like null mail from forwarding are not appropriate he=
re. =20
They will result in mail loss and there's no need.

In the terms that 9.3 is written, I think this is mostly a middle/end p=
roblem,=20
but the methods listed for beginning/middle/end that are listed are all=
=20
potentially useful.  This could use some cleanup to use email arch term=
s and=20
such, but it's a pretty decent list of options to use.

      9.4. Mail Services=20
      9.5. MTA Relays=20

It doesn't appear that there are parts if this issue related to the las=
t two=20
sub-sections.

> >  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=3D for designing sound and maintainable SPF compliance.

I think it would be useful to add something in this section that addres=
ses=20
domains that send no mail.  For hosts that really send no mail, "v=3Dsp=
f1 -all"=20
is a great record to be publishing as it's got a zero percent chance of=
 false=20
positive.  I think SHOULD publish for all domains is plenty.  I don't s=
ee a=20
MUST.

redirect/include and _spf are nice tools for domains that need them.  T=
hey are=20
not, however, a general solution or requirement.  I think 5.2 already g=
ive=20
adequate coverage to the use of include:.  I think it would be useful (=
as part=20
of the processing limits discussion) to include an indication that SPF =
records=20
SHOULD NOT require TCP fallback to retrieve (and this includes the answ=
ers for=20
other TXT records published for that domain) and offer the _spf example=
 of how=20
to work around packet size limitations.

An informative reference to that draft might be a good idea, though I don't=

We can make liberal use of or reference to Appendix C of RFC5451 to back th=

Sounds reasonable.

Hello,

There has been comments about changes which should go in 4408bis.  It 
is up to the WG to reach agreement on whether it wants to document 
problems in the "conclusion" draft and address them in the 4408bis 
draft.  There isn't any mention of SRS in RFC 4408.  Currently, it is 
not possible to tell whether SRS will go into 4408bis or not.  I'll 
highlight a paragraph from the SPFBIS 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."

A narrow interpretation of that might come out as: if there isn't an 
error, there isn't any ground for making a correction.  If the 
someone argues for adding an enhancement, the person has to show that 
the enhancement has _already_ gained widespread support.

There is an IETF meeting coming up in a few weeks.  Is "forwarding" a 
problem which should be on the agenda?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy
SPFBIS WG co-chair

Forwarding (I think relaying is a better term as it's used in 5321) is not a 
problem, per se.  It is a case that SPF that it takes some care in an SPF 
deployment at accomodate.  Using SRS is one of many ways to do so, but since 
SRS has never been standardized, I don't think 4408bis should refer to it 
specifically.  It is a specific method of rewriting "Mail From" in order to 
support downstream SPF queries.  RFC 4408 9.3.2.1 describes this in general 
terms.

It is useful to have that in there, but I don't think defining a specific method 
is needed.  There is no interoperability benefit for doing so.

I'm quite confused about this mail as it seems to be concerned about reusing 
existing concepts from RFC 4408.  SRS is a shorthand (as one specific method) 
for doing what's described in 9.3.2.1.  There's no news here as far as I can 
tell.  Am I missing something?

The message is about whether there is an issue which requires face to 
face discussion.  If so, time would have to be allocated to it in the 
agenda for the forthcoming WG session.

OK.  I wet back and read the original message again.  I gather this is your 
potential issue:

I don't see the benefit.  RFC 4408 covers the range of possibilities reasonably 
well in terms of how senders and receivers can accommodate this attribute of 
the email architecture.  All we need to do is update the current text a bit to 
take into account the email arch document and it's terminology.  I don't think 
there's a real issue that needs to take up meeting time.

NO, Capital N, Capital O.

SPF is path authentication, it's well understood that it's not
designed to deal with forwarding.  People have been trying to invent
ways to shoehorn forwarded mail into SPF since long before RFC 4408,
and I think it's safe to say that nothing new in that regard has
happened since 4408.

There may still be some people who think that all SMTP mail should
change to match what SPF does.  (Not Scott, certainly.)  They are
wrong.

R's,
John

There are implementations that violate 3.9.1 by not leaving "the rest
of the envelope" (that is, RFC5321.MailFrom) unchanged.  As that
change was triggered by SPF, it should be up to SPF to spell the text
that 5321bis will hopefully adopt, whenever "the celestial omens align
correctly".

Scott correctly notes that RFC 5321 evades defining methods to verify
MailFrom, when it mentions SPF and relaying.  Forwarding (in the 821
sense of relaying while changing the envelope recipient) is not done
well in RFC 5321 because some sentences there are ambiguous (see also
http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/yam/trac/ticket/9).  In particular, the
term "alias" doesn't look like a synonym of intra-ADMD redirection/
expansion.

SPF verification is limited to the helo identity in such cases.  In
the worst case that should deliver a neutral result, whereas keeping
RFC5321.MailFrom unchanged would deserve a fail.  The impasse whereby
most domains cannot afford -all is rooted in exactly this point.

I don't know how many MTAs changed their default forwarding behavior
in violation of Section 3.9.1 of RFC5321 in order to support SPF.  Is
that a widespread support?  I think it is an error that Section 3.9
does not circumscribe the use of alias expansion rules.  Should spfbis
correct that, or at least add clarifying language?

Forwarding has other shortcomings that ought to be fixed, but they are
not related to SPF.  See http://fixforwarding.org/.

I though _spf was quite popular (_spf.microsoft.com, _spf.google.com,
_spf.yahoo.com, ...) but I'm willing to correct myself when I'm wrong.

This is a used, but uncommonly used feature of the protocol.  It is uncommonly 
used as most domains will not need per-user policies.  Removing it would break 
backward compatiblity.  Arbitrarily replacing the actual localpart with 
postmaster would do the same.

The fact that localpart macros affect cachabilty is not news.  4408 8.1 
includes:

   Note: Domains should avoid using the "s", "l", "o", or "h" macros in
   conjunction with any mechanism directive.  Although these macros are
   powerful and allow per-user records to be published, they severely
   limit the ability of implementations to cache results of check_host()
   and they reduce the effectiveness of DNS caches.

There's no evidence provided that these macros are, or ever have been, used by 
"malefactors" to attempt to cause harm and even less evidence that such 
attempts have ever succeeded.

The point about outbound checks is odd, since that's within an ADMD's control 
how to manage such things and so it's a simple case of "if it hurts, don't do 
that".

It's been a best practice for the better part of a decade for MTAs not to 
accept mail for invalid recipients, so there are other ways of accomplishing 
the exact idea of extracting valid localpart names.  There is no news about 
this.

Fundamentally the changes requested in this issue are outside the charter and 
there's no valid rationale for pursuing them in any case.

What is being discussed here isn't a (5321) 3.9.1 alias expansion, it's=
 a=20
3.6.1 relay SMTP server.  As such, your notion that Mail From must be c=
hanged=20
is just incorrect.  5321 is silent on the issue and this isn't the plac=

it if it needs fixing.

It is common use, but it's an arbitrary convention, not a feature of th=
e=20
protocol.  Such addresses are only used in SPF processing if they are p=
ointed=20
to by a redirect or include from elsewhere.  If you want to encourage t=

a method to contrain DNS reply size in the initial query, I think it's =

although using _bob.example.com would work just the same. =20

BTW, not all those actually exist.

I would say that the conclusion document is not a place to document problem=
s except those that are germane to the resolution of the experiment.

I don't advocate adding SRS as any normative part of SPFbis.  I would, howe=
ver, suggest in some informative section of the document that the WG consid=
er including a reference to it as we describe the known limitations of SPF,=
 assuming there's a stable definition for SRS somewhere out there we could =
use.

I also think SPF stands just fine on its own without SRS or a similar mecha=
nism, so I'd be just fine leaving it out altogether.

I may need coffee to jar my memory, but I don't think I've seen anything in=
 our deliberations so far that warrants more discussion of the forwarding p=
roblem than we already have in RFC4408.  We should definitely review it aga=
in though as we move forward.

This is a summary of the comments on Issue #10.  As usual, if I 
misinterpreted or misunderstood your comments, please let me know.

Issue #10 was opened based on the message at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00330.html

Scott Kitterman believes that Authentication-Results is technically 
suitable to replace Received-SPF but he does not think that it can be 
done now [1].  Murray Kucherawy mentioned that it clear there are SPF 
verifiers that add Received-SPF, but it's not clear that anything 
other than humans actually consumes it.  He mentioned that there are 
however implementations of RFC5451 (at least one) that do parse them 
inbound in order to conform to the "remove your own on inbound" 
requirement that specification imposes [2].  He concluded that it is 
safe and within the charter to switch.  Scott Kitterman pointed out 
that there is an implementation that consumes the Received-SPF header 
and mentioned that the feature is widely used [3].

Barry Leiba, as a participant, pointed out that deprecating 
"Received-SPF" means saying that it's in current use, but new 
implementations are advised not to generate it (basically, SHOULD 
NOT).  For something that has enough usage that we can't remove it 
(yes, the charter goes against that), noting that it's on the way out 
and new implementations shouldn't generate it seems to be the right 
way to go [4].  Alessandro Vesely suggested a MAY, noting that the 
evolution is toward the more homogeneous A-R, but allowing plenty of 
time to migrate [5].

Scott Kitterman mentioned that since automatic processing generally 
takes place within an ADMD, switching isn't something that has global 
interoperability impacts [6].

S. Moonesamy

There isn't really anything to standardize in SRS.  It's basically a
single user recipient of VERP, encoding stuff in the bounce address to
provide hints about what bounced.  Like VERP and BATV, the limit on
mailbox length gives it has fairly severe interop problems if you want
it work reliably as opposed to being a heuristic.  The only way I can
think of to avoid that problem is for forwarding systems to keep a
database of bounce addresses from forwarded mail and use a database
key rather than the address, but I don't know anyone who does that.
(Nor would I suggest anyone use it just to work around SPF.)

Yes.

No.  It's a fact, not a problem.

I mean we should review the text we're providing as information to make sur=
e it's right, not we should try to fix forwarding vis a vis SPF.

The RFC should address one of the most common receiver mistakes:

          Checking SPF On Forwarded Mail

    Mail forwarding is set up by the receiver and so for forwarded mail,
    the border mail server (at which SPF should be checked) is the
    forwarder's mail server. If you check SPF on your mail server it is
    coming from your forwarder and not from a mail server authorized by
    the sending domain. Technically this is similar to checking SPF
    against mail relayed from your secondary MX like discussed in the
    previous item. Authorized forwarders should be whitelisted against
    SPF checks to avoid this problem.

In particular, if a receiver is unable to treat an authorized forwarder 
as an internal MX, and the forwarder does not rewrite MAIL FROM (via SRS 
or similar scheme), then you MUST NOT treat any alleged SPF result as a 
real SPF result.  It is only a guess, and not a very good one at that.  
Nevertheless, way too many shops do this.

I think that RFC 4408 9.3.3.1 describes this, but it could be better written.

Dear SPFbis wg,

Conversations related to spf/txt records and general assumptions about 
potential DDoS concerns have been reviewed.  It seems limits for name 
and no data errors represent a compatible solution for resolving 
concerns related with the distributed nature of email, but it is not 
clear what conclusions have been reached.

Email remains heavily abused.  The initial impetus behind SPF was to 
deal with problems created when recipient validation followed message 
acceptance.  Since then such acceptance has become an unsustainable 
practice with increased network consumption from additional abuse that 
this invites, even when invalid recipients are silently dropped.  It 
would also be illogical to assume MTAs would be primary targets of abuse 
being the vehicle of distribution.

SPF leverages resources of the recipient to instantiate multiples of DNS 
transactions that might be measured in the hundreds.  The actual number 
depends upon whether spf/txt are done in parallel and whether EHLO and 
MFROM identities are also checked.  It should also be noted negative 
caching compliance is one of DNS's shortcomings.  A limit of 10 no data 
and name errors should not impact legitimate SPF records.

Any problems related to NS record referrals can be addressed with 
changes to the DNS protocol.  As such, SPF is different.  Those that 
could be affected by SPF may not offer any spf/txt resource records and 
universally use DNS that imposes strict limits on NS referrals.

It seems more productive to wait for proposed text to assess the 
situation, rather than arguing specific points in isolation.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

It describes several options, but the MUST NOT for the receiver end is missing.
There is a strong implication that if you can't handle your own forwarding,
then SPF results are invalid.  But that doesn't seem to be enough for
many email operators.

I also don't like the suggestion that senders should try to work around
forwarding controlled by the receiver.  You might do that to get mail through
to a particular recipient in a pinch, but the recipient is wrong, not
the sender.

Agreed.  I'm only aware of one person who thinks that this is an
important issue, and although he is very persistent, after years of

The trouble (in my view) is that users set up forwarding at alumni=20
associations, professional associations etc. They do not control=20
anything about these systems except the forwarding tables.

The final destination of the email is some other mail server (gmail,=20
hotmail, aol etc). The users do not control anything about those systems =

either except for their own email account.

What *exactly* is being suggested? That the recipient go to gmail and=20
say 'please whitelist alumni.someuniversity.edu.somecountry for spf'?=20
This doesn't seem workable to me. It also doesn't seem workable to have=20
per-user SPF whitelisting rules on big mail receivers -- it would=20
certainly make handling multi-recipient messages rather complex unless=20
they all had the same set of SPF preferences.

This problem is, after all, what SRS was designed to solve.

      <br>
      then SPF results are invalid.  But that doesn't seem to be enough
      for
      <br>
      many email operators.
      <br>
      <br>
      I also don't like the suggestion that senders should try to work
      around
      <br>
      forwarding controlled by the receiver.  You might do that to get
      mail through
      <br>
      to a particular recipient in a pinch, but the recipient is wrong,
      not
      <br>
      the sender.

    <br>
    The trouble (in my view) is that users set up forwarding at alumni
    associations, professional associations etc. They do not control
    anything about these systems except the forwarding tables.<br>
    <br>
    The final destination of the email is some other mail server (gmail,
    hotmail, aol etc). The users do not control anything about those
    systems either except for their own email account.<br>
    <br>
    What *exactly* is being suggested? That the recipient go to gmail
    and say 'please whitelist alumni.someuniversity.edu.somecountry for
    spf'? This doesn't seem workable to me. It also doesn't seem
    workable to have per-user SPF whitelisting rules on big mail
    receivers -- it would certainly make handling multi-recipient
    messages rather complex unless they all had the same set of SPF
    preferences.<br>
    <br>
    This problem is, after all, what SRS was designed to solve.<br>

I don't understand this paragraph. The local part macro is used to 
validate the *sender* of the email. This cannot be done by postponing 
acceptance or refusal to the Data command. I suspect that there is some 
confusion between sender local part and recipient local-part.

This would break backward compatibility. There is no reason that the 
string "postmaster" would pass validation. Note that an MTA may serve 
several domains, and it may arrange that all outgoing mail from 
postmaster comes from a specific domain. In this case, if it was doing 
local-part verification, then the use of postmaster could easily cause 
SPF failures.

In conjunction with issue #12 and forwarders that do not do SRS, the 
forwarder will be sending mail *from* the original local-part, but from 
the *wrong* MTA. At least checking the local part allows this to be 
validated. [I could see systems which tried to distinguish between valid 
forwarders and spammers by using a set of heuristics based on the 
local-part and the timing of SPF checks]

In other words, I do not support the deprecation of the local-part macro.

I agree with Scott, the writing could be clearer, but the general discussion
in 9.3 is fine.

Unless your name is Paypal, a -ALL in your SPF record will screw up a
thousand innocent mail transactions for every random spoof it catches.
Mail forwarding has been around almost as long as mail has, it's not
broken, it's not going to change to deal with the well-known
limitations of SPF, and that's not a problem.

We are hardly PayPal, yet we have had no real issues with SPF and 
forwarding (using -all) over the many years it has been in use here.

As to RFC 4408 9.3 it seems adequate.

This surprises me. Over the last week or so, these are my stats on which 
sites forward email from me without doing SRS and which would get 
dropped if I used a -all. This is just my home email server (and yes, I 
do run a reasonably active mailing list with maybe a thousand 
subscribers). I will agree that a lot of people use -all:

         +all   2145
         -all  54271
         ?all  54532
         ~all 166763

These are the counts from my record database.

Philip

The first column is the number of messages, then the IP address and then 
the reverse lookup if one exists.

Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on 03/15/2012 05:47 PM, Philip
Gladstone would write:

This is exactly what needs to be clearer.  You as the sender have no
control.  It is the *recipient* that sets up the forward, and is
responsible for handling it properly IF they want to check SPF.  That
does imply that gmail.com, aol.com, etc can't check SPF (except perhaps
on a per user basis as requested) because of exactly what you described:
people set up forwards from random locations to their gmail account and
expect it to work.  Their expectation is reasonable if they don't expect
SPF to screen forgeries.  But gmail MUST NOT consider SPF results
official (and probably shouldn't reject on an alleged SPF FAIL), unless
their terms of use forbid forwarding to a gmail account from random
locations, or they have some magic way of handling such forwards.

I suspect gmail actually has an internal list of trusted forwarders -
but I can't really tell.

If the random forwarder does SRS, then it all just works.
If the random forwarder does 551 with a forwarding address, it all just
works (appropriate for alumni, etc)

For recipients with a small private or company wide email domain,
requiring whitelisting of non-SRS forwarders is good policy.

Big email providers like aol and gmail generally don't need to reject on
SPF.  They have effective IP blacklists based on feedback from millions
of users.

Small email domains *do* need to reject on SPF, and it is a simple
matter of policy to either forbid random non-SRS forwards, or provide a
procedure to tell the company MTAs about the new semi-trusted MX.

Dear Philip,

Thank you for the question.  Valid local-parts are exposed with 
immediate rejections of individual recipients for inbound messages, and 
at anytime when resource records in DNS determine sender validity when 
SPF records contain local-part macros.  Exposing valid local-parts in 
this manner asks for additional abuse and should be considered a bad 
practice on that basis alone, but there is more...

Host checks default to "postmaster" when local-parts are not included 
for various reasons such as with NDNs or EHLO checks.  Use of local-part 
macros relinquishes sender's control over authorized sources.  
Substituting "postmaster" protects against possible abuse of the 
recipient's resources, which should be considered a good practice.

It seems safe to conclude SRS has not reached a level of adoption 
offering benefit. The The Authorized Third-Party Signatures (ATPS) 
draft, http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6541 should impose fewer obstacles, 
especially when supported by various service providers.

Basing acceptance on local-part macros allows undetectable spoofing of 
senders.  Again, this asks for abuse and places recipients at risk which 
should be considered an extremely bad practice.
> In other words, I do not support the deprecation of the local-part macro.
It should be mentioned, support of local-part macro vetting by 
recipients allows any malefactor the ability to hammer victims using 
recipient's resources, and lacking limits on no-data, still have 
messages accepted based upon SPF results.

Would you advocate for MFROM and EHLO checks?  Would you advocate for 
spf/txt being done in parallel?  Lacking no-data limits can result in 
hundreds of needless queries aimed at any victim that only needs to 
support DNS, and not even email.  It is also very likely no one will 
notice except victims who may lack any relationship with email 
services.  It should also be mentioned, these victims will be unable to 
play any role in mitigating the attacks.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

After the first sentence, this is incorrect.

The use of local-part macros does exactly the opposite of that.  It enables 
the sender to set per-user SPF policies.

There's no abuse of recipient resources here.  Yes, SPF records that use 
local-part macros can't be globally cached, so there might be some increased 
DNS usage, but there's no abuse.  Should this ever prove to be a problem in 
practice, receivers are free to skip SPF checks on such messages.

Limiting local-part macros to always use postmaster is functionally equivalent 
to removing the macro.  This would break backwards compatibility with a 
feature that's in use and there's no reason to go there.

I'm not sure how they manage it, but if you publish a DMARC record (see 
dmarc.org) the feedback you get from Google has forwarded messages marked as 
such.  They definitely have something.

Yes, a number of failed SPF checks for forwarded mail!

It seems that one of the following must be true:

1: gmail, or any other receiver, don't consider SPF results official,

2: senders never publish -all, or

3: users don't expect forwarding to work.

4.  Gmail is a very large, sophisticated mail operator run by a company with 
lots of expertise in assessing and correlating large volumes of data and uses 
both the data and the capability to determine likely forwarding paths and 
doesn't reject forwarded mail (independent of  SPF) in order to avoid causing 
backscatter.

These options are *very* worrying for the future of SPF.

If the big players ignore SPF, then this reduces the effective adoption 
of SPF dramatically. Why publish an SPF record if the results of 
evaluation are ignored?

People do publish -all

Users do expect forwarding to work.

[In my case, I have an SPF record that rates limits the forwarding rate 
by any particular MTA]

   Philip is correct to talk of "effective adoption" in the eyes of the
beholder; but that's certainly not the whole picture.

   Some domains avoid publishing -all, specifically because of uncertainty
over possible forwarding.

   Some MTA managers _check_ SPF, but don't respect -all -- instead
recording the SPF results in a header.

   These and other workarounds are perfectly reasonable, so far as they
go...

> People do publish -all
> 
> Users do expect forwarding to work.

   Let's be sure we're clear here: some sender domains do publish -all
when they know their email will never _originate_ from a different MTA;
some receivers enable forwarding and do not want emails discarded
because of an SPF -all.

   RFC 4408 has nothing to _resolve_ this tussle.

   I doubt we can _resolve_ it in 4408bis either; but I hope we can
explain it a bit better.

> [In my case, I have an SPF record that rates limits the forwarding rate 
> by any particular MTA]

   Sounds like one possible approach (though I don't fully understand it).
I can think of a half-dozen different approaches...

   I suggest we collect different approaches, and try to craft an
Appendix discussing their strengths and weaknesses.

Philip,

I'm not sure I understand your complaint. If I understand you
correctly, your complaint is that Gmail is not compiant with SPF
because it accepts mail coming through a maillist (which fails SPF
validation) when the original domain publishes a "-all".

I suggest you reread section 2.5.4 of RFC4408 more carefully. There is
no requirement to reject... and Gmail DOES mark the mail (adding a
header) as having failed SPF. As far as I can tell they are doing what
is required.

I've published a -all SPF record since (IIRC) sometime in 2005.  There is very 
little forwarding in the set of people I send to.  In a few cases, I've gotten 
bounce messages due to post-forwarding rejections.  So far, they've always 
contained the target address of the forward and I just resent the message.

Forwarding does happen, but I think that it's rare enough that mail losses due 
to a combination of forwarding and SPF based rejection is a noise level issue 
in the scheme of the overall unreliability of email.  I'm, personally, a lot 
more worried about providers that break the reject or deliver paradigm and 
just drop email into a black hole for reasons that no doubt make sense to 
them.

In the early mid 2000s, when SPF was gaining momentum, its immediate 
appeal to me was that there was a defacto standard vehicle as a place to 
point others to when one of the company domains were abused by an email 
spammer.

Back then, very few systems supported SPF in the TXT RR (never mind the 
type 99 SPF RR, which was not even on the table at the time).  The issue 
was to have an authoritative place someone could see clearly where the 
domains we hold and control were allowed to send mail from.  I have 
always implemented the -all parameter and it has always worked for us.

So retrospect, it is really just a matter of perspective and 
expectations as to what SPF historically was really all about.  In our 
case that being, domain name reputation protection.

It could be that they do, but only use it as input to a larger evaluation a=

That's kind of the same thing, I think.

   Is that damning with faint praise??

   Seriously, I don't know how to put bounds on such losses. It may be
"noise-level". Even at "noise-level" I think it deserves some discussion
in 4408bis (though I doubt we'll come up with any mandatory protocol
changes).

   It is rather hard to delimit such reasons...

   Nonetheless, backscatter is a real problem; and I have seen threats
of blacklisting due to backscatter -- that's arguably a sufficient
reason. :^(

   I'd like to believe that SPF can help the backscatter problem. Some
discussion of this in 4408bis seems like a good idea...

I agree it's an issue, it just doesn't seem to be a major one.  It's covered 
in 4408 section 9 which, I think, has the right information, it just needs to 
be written a bit better and updated.

The term backscatter does not appear in 4408.  It should probably come up in 
4408bis.

It implies that either SPF stays at limited use, or that forwarding
gets deprecated, so that their combination can be ignored and will
eventually vanish.

Section 9 explains it very well, but doesn't solve it.  Are we
standardizing SPF in the hope that people will spontaneously fix
forwarding, and at that point, maybe, dare say that they fixed it
because it was broken?

Forwarding is already a small niche.  From an SPF protocol design perspective 
I think it can be ignored.  As was said already somewhere in this thread, it's 
an attribute of SMTP that people who deploy SPF (both as record publishers and 
as checkers) will have to consider how to deal with.  Section 9 gives some 
advice on this.  We should improve that advice, but that's really all was can 
do.

It is quite possible to check SPF at SMTP time and reject on SPF Fail without 
rejecting mail due to forwarding.  I've written software that gives 
administrators the tools to do it (tools are the easy part - knowing what data 
to put in the tools is harder), but mostly it doesn't scale for large 
operators.

At the other end of the scale, you have massive operators like Gmail who can 
use SPF and other inputs to figure out who the forwarders are and not reject 
based on SPF for such hosts.

None of it's easy, but it's fundamentally doable if the receiver cares to.  No 
matter what we write in an RFC, we can't make them care.

There are other possibilities that are clearly out of scope for SPFbis.  DMARC 
proposed to use SPF and DKIM in combination.  Their protocol 'handles' 
forwarding.

Perhaps, someday, someone will understand the situation well enough to write 
an applicability statement that explains all about how to integrate SMTP 
forwarding and SPF, but I don't think there's anything much beyone a better 
written section 9 we can do in 4408bus.

I don't recall seeing the general issue raised, but I easily could have missed it:

In talking about possible changes to the specifications and the degree to which 
there is installed base that uses the existing text, it's worth distinguishing 
between:

      1.  Changes to the syntax or semantics of the SPF DNS records.  These 
affect what the owner of the associated domain intends or has to do;

      2.  Changes to the use of DNS records at the SMTP server side.

It is possible to have no changes in either the bits in the DNS record or the 
formal interpretion of them, but still have the consumer of the bits -- 
processing at the SMTP-server's side -- be different.

The scope of effect for #1 is quite broad.

The scope of effect for #2 is less broad.  Of course there is still a big 
difference between changes of this type that are entirely incompatible with 
whatever installed base in using the existing spec, versus changes that permit 
the old behavior continue.

I thought it worth highlighting this issue, for our considerations of changes 
that have greater or lesser effects on the installed base.

>Forwarding is already a small niche.

Forwarding is a small niche, but people collecting and sending mail at sites separate
from their home domain (typically doing so at Gmail or Yahoo) is a growing niche.
It has all the same issues as forwarding, it's not going away, SPF does what it does.

Dear Scott,

Senders should internally assert their per-user policies before sending 
and not place this burden on recipients.

The SPF left to right process concludes when a mechanism matches and 
qualifiers are returned.  To constrain possible sources in combination 
with possible local-parts, merged resource record references must be 
used.  This expects recipients to query unique resource records for 
every source address prefix, times the number of local-parts handled.

Local-part macros used in this fashion will place a large burden on 
recipient resources.  A domain sourcing 15 million local-parts from N 
number of unique prefixes represents a _significant_ increase in the 
consumption of recipient resources.  The level of this consumption is 
further exacerbated by the SPF process being unable to cache results 
based on domains since results may include local-part macros.

So even when exactly the same identifier is checked, the full set of DNS 
transactions must occur where a reduction of repeated transactions 
against authoritative servers relies fully upon prior transactions 
remaining in the recipient's cache.  But when transactions return 
no-data, caching durations may be fairly short and not comply with the 
authoritative domains expectations.  Malefactors are able to send 
messages continuously from different sources and domains while still 
exploiting the same evil MX resource records having non-existent targets 
within the victim's domain.  While the MX record itself gets cached, the 
contained targets may have already expired from the cache.  SPF's lack 
of no-data errors makes such strategies extremely easy to configure.

There is no reasonable justification for continuing both a dangerous and 
unnecessary practice.  Those running MTAs are extremely unlikely to know 
whether they are participating in a distributed denial of service 
attack.  Victims of such attacks will likely see thousands of legitimate 
sources for an attack while being unsure whether sources have been 
spoofed.  All thanks to SPF local-part macros.

Substituting postmaster will not break compatibility.  This simply 
requires restrictions on local-parts be done by senders prior to sending.

In the few cases I have seen this mechanism used, it was to allow users 
to send from _any_ source.   When used in this fashion, SPF 
confirmations place recipients at risk of being deceived.  There is no 
reasonable justification for continuing support for this seldom used and 
poorly considered "feature".

This makes no sense. The *purpose* of SPF is to allow the origin domain=20

I also don't understand what 'resources' you are referring to when you=20
claim a _significant_ increase in resources. Are you referring to CPU=20
time, Disk bandwidth, Memory consumption, Network bandwidth, electricity =

use or what? My feeling is that the use of local-part macros increases=20
the number of DNS lookups by (probably) 1 per mechanism that uses a=20
local part macro. Is this increase significant in terms of CPU? I doubt=20
it as spam filtering is computationally very expensive. Disk bandwidth=20
-- I doubt that the DNS lookup by the receiving MTA involves any disk=20
IO. For memory, there may be an increase of the order of 1K in a DNS=20
cache. Sensible policies on the TTL of the record will mean that this=20
record only remains cached for a short period of time. In terms of=20
network bandwidth, the consumption is probably under 1K travelling from=20
receiving MTA to authoritative DNS server managed by the origin domain.

SPF can still cache domain results in exactly the same way. All that the =

use of local part macros does is to reduce the hit rate of the cache=20
somewhat. In the records that appear to be in use that use local-part=20
macros, there are three groups:

1) Those which appear to use it as a fallback after a/mx/ptr records.=20
Presumably, most valid mail gets through the first checks and the local=20
part macro is only tested for forged mail

2) Those which do all the checks using one big macro record. E.g.=20
'v=3Dspf1 exists:_h.%{h}._l.%{l}._o.%{o}._i.%{i}._spf.%{d} ?all'

3) Those which have rather different policies for each local-part. These =

records use redirect or include to fetch a per-local-part policy.

Having said all that, there are very few records that use macros at all:

     45: %{d}
     30: %{h}
     28: %{ir}
   1386: %{i}
    126: %{l1r+}
      1: %{l1r-}
     41: %{l}
     19: %{o}
     11: %{r}
     40: %{s}
      2: %{v}

The first column is the count, and the second is the macro. This is from =

my 280k SPF record dump. I.e. less than 1% use macros, but the=20
local-part macro is second only to the source IP in usage.

Is there an increase in consumption if I add an=20
exists:%{l1r-}.user.spf.%{d) clause. Yes. Is it significant. No. [Note=20
that I can cause *exactly* the same increase in consumption if I add=20
a:mumble.spf.%{d} and always return a record with a TTL of 0]

I just don't see that the resource increase is noticeable by comparison=20
with the cost of handling the email. I don't know about you, but my=20
email feed runs at around 95% spam and most of the resource is spent=20
discarding it.

Dear Philip,

SPF authorized sources should allow recipients to assume user level 
controls have already been applied!  Processing local-part macros 
entails additional DNS transactions requiring a substantial increase in 
DNS caching and SMTP session durations.  This expects a local-part macro 
process will be applied against sub-domains illustrated by your example 
whenever a different user is seen from the SPF domain.

Fortunately few use this method so there is no good record supporting 
the utility or scalability of local-part macros.  The use of local-part 
or i macros also prevents use of SPF to identify the range of IP 
addresses used by the domain, which represents SPF's greatest utility.

All of the above, in addition to increasing the potential amplification 
for reflected attacks off of recipients resolving local-part macros.  
This represents a significant concern since the exists and every other 
mechanism supporting local-part macros are assumed to potentially occur

Ignore the text and just review the log.  Assuming only the Mail From 
identity is checked, the log shows 34.8K bytes from victim's name 
servers responding to 28.8K bytes of requests by recipients for every 
message containing a different local-part.  A different local-part for 
every message is not unusual in spam campaigns.  Spammers may minimize 
their traffic by waiting to repeat local-parts after typical negative 
cache durations.  Once their evil MX record sets supporting their 
campaign have been cached, nearly the entire follow-on DNS traffic will 
be carried almost exclusively by recipients.  These durations normally 
override any requested negative cache duration and are also likely to be 
flushed anyway.

You would need to assume local-part macros are not used abusively to 
arrive at perhaps a 1K byte/user increase in the DNS traffic.  This 
issue must still consider there are millions of local-parts used per 
domain non-abusively.  Once the number of users per domain are 
considered this quickly becomes a problem without there being any 
malicious use of this feature.

An SPF record such as this would allow anyone to spoof messages from the 
domain.  It would need to include some form of the i macro as well.

When you know 95% of SPF records processed are on behalf of malefactors, 
every transaction that might be directed against any domain, especially 
those allowed to return no data,  creates an unnecessary risk especially 
for worthless overhead supporting local-part macros.   A safe and 
pragmatic solution would be to swap all local-parts with "postmaster".

One question:   What entity is supposed to have applied these user level 
controls? Note that in the case that it is not the authorized domain

apply user level controls.

What am I missing?

This doesn't make any sense.  The point of per-user policies is that they are, 
in fact, per user.

All you are saying in this thread is you don't think SPF should have per-user 
policies.  I get that, but the fact is it does and the feature is in use.

Dear Scott,

SPF offers authorizations for outbound domains ensuring return of NDNs 
or to declare the IP addresses used by domain's outbound servers.  These 
addresses can then construct white-lists or resolve reputation services 
blocking the domain.  This utility represents easily more than 99% of 
current uses for SPF not compatible with User level control without a 
general agreement "postmaster" as a local-part always enumerates these 
addresses.

Expecting recipients to impose user level controls on behalf of senders 
is highly ill considered nor has such use been widely implemented except 
in rare cases.  The current macro processing structure ignores the 
100/200/400 transactions that ignore the occurrences of no-data errors 
(depending upon use of spf/txt resource records and Mail From/EHLO 
identity options).

The EHLO processing is still able to exploit the 10 x gain offered by 
the 10 MX mechanisms simply by spoofing EHLO sub-domains.  Based upon 
current SPF specification, the use of macros and insensitivity to 
no-data errors permits a 1 KB message to generate (34.8KB +28.8 KB) x 4 
or 254KB of victim traffic against any domain that simply supports DNS.  
The victim domain does not even need to offer MX/TXT/spf resource records.

This is a poorly considered and rarely used feature nor does User level 
control based upon local-part macros serve a valid purpose.  SPF should 
not authorize untrusted outbound servers!  DKIM provides a safer and 
more practical means to ensure control of email header fields.  SPF was 
never intended to ensure an identity used in email header fields nor can 
this mechanism be expected to scale for such use even when extended by 
another protocol that attempts to restrict these fields based upon the 
unseen Mail From parameter.

Douglas Otis

Hi Doug,

Just as a point of information: is that a positivice claim that it has
been implemented (though rarely); or are you really saying that as far
as you know it's unimplemented, but you're not willing to say "never"?

Please check our charter; we have some pretty strict limits on what we
are allowed to do:

      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.

Are you claiming that the feature is unused, or that it is an error?

Best,

A

Do people have other things they want on the agenda?  There was little
feedback apart from these two suggestions.  We plan to alter the
agenda, and if there are other changes people want I'd like to hear
them.

Andrew, I will not be able to make it in person but I would like to
concur with Scott and Jown with regard to DNS amplification attacks.
his was first raised by Doug 7-8 years ago and we have not seen any
instances of this hypothetical abuse in the wild. As John pointed out,
despite Doug vocally asserting this as a significant issue, he has not
attracted significant (I was going to say any) support within the
community of folks actively working in this space.

I can't think of any other topics that need face-to-face time except maybe =
a quick summary of where we are on each of the tickets in the tracker (quic=
k, I said!).  The remaining time allocated to DNS attacks could be split be=
tween talking about what to put in the experiment document and the type 99 =
discussion/debate/d=E9tente/fiasco.

No hat.

Dear colleagues,

On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 02:23:24PM -0400, Dotzero wrote:

I suggest to be very careful with this line of argument.  Dan
Bernstein identified outbound port predictability of DNS queries as a
vulnerability nearly 10 years before Kaminsky's much-discussed attack.
DJB's complaint was also dismissed as mostly theoretical.

It might be a stronger argument that other vectors of attack are
easier and more effective, however.  (I refuse to have an opinion on
the matter, though I have thought about it.)



Best,

A

This has actually been a significant part of the response/discussion.
I plead guilty to knowing the history of the discussion and assuming
(a bad thing to do) that most others are also familiar (or have taken

Despite a large degree of skepticism about this type of attack, the SPF 
community did a serious analysis of the question several years ago:

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

The conclusion (which I've seen no reason to step away from) is that the 
attack vector that Doug raises is extremely unlikely to ever materialize and 
in the event an attacker chose to do an attack similar to this one, there are 
significantly easier ways to do it.

If we can bolt on the void lookups limit (I've forgotten which issue # that 
one was) without affecting interoperability of current records (we'll need some 
survey results that we won't have for awhile, so no need to argue the point 
further now) then we should add it as an insurance policy/efficiency measure (it 
would give compliant receivers a way to stop processing bogus records sooner), 
but we should by no means regard it or removing per user policies as needed to 
make the protocol secure.

Dear Andrew,

The local-part feature is used by a fraction of a percent of exchanges 
supported by SPF.  Even so, in these rare cases, it serves no valid 
purpose and conflicts with the majority of SPF uses.  This mechanism 
expects recipients to impose restrictions on Mail From parameters used 
by a domain's authorized servers.  A parameter not seen by recipients 
and no protocol imposes local-part restriction on other email header 
fields that might be visible.  This is a feature that clearly should be 
removed as not being used, or at least not gainfully used while imposing 
additional resource risks.

To ensure compatibility in those few instances where SPF records contain 
local-part macros, the specification should indicate use of "postmaster" 
can be alternatively applied to enumerate a domain's outbound servers.  
This would ensure SPF's general utility and compatibility, while also 
guarding against unscalable abuse of recipient resources.

The specification is in error by not ensuring a local-part mechanism 
will not interfere with the vast majority of utilities normally offered 
by SPF.  In that sense, it would be an error to not ensure against such 
compatibility related interference.  This interference is corrected by 
supplanting local-part with "postmaster" when assessing a domain's 
outbound server address set.

The specification is also in error by ignoring accumulations of no-data 
errors that may occur during processing of SPF related macros.  This is 
a different error that must also be resolved.

Likely due to its overhead and unreliable results, few large domains 
dynamically employ SPF as a basis for rejecting messages.  As such, it 
presents fewer exploit opportunities.  It would be naive to assume that 
no evidence being published of SPF macro mechanisms being exploited in 
attacks against some victim domain offers assurances against current or 
future exploits or that SPF will continue to be generally ignored as a 
basis for acceptance.  It is likely exploitation of a recipient's 
resources will go unnoticed by email recipients.  Since email is able to 
make a distributed attack extremely easy to instrument, it is important 
recipient resources not fall into the wrong hands.
> Are you claiming that the feature is unused, or that it is an error?

Both.  To ensure compatibility in those few instances where SPF records 
contain local-part macros, the specification should indicate use of 
"postmaster" can be alternatively applied to enumerate a domain's 
outbound servers.  This would ensure SPF's general utility and 
compatibility, while also guarding against unscalable abuse of recipient 
resources.

Long ago, Nostradamus foresaw that on 03/14/2012 01:17 AM, S Moonesamy
would write:
>>  Use of local-part macros in SPF record sets necessitates repeating all

While Doug is correct that the localpart macro defeats DNS caching in
the hands of a malefactor (and rfc4408 mentions this), so does an IP6
connection with PTR (or ip address macro) (sender has a 64 bit address
space to randomize for a unique IP on each connection).  Should we
remove IP6 support?

The postmaster idea is not backward compatible.  But I have a better
suggestion: if a receiver finds their DNS cache thrashing from localpart
macros (or ip6), or is concerned that that *might* happen, then they
should simply *ignore* SPF records with localpart macros.  Even better,
the libspf2 library has a "cache able" test that determines whether a
policy can be cached.  A receiver concerned about the attacks Doug is
talking about can simply ignore uncache able SPF records. 

We could even be helpful and include the algorithm for cacheability
testing in the security section, and suggest that receivers MAY ignore
uncache able policies if they suspect or wish to prevent a Doug style
attack (although there are easier ways to get the same amplification, so
I don't see the motivation for a bad guy to use such an attack).  This
avoids breaking policies,  and provides an effective mitigation when needed.

Based on what I've read, I too feel that putting up a 20min session on the amplification factor would not be productive.

It isn't that the subject of a DDOS attack and the amplification factor hasn't gotten any support, it is Doug's presentation that hasn't.   Doug wasn't the first to raise the subject of SPF's amplification.  Indeed, the vastly more restrictive processing limits in libspf2 were added before Doug made his first post on the subject.

The problem is that Doug has done nothing new and is still presenting his old ID as if it hasn't been read, analyzed and rejected.   Indeed, he recently wrote:

> the use of macros and insensitivity to no-data errors permits a 1 KB message to generate (34.8KB +28.8 KB) x 4 or 254KB of victim traffic against any domain that simply supports DNS.

There is the problem.   A scary 254k number, but ignores the flaw that it isn't 1KB of traffic that the attacker needs to be able to generate in order to create that attack, it is far larger.

I have read Doug's paper, and I reject the conclusions due to false premises.   I have spelled out these problems years ago, and I do not think it would be productive to continue to rehash old arguments. This draft has been presented at at least one previous IETF meeting, isn't like it hasn't been given a fair hearing.  Obviously, nothing anyone says is going to change Doug's mind, and Doug hasn't changed anyone else's mind.

Assuming we decide we want to say anything at all about the perceived probl=

That variation looks similar to the best-guess case.  That is, for
domains having no or unacceptable SPF record receivers can synthesize
a policy and evaluate that.  (There are similar approaches for ADSP.)

IIRC, we decided that the reporting header fields
(Authentication-Results and Received-SPF) should not conflate such
surrogate results with true ones.

No. It's rather the opposite.

In that case a receiver is making up a record and applying it.  Inventing records and applying them is not SPF.

In this case, it's a matter of not doing SPF processing if resources are not available. Nothing forces a receiver to check SPF for a particular message.

To further clarify, (thinking in terms of an RFC 5451 Authentication Results header field) I suspect you are thinking the result reported would be SPF none. What we're discussing is reporting no authentication check done.

Any check done may be worth being reported.  Personally, I don't see
much added value in reporting that a check was skipped, but if there
is a (valid) reason to skip it and if alternative checks have been
carried out, it might still make sense to report that.  Consider:

Authentication-Results: somehost.example;
  spf=skip reason=uncacheable;
  spf-best-guess=pass smtp.mailfrom=sender.example;
  spf-quirk=neutral (using postmaster@sender.example)
     smtp.mailfrom=sender.example;

Would any part of such a result be useful?

I was thinking the case under discussions would be more like:

Authentication-Results: test.example.org; none (SPF skipped due to non-
cacheable record)

Someone might (I question the value, but someone might) define spf-best-guess 
as a new email authentication method, in which case spf-best-guess=pass 
smtp.mailfrom=sender.example; would be reasonable.  If I were the one defining 
it, I would only permit pass and none for results as the other possibilities 
are at best meaningless and at worst actively dangerous.

I've no idea what spf-quirk would be?

In one open source implementation where I've implemented RFC 5451, I've also 
done things like:

Authentication-Results: test.example.org; none (SPF skipped for whitelisted 
relay domain - client-ip=%s; helo=%s; envelope-from=%s; receiver=%s)

I think that recording that no authentication test was done and why for post-
delivery analysis is an important thing, so in general, I think it's useful to 
report both what's done and not done and why.  It's not going to be a lot of 
help for automatic downstream processing, but it can be invaluable for 
troubleshooting.

The difference is that Best-Guess SPF imposes a record where there is none,=
 which is a complete policy fabrication.  In this case we're ignoring all o=
r part of a record that (in theory) causes an operational hardship, which r=
eceivers are always free to do anyway.

There is some easy confusion here.

SPF stands for Sender Policy Framework, but it isn't really a sender policy, rather it is a domain owner's policy.  Its use has never really been extended into other policy areas the way Meng and Micrsoft (a la positional keywords in senderid) envisioned, so the name is somewhat misleading.

The SPF "best guess", isn't really a fabrication of a domain owner's policy, it is an email receiver policy.  It is perfectly ok for a receiver to implement any policy they want, including requiring IP addresses to be prime numbers or requiring at least one vowel in the sender's domain name.  I suppose that "best guess", like FCrDNS, does vaguely authenticate stuff, but if we put it in the Authentication-Results header, it needs to be clear that it is a receiver's policy.   In any case, I don't think "best guess" usage is really a subject that belongs here.

My MTAs parse Received-SPF from trusted forwarders, and accrue
reputation to the domain:spf-result therein.  Sure, I will eventually
handle A-R also, but it isn't done yet.  It is too soon to drop
Received-SPF.  Unlike type99, there is no penalty to having both headers
- other than a few bytes per message.  So mentioning the new header is
good.  But don't drop the old one.  Yet.

Based on the limited data I've seen, there seems to be remarkably
little cacheing of any of the DNS records typically looked up for
e-mail, such as rDNS, DNSBLs, and SPF.

As far as I know, nobody's ever seen cache thrashing due to SPF, so
nobody's ever tried to deal with it, and we have no idea how well
various solutions would work.  I would strongly discourage us from
recommending untried solutions to hypothetical problems in a standards
track document.

R's,
John

Dear Arthur,

This concern has continued from when SPF advocated 20 deep recursions as 
a method to constrain the DNS transactions that SPF generated from one 
message.

The number of resource records an attacker needs to publish in order to 
enable this reflected attack will not reduce the traffic experienced by 
victims.  This assertion also ignores different treatments for negative 
responses versus an attacker's positive responses.

The attacker has a significant advantage when requested negative 
durations by victim's domains are often shortened to avoid dealing with 
"disruption" induced support calls.  Once their campaign exceeds 
negative caching durations used by recipients and the attack sequence 
repeats, an attacker's resources will be locally cached with 
transactions repeated against their victims.  At this point, no new 
responses are required by the attacker!  There is nothing that prevents 
the same resources from being shared between an attacker's various Mail 
 From domains to leverage these hot and evil cached resources.

Douglas Otis

Dear John,

Those processing SPF records while running an MTA are unlikely to notice 
their participation in a DDoS attack orchestrated with SPF.  Those 
impacted by SPF will be unable to implement a remedy.

The goal is not to make changes in how SPF is normally used.  The goal 
is to ensure SPF retains its widely used utility for enumerating 
addresses of a domain's outbound servers.  SPF has never been widely 
used as intended.  There is no way to predict what revival of this 
flawed specification may have on its use.  It is prudent to consider 
what increased processing of SPF may have with its related security 
concerns.  Security concerns that extend beyond those that may 
inadvertently abuse DNS with hundreds of transactions ignoring no-data 
errors initiated with recipient resources by unknown entities.

At least, responses originating from the same message should get
cached during the message processing, in case various tools running at
the same MTA are unable to reuse one another's results.

Do we have utilities for counting how many IPv4/6 addresses does an
SPF record mean to "pass"?  Comparing the number of (connected
components of) good addresses to the number of queries required to
determine it should measure the efficacy of SPF records.  IMHO, the
boundary between poor efficacy and malicious attack is subjective, but
such is any measure of domain reputation.

Dear Alessandro,

Agreed, several messages may exist within an SMTP session.  When just 
the right-hand-side of email-addresses are used for SPF record checks, a 
single check would apply for all messages of a domain.  Precluding 
"postmaster" local-parts from authorizing the server could impair NDN 
acceptance and degrade interchange compatibility.

Reusing checks for messages of the same domain would be ideal.  Users 
should be authenticated prior to messages being sent anyway.  After all, 
left-hand-side restrictions were recently deprecated in DKIM where it 
did not cause the additional overhead seen with SPF.  Expecting 
recipients to confirm local-parts has serious scaling issues.  
Fortunately this rarely attempted mechanism can be "nipped in the bud" 
before it becomes a serious problem.

Such measurements will be difficult when SPF records contain "i" or "l" 
macros.  Domain reputations for SPF will also immediately confront 
latency issues.  Reputation checks are normally based upon source IP 
addresses used by TCP connections.  This occurs well before SPF domains 
can be verified as authorized.  Often these checks only occur prior to 
sending NDNs.   With latency being a problem, reputation checks are 
unlikely able to preclude problematic SPF record domains.   However, 
problematic macro elements can be proactively precluded instead.  With 
use of problematic macros being rare, careful preclusion should not 
prove disruptive especially when specifications offer guidance for both 
senders and receivers.

Douglas Otis

After reading through all this, and being a new implementer of SPF that alr=
eady implements RFC5451, if given the choice I will not stamp Received-SPF.

I'd prefer not to because (believe it or not, every byte counts) this reduc=
es mail storage cost. RFC5451 already provides the opportunity to remove a =
bunch of other x- headers Hotmail inflicted on itself, so I don't see the p=
oint in adding redundancy.

Since I'm not removing Received-SPF from an existing implementation, this s=
eems in-line with current sentiment.

This is a summary of the comments on Issue #10.  As usual, if I misinterpre=
ted or misunderstood your comments, please let me know.

Issue #10 was opened based on the message at http://www.ietf.org/mail-archi=
ve/web/spfbis/current/msg00330.html

Scott Kitterman believes that Authentication-Results is technically suitabl=
e to replace Received-SPF but he does not think that it can be done now [1]=
.  Murray Kucherawy mentioned that it clear there are SPF verifiers that ad=
d Received-SPF, but it's not clear that anything other than humans actually=
 consumes it.  He mentioned that there are however implementations of RFC54=
51 (at least one) that do parse them inbound in order to conform to the "re=
move your own on inbound"=20
requirement that specification imposes [2].  He concluded that it is safe a=
nd within the charter to switch.  Scott Kitterman pointed out that there is=
 an implementation that consumes the Received-SPF header and mentioned that=
 the feature is widely used [3].

Barry Leiba, as a participant, pointed out that deprecating "Received-SPF" =
means saying that it's in current use, but new implementations are advised =
not to generate it (basically, SHOULD NOT).  For something that has enough =
usage that we can't remove it (yes, the charter goes against that), noting =
that it's on the way out and new implementations shouldn't generate it seem=
s to be the right way to go [4].  Alessandro Vesely suggested a MAY, noting=
 that the evolution is toward the more homogeneous A-R, but allowing plenty=
 of time to migrate [5].

Scott Kitterman mentioned that since automatic processing generally takes p=
lace within an ADMD, switching isn't something that has global interoperabi=
lity impacts [6].

Agreed.  By definition, no one is depending on your implementation providing 
Received-SPF and which you provide is primarily a matter for how you chose to 
do things within your overall ADMD.  There are people that relay out of 
Hotmail to other providers for final delivery that might prefer to see both, 
but it's not like they are getting anything now.

+1, it makes sense to encourage new implementations to use A-R (only).

Hm... some implementations rename that to Original-Received-SPF.  The
old header field was not designed for forwarding.  (Actually, SPF
itself was not designed for forwarding, but this mumbling belongs to
the other thread...)

-1 on this proposal.

Maintaining backwards compatiblity is a very high priority in the chart=

When we re-write text, and particularly re-writing entire sections, we =

with=20
4408 and understand from that intent how to interpret new text.

The best way to maintain backward compatibility is not to change things=
.  For=20
an issue like this, where there's no technical issue, just a stylist on=

RFC 4408 repeatedly mentions the possibility to reject messages that
fail SPF.  Indeed, that was the original idea of the protocol, IIRC.

John confirms that forwarding is "not going away, SPF does what it
does."  Nevertheless, I think it is a moral obligation for a standard
writer to figure out and describe how to make things work.  Operators
who know better will do their way, under their responsibility.  But it
is insane to air a possibility --reject on fail-- which we know does
not work.

They seem to be asking "Did you mean 'reject' when you said '-all'?"

Shall we stay experimental until then?  Or will 4408bis be such an
irresponsible specification as to result in an SDO being unable to
comply with its own standards:  I see DMARC reporting messages failing
SPF with smtp.mailfrom=ietf.org because they are forwarded to Google
without changing smtp.mailfrom.  I see bounces from IETF's role
addresses (I-D@tools.ietf.org) due to the same reason.  (The
postmaster said:
  Yes.  Sight.  I've run into this particular problem before, it's
  been discussed on the tools-discuss list and on the wgchairs list,
  and I've asked if there's a clearcut recommendation I can follow,
  and the response has been such that I conclude that any changes I
  can make also has equally serious (different) consequences.  It's
  apparently (not that I know enough about SPF to be able to
  adjudicate this, but that's the way I've understood the responses
  I've received) an inherent problem with SPF....
)

The possible solutions I see are as follows:

* Recklessly pretend that the problem doesn't exist,
* prohibit rejection on SPF fail,
* specify under what conditions it is safe to reject on SPF fail,
* update SMTP to make forwarding SPF-compatible, or
* deprecate SPF altogether.

Although I basically agree with Scott, it could be added (e.g. in
Section 1.2) that the function name being used is not an API entry
point and that such terminology is used for clarity and historical
reasons only.

This is a rough summary of the discussion about Issue #12.  As usual, 
if you are misquoted or misunderstood, please let me know.

Issue #12 is based on a message posted on February 10 [1].  Murray 
Kucherawy does not agree about making a correction to Section 3.9.1 
of RFC 5332 in 4408bis [2].  He also mentioned that the empty string 
effectively disables SPF, making forwarding into an attack 
vector.  He also pointed out that SPF stands on its own without SRS 
and there is very little adoption of the later.  He mentioned that 
encouraging the use of _spf is a substantial departure from the deployed base.

Alessandro Vesely pointed out that there are implementations that 
violate 3.9.1 by not leaving "the rest of the envelope" (that is, 
RFC5321.MailFrom) unchanged.  As that change was triggered by SPF, it 
should be up to SPF to spell the text that 5321bis will hopefully 
adopt [3].  He also mentioned that Forwarding has other shortcomings 
that ought to be fixed, but they are not related to SPF.

Scott Kitterman does not think that any functional changes to 9.2 are 
needed [4] or that 5321 should be updated by 4408bis.  He also 
mentioned in another message that _spf is in common use but it is an 
arbitrary convention, not a feature of the protocol [5].

Murray Kucherawy alluded to a message from John Levine and commented 
that SPF not is sufficiently heavyweight to say that RFC5321 3.9.1 
got it wrong.  SPF is effectively a layer on top of 
SMTP.  Environments that don't use SPF might rely on the opposite behavior.

John Levine mentioned that there isn't anything to standardize in 
SRS.  It's basically a single user recipient of VERP, encoding stuff 
in the bounce address to provide hints about what bounced.  Like VERP 
and BATV, the limit on mailbox length gives it has fairly severe 
interop problems if you want it work reliably as opposed to being a 
heuristic [6].

Stuart Gathman pointed out that the RFC should address one of the 
common receiver mistakes; checking SPF on forwarded mail [7].  He 
also mentioned that RFC 4408 9.3.3.1 describes several options but 
the MUST NOT for the receiver end is missing.
There is a strong implication that if you can't handle your own forwarding,
then SPF results are invalid [8].  Philip Gladstone pointed out that 
users do not control anything about these systems except the 
forwarding tables [9].

John Levine mentioned that the general discussion in 9.3 is fine 
[10].  Commerco WebMaster  reported not having any real issues with 
SPF and forwarding (using -all) [11].  Philip Gladstone  posted some 
statistics and pointed out that sites forward email from me without 
doing SRS and which would get dropped if I used a -all [12].  John 
Leslie mentioned that
some domains avoid publishing -all, specifically because of 
uncertainty over possible forwarding [13] and that some MTA managers 
_check_ SPF, but don't respect -all -- instead recording the SPF 
results in a header.

Scott Kitterman mentioned that Forwarding is already a small niche 
and from an SPF protocol design perspective he think it can be 
ignored [14].  John Levine pointed out that people collecting and 
sending mail at sites separate
from their home domain [15].

Alessandro Vesely suggested some possible solutions [16].

Yes, but no where is it mandated. With one specific exception, RFC 4408 is silent on receiver policy. That is not an accident.

Sure it does.  I've published a -all SPF record since before RFC 4408 was published and I know some receivers reject on fail because every now and then I get bounces due to forwarding (in these few cases, I just resend the message).

I've published software that has some reasonably wide use that defaults to reject on fail. No one has ever suggested this default was problematic. FWIW, defer on temperror (which used to be the default) did cause problems, did generate complaints, and I did change it.

Among other things, yes.

Section 9 of RFC 4408 contains a veritable compendium of things that can be done at the beginning, middle, and end of the transit of a message. I don't see a lot more to be done.

I think the real issue here is you want receiver policy specified and RFC 4408 generally avoids that. Rather than argue about forwarding and receiver policy (which is only one aspect of it), perhaps it would be more useful for you to open a new issue on that more general topic.

I also mentioned not having problems with -all and forwarding. I disagree with the characterization of what Alessandro suggested in [16] as solutions.

I'd leave aside possible amendments to that text, for the time being.

>From a formal POV, it does so.  However, reject-on-fail is mentioned
in prominent passages of the spec, and not by mistake.  Many people,
including myself, have been advocating an even stronger position on
receiver policy.  As a result, reject-on-fail is widespread enough to
cause problems.

Of course, we can pretend there is no problem, 1st bullet above, but
that's not a useful answer to tools.ietf.org's postmaster and many
others like him.  It's a conceptual decision that I'm after, a

What more general topic?  This ticket is already too wide to be
practical for wordsmithing purposes, but I think it is just enough to
cover the issue at hand.  For example, we could plan, according to the
middle bullet, to trust the helo identity for forwarded messages, if
there were more than a few domains who cared to define an SPF record
for each helo identity they use...

By the same token, I don't agree that the change I'm proposing makes any th=
reat to backward compatibility.  The algorithm itself is certainly unchange=
d; it's the presentation of the algorithm in the form of a (loose) API defi=
nition that I think we should avoid.

We went through a similar exercise with the promotion of DKIM to Draft Stan=

I think it's more than a stylistic point.  For Experimental documents the b=
ar is pretty low in terms of what gets through to publication, but for Stan=
dards Track documents the evaluation is more rigorous.  In that sense, the =
"We shouldn't specify APIs" mantra that pops its head up now and then in th=

Adding text to say the "check_host()" thing is an illustration point only a=
nd not an API definition is probably a reasonable compromise.  We could ask=
 our ADs to be sure.

The more general topic is "Should 4408bis be more prescriptive about receiver 
policy?"  With the exception of MUST treat Neutral and None the same there are 
no hard receiver policy requirements 4408.  All of the others are in the vain 
of "If you ... then ...".  

Getting beyond that to try and specify receiver policy would, IMO, be a 
mistake, but I think it should be generally discussed by the group rather than 
bolted onto this issue.  If we're going to specify it, we should broadly 
specify it, not just for dealing with forwarding.  If we're not going to 
generally specify receiver policy, then (obviously) we shouldn't.

Depending on how this discussion comes out, that will affect what it is 
reasonable to try and specify for forwarding.

I'm quite sure at least Scott will tire of me holding up DKIM as an example=
 of a better way to do things, but I'm talking here about the document, not=
 the protocol.  :-)

As has been said, SPF tried at least in part to present a mechanism that wa=
s "safe" for reject-on-fail.  There's also common advice that says one shou=
ldn't do this even when asked to so because of SPF's failure modes.  Indeed=
, this sentiment has even spilled over into the nascent DMARC work.

DKIM, on the other hand, retreated from that position some time ago and act=
ually says that people shouldn't reject mail on failure specifically becaus=
e of legitimate failure modes.  It should simply be input into a larger eva=
luation mechanism.

So I obviously don't advocate for "recklessly pretend the problem doesn't e=
xist", but I do think we can only go so far in terms of giving people rope.=
  Being more assertive in our description of the problem and recommendation=
s is probably quite appropriate.

We can't prohibit rejection on SPF fail, in the same way that we can't dema=
nd people discard on ADSP failures.

The last two options (update SMTP, deprecate SPF) sound like non-starters.

Interoperability for SPF, in my view, only goes as far as the evaluation fu=
nction produces the same result for everyone given the same inputs.  The ac=
tual action taken by the receiver is not our concern, just like with DKIM, =
although we can provide strong advice and explain why we think it's the rig=
ht advice.

Why would they do that?  As I recall, Received-SPF includes an indication o=

Worth documenting in any case.

I'm happy to learn lessons for improvement from wherever they come.  I'm not 
sure this is a good parallel, however.  You are correct that DKIM avoids any 
policy proscriptions, but I don't think that's a fair comparison because the 
scope of SPF is more like DKIM + ADSP than just DKIM.  It would be very odd to 
have something with policy as it's middle name that avoided policy.

I don't think that DKIM + ADSP is very generally useful.  It is far less 
useful than SPF with -all IMO.  It may be inherent or it may be because the 
DKIM working group ignored policy considerations when DKIM was being developed 
and only tried to bolt it on at the end.  There's really no way to know for 
sure (this isn't just looking in the rear view mirror - I argued when the DKIM 
working group was formed not to do it that way, but I lost out).

I think that the answer to the question of "Is reject on fail safe" and the 
question of "Is publishing a -all record safe" is very firmly "It depends".  
Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't (in answer to both questions), so I 
think if we try to come up with a one size fits all for 4408bis we'll get one 
size fits approximately none.

I'm quite comfortable with the idea of a range of options for what receivers 
might do (and have written code that supports pretty much all of them I can 
think of) and only providing guidance in terms of "If you ..., then you 
SHOULD/MUST ...".

Yes.  It is weakly expressed also due to standardization reasons that
I keep forgetting.  However, phrases like "local policy can take
stronger action against such E-Mail, such as rejecting it" are pretty
understandable even without MUSTard.

OTOH, predictable behavior makes for better interoperability.

I agree forwarding is the ugliest case to discuss, but recipient
behavior is all downhill from there.

I'm of the opinion that receivers will do what they want and so it's pointless 
to try and tell them what to do.  What we should focus on is how to do the 
things they might choose in a reasonably standardized way (e.g. specify what 
result codes to use).

This looks logical and safe, except that that larger evaluation
mechanism currently consists mostly of black magic and undisclosed
esoteric techniques.  We cannot say to accept messages failing SPF
without indicating some more or less equivalent protection against
domain-name spoofing.

+1, we should agree what to recommend, then assert it strongly enough.

That must be because of those standardization reasons that I'm unable
to get straight.  (ADSP did it so well that people have difficulties
even understanding what "discardable" means.)

Yeah; really, none of those bullets sound attractive.  Would it be
possible to check the feasibility of updating just a little bit of
SMTP?  For example, that one MUST NOT use alias mode to external
servers unless its address passes an SPF record with its label.  I
mean as a possibility, without committing ourselves to actually do so.
(Yes, I can imagine how would, say, John Klensin react if I hounded
him for such a question, but maybe there is a better way of asking...)

Deprecating SPF, to me, is not much more or less attractive than
recklessly ignoring the problem, since hurtful and deprecated are
nearly synonyms.  I hope the WG is good enough to avoid both.

One way or the other, we must say how recipients are supposed to
behave to make the protocol work.  The clearer the better.  It has to
be our concern, although it might be impermissible for us to
explicitly mandate it.

Reject on FAIL works perfectly well - WITH the constraint that receivers 
must not treat results from (alias/non-SRS) forwarders as SPF results.  
This is ridiculously simple for a small operator (configure a small list 
of authorized forwarders), doable for a very large operator like gmail 
or aol (using SPF results over millions of messages to figure out who 
the forwarders are), and very difficult for a medium operator (no, end 
users are *not* going to helpfully tell you when they set up a forward 
on some random MTA).  This probably means medium operators can't 
realistically reject on SPF.

spfbis should simply explain the constraint for correctly rejecting on 
SPF.  Rfc4408 already does, but not very explicity.  I think we should 
say that any SPF result MUST NOT be considered official (and therefore 
rejecting on FAIL is not recommended) when the client MTA is a non-SRS 
forwarder.  Note that for small operators, it is much more common in my 
experience for them to reject on FAIL from their own secondary MX, than 
to have forwarding problems.

SPF does not break forwarding.  It simply has the limitation that 
policies can't be (correctly) checked for alias/non-SRS forwarders.

Idea: instead of trying to detect alias forwarders, detect 
non-forwarders instead.  Start by assuming *all* MTAs are alias 
forwarders.  Whenever you get an SPF PASS, add the domain,IP tuple (MTA 
could send both forwarded an unforwarded emails) to a database of 
non-forwarders, for which you can reject on FAIL.  The database could 
get very large, however.

There is, in fact, no problem.

The result of running the SPF algorithm on an alias forwarder is NOT an 
actual SPF result.  Rejecting on an actual SPF result does not cause 
problems.  The fact that connections from alias forwarders are invalid 
input to the SPF algorithm is a limitation of the protocol.  But it does 
not break forwarding.  Forwarding is only broken when receivers confuse 
pseudo-SPF results from an alias forwarder with real SPF results, and 
then reject on FAIL.

We should continue to encourage reject on *SPF* (vs pseudo-SPF) FAIL.  
We need to define valid inputs to SPF in a way that people won't confuse 
the two as easily.

There are a variety of ways to distinguish alias forwarders from direct 
MTAs, from the very simple "configure authorized forwarders in your SPF 
software", to webapps to allow users to enable reject on FAIL and enter 
authorized forwarders for a larger MTA, to methods that detect 
forwarders from a large set of connections.  If a receiver can't 
distinguish alias forwarders in some practical way, then SPF is not as 
useful to them.

Note that configuring authorized forwarders does not need to involve 
entering IP addresses if the forwarder publishes SPF for some domain 
that covers the MTAs used for alias forwarding.

As I mentioned in a previous message, I believe that if the SPF result 
is pass, we can assume that the MTA is *not* an alias forwarder for that 
domain, and this can be used to build a list of domain,ip where an SPF 
fail result is valid.  But this is a new idea (for me anyway), and needs 
to be vetted.

I don't see any justification at the moment for asking whether it is 
feasible to make such an update.  You could raise the question during 
the WG session next Friday if you wish.

This an interesting tack, but I don't think I agree.  SPF takes as input a =
domain name and an IP address, does some crunching, and returns a result.  =
That result is deterministic.  At the level of that interface, the IP addre=
ss of a forwarder is indistinguishable from any other, so to say one class =
of IP address is valid while another is not seems a non-sequitur to me.

Any result produced by taking those two pieces of input and following the S=
PF algorithm is an SPF result.  If two different systems have differing out=
puts given the same inputs, then we have an interoperability problem and/or=
 a broken specification.

Requiring different treatment of forwarders based on a heuristic would not =
be an SPF result, in the same way that several have asserted that Best Gues=
s SPF is not an SPF result.

That might be a useful exercise, but I don't think it fits with the current=
 protocol.

I would bet real money that this is a non-starter.  By doing so, you would =
declare a big piece of the deployed email infrastructure non-compliant.  If=
 I may paraphrase John Levine about MLMs: Forwarders have been doing what t=
hey do for decades without complaints, so who are we to suddenly tell them =
that they're wrong?

Such as trying to get one of us to do it for you?  :-)

When it comes time to crack open RFC4408bis itself, I imagine you should ha=
ve clarifying text ready to propose so we can discuss it.  I haven't looked=
 lately, but I believe Scott when he says it's already there.

I think I know Klensin well enough to channel his answer to that
question.  To summarize three pages of detailed response: absolutely
none.

It is a specific design feature of SMTP that the contents of a message
are independent of the path it takes.  That isn't going to change.

The only reason SPF works at all is that a large fraction of mail
happens to take a predictable path.  But not all of it does, and the
part that doesn't can't be wished away.

R's,
John

To ease checking, IIRC.  I'm unable to find that discussion right now, I'll
confirm (or retract) this point next week.

Correct.  However, the "receiver" field is not mandatory, and there is no
discussion about removing spoofed fields.

The implementations I've seen use a combination of Received: and Received-SPF: 
to determine which ones were added by a trusted MTA.  There's an assumption 
that anything added before the first trusted MTA will be ignored, so there's no 
need to remove them (they are untrustworthy, but not necessarily spoofed).

This is not completely reliable, but better than trying to extract the correct 
source IP address out of a Received: field and apply SPF against that after the 
SMTP transaction is finished (which I have also seen).

I didn't fully grasp Stuart's method.  If it works reliably, it is a
possibility.  It is true that it seems to add a complex IP database
maintenance to a simple algorithm, but I wouldn't consider it out of scope if
it enables us to spell under what condition it is safe to reject.

We can distinguish the algorithm from the conditions that enable reject on
fail.  Two systems may get the same results but different ability to reject
based on that.  I'm quite dubious about defining different behaviors for
small, medium, and very large systems, but, heck, whatever works!

Yes.

Yes, strictly speaking, it is not part of it.

Not suddenly, every user and operator found out that email is too easily
abused.  IMHO, it is the smallest change that is compatible with plain reject
on fail.

I think it's more useful to make recommendations about where SPF checks should 
be done.  My ascii art skills are minimal, so I made a PDF (attached - no 
comments on those skills please) to describe what I think are the different 
architectural cases and where SPF checks should be done in each.

The first one is the most common case of direct transfer from the sending ADMD 
to the receiving ADMD.  The check should be done on the border between the two 
ADMDs (that doesn't mean the results of those checks can't be used elsewhere 
if that's the design of the receiving ADMD, but that's where the measurement 
should be taken).

The second one is the traditional forwarder case.  In this case, the forwarder 
is an agent for the receiver (the sender has no idea their mail will be 
forwarded, it's the receiver that determines this).  The forwarder is 
effectively part of the receiver's ADMD.  The case is generically the same 
though.  SPF should be checked when it passes from the sender's ADMD to the 
receiver's.  The reason this case is so hard is that many receivers don't 
understand the boundaries of their ADMD to include this and argue they 
shouldn't have to.

The third one is the case of a rewriting forwarder (this could be SRS or some 
other method, that is an implementation detail).  In this case the forwarder 
proxies for the sender so that they are acting as both an agent for the sender 
and for the receiver.  The receiver is inside both ADMDs to some degree.

Finally, in the mailing list case, it's really very easy as normal mailing 
lists treat a submission as a completed delivery and then make a new message 
to the list.  In the first transaction they are the receiving ADMD and in the 
second they are the sending.  Lists are also different in that, unlike 
forwarding, both the sender and the receiver are party to the list (assuming 
appropriate controls to avoid random posts are in place) and so the list 
manager is an agent for both.

When I say section 9 needs to be re-written in modern email architecture 
terms, this is the kind of thing I had in mind.  I wouldn't go so far as 
Stuart does to declare that measurements taken in the wrong place are not SPF 
results.  That binds the protocol to architecture in a way that I think is 
problematic.  I do think we need to give advice on where/how to do it.

Probably yes.  Yet, those three pages may come handy if the WG needs to
justify a decision like banning reject on fail.

Not the content, just a piece of the envelope.  A varying return-path is not
such a novelty, after all.

Thus, with SPF being a standard part of mail, we can say mail works in a
large fraction of cases.

Dear Alessandro,

A piece missing in SMTP is a method to authenticate outbound and 
incoming servers, but email operations work well and likely better 
without SPF.  Dropping NDNs without an SPF pass lowers intended delivery 
integrity in a way not compliant with SMTP.

Dealing with NDNs containing spoofed return paths can be (and largely 
have been) supplanted by vetting prior to acceptance.  Domains that 
don't may find email not working as desired and their MTA's increasingly 
flooded with abuse.  DKIM provides more reliable defenses against 
phishing, where a return path is seldom visible anyway.

SPF may help facilitate the determination of IP address's reputation 
interference.  SPF may help facilitate white-listing of problematic 
domains that require too much support otherwise, but only when "i" and 
"l" macros have not been used.  Responding to problems created for even 
a small fraction of email is why SPF as a basis for acceptance or 
rejection is not practical for large operations who provide services for 
the majority of email.

Unfortunately, SPF remains problematic even for the EHLO such as what 
can be done for email coming from 10.64.0.0/10?

Regards,
Douglas Otis

To include them, receivers should at least know.

There is no protocol whereby a forwarder can tell to a receiver that it is
going to forward mail.  (We may call it "consent-exchange protocol", as it
implies that the owners of the target addresses grant their consent for such
use; this is a legal requirement in some countries.)  Thus, operators on the
receiving side have to collect the relevant data by unspecified means; that
is to say, manual and fallible methods, irrespectively of the system size.

Of course, pretending to be a legitimate forwarder is a common attack path...

It would be illuminating to be able to estimate what fraction of legitimate
mail is (or fails to be) transferred that way.  Any report?

Still, you're proposing adding a new requirement onto the entirety of a dec=
ades-old infrastructure.  I imagine for that trick to work, the benefit wou=
ld have to be pretty enormous, and a huge majority would have to be on boar=
d with adopting it.

SPF isn't a standard part of mail.  It's an optional add-on.

Until we hold that reject-on-fail is valid, SPF is less optional than it
would seem at a first glance, because it affects a mail operation that used
to be possible without it.  A sender who does not opt for SPF can have its
forwarded messages bounced because both the originator and the target opted
to implement SPF in such a way to break that operation.  In this respect, SPF
has changed SMTP already, whether we're gonna document that as an update or not.

What's worse is that there's no guidance on how to avoid such incidents.  A
protocol worth its salt should allow to determine what parties are at fault
in case of malfunction.

Given Scott's last message, I think there's been enough discussion about de=
ployment advice, caveats, etc., that we should decide whether there's enoug=
h material to warrant its own document.  If the volume of such pedagogy is =
significant, then packing it all into a really big appendix of RFC4408bis m=
ight be considered poor form.

It's obviously not one of our deliverables in the current charter, but I su=
spect it wouldn't be a big deal to add it since it doesn't affect the const=
raints on protocol changes.

Co-chairs, your thoughts?

Do most list servers these days replace the envelope sender?  I can't remem=
ber.

Perhaps predictably, I want to avoid us telling MLMs what they have to star=
t doing in terms of what they need to do to accommodate SPF.

+1

Despite my not being a co-chair, I think the idea seems sound.  Where do 
you suggest that this kind of information reside?  Is there a precedent 
for doing this from other RFCs?  If so, then it seems a template for 
creating such an adjunct document exists.

I would submit that such a collection of deployment, caveats, etc., 
information discussed so far could logically rest somewhere within 
OpenSPF.Org

They all do.  They have to, if they're going to do bounce management.

MLM's haven't had any trouble with SPF other than in faulty client
implementations that attempt to correlate some bit of the message
headers with the bounce address.

Could you please bring this up during the WG session on Friday?  As 
the Responsible AD will be in the room, it should be easy to resolve 
the deliverable angle.

Could the WG please provide feedback about this so that we don't get 
into a long discussion on Friday?

I am not convinced of the need. I think it's generally better to keep it in one document.

DKIM has a deployment document that's separate from the protocol specificat=
ion, for example.  They also did an overview document.

I'm sensitive to Scott's concern that it all be in one document.  There's s=
ome question about whether anyone reading RFC4408bis would even think to lo=
ok for separate documents.  We could, of course, do them as a cluster, thou=
gh that will have the side effect of delaying publication until both are re=
ady.

I'd be fine with doing this in RFC4408bis itself unless the volume of it ge=
ts too big to fit practically in an appendix.  At that point I think it sho=
uld be in its own Informational.

As SM requested, I'll bring it up Friday.

It's not very clear what should go to the separate document.  Differently
than DKIM, SPF is a self contained protocol, or at least used to.  Some
difficulties originate from unclear logic (e.g. break forwarding being
predicated true and false at the same time) but if we are able to get them
straight, we might actually happen to shorten the original text.  That is to
say, I'd defer deciding about an overflow document to when we see that we
need to be verbose.  I hope it won't be necessary.

I was referring to Scott's message that included a PDF which showed possibl=
e places in the handling chain where SPF evaluation makes sense.  That by i=
tself could be developed into its own informational document, along with ot=
her things we've talked about including as operational and/or deployment ad=
vice.

We certainly should inventory what we want to put into such a document befo=
re starting.  But it feels to me as though there's quite a bit to write alr=
eady.

I see.  Those figures will have to be manually converted to ascii-art, but
aren't they part of the main protocol?  I'm not an artist, but I volunteer to
do that conversion, if nobody else wants to.  The description of those
figures might be short and clear or lengthy and fuzzy, that's up to how
clever we are.

I'd rather ask the opposite question.  That is, what functionality requires
to preserve the envelope unaltered?  Severe changes for avoiding backscatter
have been carried out on almost every system, in recent years.  Dropping the
envelope sender on external "alias expansion" would probably pass unnoticed,
except for an unprecedented simplification of the SPF receiver-behavior spec.

This is a quick summary of Issue #11.  The issue is based on a 
message posted on February 7 [1].

Scott Kitterman mentioned that maintaining backwards compatiblity is 
a very high priority in the charter [2].  When we re-write text, and 
particularly re-writing entire sections, there is a risk of 
inadvertent functional changes.  He is of the view that it is a 
stylistic issue.  Alessandro Vesely agreed [3].  He also suggested 
adding text (e.g. in Section 1.2) that the function name being used 
is not an API entry point and that such terminology is used for 
clarity and historical reasons only, to which Scott Kitterman agreed.

Murray Kucherawy did not agree that the change threatens backward 
compatibility.  He thinks that it is more than a stylistic point [4] 
and mentioned that adding text to say the "check_host()" thing is an 
illustration point only and not an API definition is probably a 
reasonable compromise.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

Didn't roughly everyone who commented on this agenda item suggest we shouldn't 
do it?  I think it would be more productive to end the session 10 minutes 
early and give people more time for informal discussion.

Dear John,

There were less vocal participants who voiced concerns about ignoring 
this issue.  I'll admit those running MTAs are unlikely to become DDoS 
targets, or notice when they facilitate distributed attacks through 
abuse of SPF macros.  Depending upon implementations, SPF processing 
could permit 400 DNS transactions against victim domains that return 
no-data and still result in message acceptance.  It is also incorrect to 
suggest instantiating supporting records for this type of attack is 
difficult, or requires extensive amounts of malefactor's resources.

A few minor changes could impose reasonable error limits for name an 
no-data errors and thus mitigate this potential threat.

Regards,
Douglas Otis

Some did, yes.  The time was cut considerably since the earlier
agenda, and there is of course no rule that we have to fill every
moment of allotted time.

Hi all,

a virtual room has been reserved on the Meetecho system for Friday's 
SPFBIS WG meeting session.

Access to the on-line session (including audio and video streams) will 
be available at:
http://www.meetecho.com/ietf83/spfbis

The Meetecho session automatically logs you into the standard IETF 
jabber room. So, from there, you can have an integrated experience 
involving all media and allowing you to interact with the room.
Remote participants might also send their own voice to the room, if they 
want to, by either calling a landline phone number, or using our 
embedded VoIP applet (in this last case they are *strongly* advised to 
use a headset).

A tutorial of interactivity features of the tool can be found at:
http://www.meetecho.com/ietf83/tutorials

Cheers,
the Meetecho team

While we wait for the tools team to sort out the datatracker problem, I'm g=
oing to continue revising the draft as an individual submission.

I'm going to add/update the results from my SPF survey first.  And I'll arr=
ange for Scott to get access to my survey data so he can complete his secon=
dary survey.

Dave proposed talking about which questions we'd like to see answered in th=
e experiment document to send to the IESG.  From this, we can figure out if=
 we can already answer those questions or if we need to design and run more=
 surveys.  I propose we start coming up with those questions now.  I'll sta=
rt by tossing these out, and people should alter/chop/augment these entries=
:


-          What is the relative deployment of SPF vs TXT records?

-          How many clients appear to be querying each record type?

-          What are counts on records that are specific to Sender-ID (i.e.,=
 spf2.0/pra) versus others?

-          How much do the Sender-ID results deviate from the SPF results i=
n terms of pass/fail?

-          How often do the validated identifiers differ between SPF and Se=
nder-ID?

-          How many implementations of each of the four RFCs are known to e=
xist?  (This is anecdotal, not survey-based.)

And the following appendix topics:


-          What operational considerations were observed (e.g., firewalls, =
dropped packets for unknown types)?

-          The whole SPF vs. TXT evolution discussion

-          How often were non-SPF records found in TXT queries?

Please bash the list now.

I also need to add a paragraph that describes the surveys we've done.  I'll=
 add that for mine; Philip, please send me a description of yours, on-list =
or off.

Thanks,
-MSK

Hello

[Bcc to spfbis@; please follow up on vmeet@ietf.org]

The purpose of this email is two-fold; provide feedback to the 
Meetecho team and to get feedback about remote participation.

At 15:51 29-03-2012, Meetecho IETF support wrote:
>a virtual room has been reserved on the Meetecho system for Friday's 
>SPFBIS WG meeting session.

First of all, thanks to the Meetecho team for providing the service 
and for responding to the support issues in real-time.  Thanks to 
Murray Kucherawy for being Jabber scribe and Tony Hansen for stepping 
in when Murray presented; and the minute-taker, John Levine (not 
using Etherpad).

Due to the low audio quality, I was not able to tell who was speaking 
at times.  With the video feed, I could see chair (body language 
during the session) and follow the slides.  Meetecho also provides 
the slide number and title over XMPP.

There were around 20 people in the room and over 10 people and the 
Responsible Area Director in the Jabber room.  There was no 
Jabber/chair interaction as there was only one chair in the room.

It's difficult to rate the experience between Meetecho and the legacy 
remote service.  The weak point for Meetecho is audio quality whereas 
the legacy audio has about a 15 second delay.  In this case, my 
trade-off was the desire to follow this session without significant 
audio delay.

The slides used by Meetecho was from the IETF materials web 
page.  The chair called for one or more hums during the meeting.  If 
new text is projected on the screen (questions to hum on, for 
example), that would not be displayed through Meetecho.  As I could 
not see the microphone line, it was not possible to evaluate the 
importance of each issue in real-time.

There are some user interface and user issues when using Meetecho  (I 
mistakenly broadcasted video).  I used a standalone XMPP client 
instead of following the Meetecho (XMPP) chat window.

Could other remote participants for this session please provide feedback on:

  (a) What worked for you?

  (b) What did not work for you?

  (c) Could you follow the WG session?

  (d) Do you feel that you were able to participate adequately in the
      discussions?

  (e) Do you feel that you were able to participate adequately in the
      decision-making?

  (f) Do you have a better understanding of how WG issues can be
      resolved after following this session?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

P.S. Did the Meetecho team volunteer to sponsor some T-Shirts for 
AppsDir? :-)

Not sure I understand this correctly: the output of questions 1 and 3 
can be derived easily by some database queries, but am I correct that 
question 4 requires processing of IP addresses/ranges to see what the 
results are? If so, what is the test set to test with? How do you create 
test sets when include:, redirect: or macro's are used?

Add this one:

- distribution of number of DNS queries required to parse the SPF record.
