I sent a message several hours ago requesting that you help and make 
your working group aware that the NomCom is looking for input from the 
community. This message had a minor error. The NomCom needs to 
receive community input by November 11, 2012. 

The full text of the corrected message is below
---------------------------------------------------

The IETF Nominations Committee (NomCom) continues to seek input from
the IETF Community. The NomCom would greatly appreciate any help you
could provide in making members of your working group aware of ways in
which they can provide valuable feedback to the NomCom.

In order to ensure that your input is received in time to be useful, the 
NomCom needs to receive community feedback on or before Sunday, November 11.

The final list of candidates (as per RFC 5680) that the NomCom is 
considering for open positions can be found at: 
https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/input/

The NomCom will be holding office hours during IETF 85, Monday-
Thursday from 1:00pm to 3:00pm in Room 305. The NomCom welcomes 
comments on specific individuals, as well as general feedback related to 
any of the positions that NomCom is considering.

Note: A list of leadership positions that the NomCom is considering can be 
found at: https://www.ietf.org/group/nomcom/2012/

If the NomCom office hours are inconvenient for you or if you cannot 
attend IETF 85, the NomCom is happy to take community input via email 
to nomcom12 at ietf.org. Additionally, the NomCom is happy to arrange a 
meeting outside of office hours, just send us email and we can set 
something up.

Comments on specific candidates can also be provided to the NomCom
via the web feedback tool:

Hello,

The SPFBIS WG will be meeting in room 209 on Thursday from 17:30 to 
18:30 EST (22:30 - 23:30 UTC).

The agenda for the SPFBIS session is at 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/85/agenda/spfbis/  The meeting 
materials (slides, etc.) can be downloaded from 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/85/materials.html

The audio stream will be accessible at 
http://ietf85streaming.dnsalias.net/ietf/ietf851.m3u  You can join 
the spfbis@jabber.ietf.org Jabber room to participate remotely or use 
Meetecho ( http://www.meetecho.com/ietf85/spfbis ).  It is 
recommended that remote participants test the remote audio stream, or 
Meetecho if you will be using it, before the SPFBIS session.

We need a minute taker and a Jabber scribe for the session.  Please 
volunteer by sending an email to spfbis-chairs@tools.ietf.org.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

That was only part of my argument.  Not only has RFC4408 been successful in supporting development of multiple interoperable implementations (demonstrating that the current organization is a successful one and there is inherent risk in choosing an alternative), I think the primary technical audience for 4408bis will be maintainers of existing implementations.and so the existing structure will be more familiar and a new one will be more likely to cause confusion to them (even if the proposed reorganization might be more clear to a new reader (which I don't think is true of the proposal).

Apologies in advance, I am a newbie with an agenda.

As a fairly neutral observer, I think if both documents are "standards 
track ready" then neither needs to be preferred over the other.

I have read other standards edited by Murray and his reorganization 
certainly makes sense to me, but that is not to say that Scott's latest 
edit is unacceptable.

I think moving SPF forward is important, I think that other work that 
relies upon SPF or even uses of technologies pioneered in the SPF (or 
Sender-ID?) spec(s) may be waiting for this document to work its way 
thru the process to become a standard.

So this is a poor answer to your question, SM.  I do believe that you 
have summarized the discussion very well.

If that were certain, there would be little point in pursuing 
standardization.

Andrew Sullivan posted a message about the session being rescheduled 
for Thursday 8 November, 2012 [1].  I forgot to update the agenda 
at  https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/85/agenda/spfbis/  Apologies 
for causing the confusion.

It's great to see this work making it's way toward an important
milestone, and I wanted to toss in my voice of support.

Given the existing, and growing, reliance on SPF by the email anti-abuse
ecosystem, I think it's clear the experiment succeeded in proving the
merit and utility.

The challenge is in how to build on this success.  I looked to the
charter for guidance, and at this point it suggests we restrict our
energies to fine-tuning and to focus on the major goal of moving onto
the standards track.

Going into Atlanta, it seems that we all share the goal of striking the
right balance necessary for the specification to qualify as an IETF
standard.  It's obvious we don't all agree on the specifics for the
fine-tuning (eg. "the great Macros debate" come to mind), but it helps
that we're all on the same page regarding the next big step.

And that's the lens through which I ask whether the -07 version of the
document or the proposed re-organization get's us closer to acceptance
by the IESG as graduating from the "experiment" phase.  Either way, we
should evaluate them in the context of which will advance the work in a
positive direction.

Looking forward to the conversations in Atlanta (albeit remotely).

I think one of the reasons to pursue standardization is to make it easier for 
other work to build on SPF.  While there's already one approved downref to RFC 
4408 in a standards track RFC, that was done at least in part predicated on 
the assumption that this working group was coming soon to produce a standards 
track document.  Even if no new implementations are done, there is value 
associated with documenting the ~existing protocol as a stable, standardized 
basis for other work.

+1, but precisely among the top concerns I have is where other 
external, non-WG work items, perhaps standard track, Informational or 
BCP track RFCs can alter and define what theRFC4408bis framework, 
process model and design takes.

If RFC ABC (current or pending) says X, and 4408 says Y, than does X 
override Y or alters Y or finally defines what may have been to some 
an ambiguous Y?

I believe this has occurred already.  I think it will help if we can 
focus on a pure SPF first for protocol standardization that has no 
external protocol influence.

I concur that SM's is an adequate summary.

I agree with the reasons Scott stated for pursuing standardization in
general, which is why I started the chartering process in the first place.

I also agree (obviously) that the quality of the document, and what I
believe is the likely result of IESG Evaluation of a proposed standard, is
a concern and therefore the basis for my proposal.

I have trouble believing that the proposed new structure introduces
difficulty for one skilled in the art, or that including a (typical these
days) summary-of-changes appendix is an unreasonable compromise.

I think the questions Dave and Alessandro pose in response to the summary
are entirely on the mark and need to be addressed.

Finally, this has certainly been an informative exercise in drafting
charters.

Can you outline what specific areas the IESG review will focus on or 
look for that may be lacking in RFC4408 or the revised BIS draft at 
this point>?

Not enough RFC 2119 wording?

Too ambiguous?

 From my SE perspective, the issue is what exactly is being proposed? 
  What is new or different?  What will the "reorganization" bring?  Is 
it required for obtaining  IESG, IETG and community passage?   What 
exactly is the problem that the IESG reviewers will recognized and we 
failed to address here?

Thanks Scott, you've helped me get my bearings in terms of eventual =
audience for 4408bis.

While catching up on SPFbis list traffic in prep for the face-to-face =
meeting, I've come to understand that there is a large consumer base of =
4408bis that will likely never find themselves contributing to the IETF. =
 Who are they?

I teach email authentication classes for folks that want to get up to =
speed on how to "do authentication".  IMO, the largest audience for =
4408bis will be people that want to understand how the protocol works =
and as a reference to people that want to write decent SPF records.

In terms of audience, in second place I'd put new developers (who will =
look at 4408bis, 4408, and reference existing implementations).  In last =
place I'd put down everyone that is already involved in the SPF space.

I'd agree with Tim.  However, I think the audience we'll get is a
function of --among other variables-- what we write on that I-D.

IME, mail admins found it painful to adopt SPF when it came out.  I hope
we'll do better.

Andrew et al, my aim is help produce a Standards-track draft that meets =
the needs of people outside of the IETF in as little time as possible, =
and no less.

In response to 3 arguments for proposed reorganization:

- As an implementor I can wade through 4408 with a yellow high-lighter =
and sticky-notes until I get it.
- As someone responsible for teaching others, I would greatly appreciate =
adoption of Murray's proposed reorganization.
- As a rare participant in IETF process, I agree with the stance of "we =
should clean it up now and not later".. pushing through an editorially =
unchanged 4408 seems to me to miss the point of why we're all here =
(regardless of Chartering).

In response to counter-arguments:
- After review, Murray's proposed reorganization does not change the =
protocol, it only makes it easier for non-experts to understand.  =
Perhaps oddly, I don't see the counter-arguments as such.  I see the =
"move SPF from the experimental to the standards track" to mean "prepare =
the document so that it behaves like other standards track documents", =
which Murray's proposed reorganization gets us closer to.
- I do not find the the "accidental protocol changes" argument =
compelling, due to the passion, expertise, and character-by-character =
review that all participants in this WG give to proposed changes.
- Similarly, the need-for-side-by-side-comparison argument is lost on =
me.  Optimizing for easy-review is not on my list of concerns.  I =
understand that there is risk whenever change is introduced, but the =
time to make change is when everyone is paying attention, which is now.

Trade-offs for an acceptable result:
- Commit to not changing the protocol; warts, macros, and all.
- Recognize that the current draft does too much and interleaves too =
many topics to make it a proper IETF standard.  The risk of the IESG =
kicking the draft back is one thing, but we might as well go all in to =
meet perceived IESG requirements AND produce a doc that technology =
generalists can read w/o importing the entire history of SPF into their =
heads.
- Everyone must commit to trying to "sneak in" at least 1 change.  This =
will keep everyone on their toes.

Finally, I'd like to submit that the existing draft has done an =
excellent job of producing interoperable technology within the community =
of email anti-abuse developers.  In the move from Experimental to =
standards-track, though, the community will get larger, and therefore =
the specification needs to be editorially easier to ingest.

See y'all tomorrow,

I have a hard time understanding the focus and goal here for 
reorganization.  Please state the main purpose and goal to adopt 
Murray's proposed changes. What is the benefits?

In my engineering and product development opinion, the proposed 
changes does alter the scope of the SPF framework (relatively to how 
we have been using it for 9+years) and we are living proof that if we 
follow the proposed changes, it will be a very costly design change 
endeavor to the point we would have to consider the pros and cons and 
most likely ignore the new considerations emphasized in the proposed 
changes.  I don't think this can't be "fixed" but it will does 
required accepting the policies already established in SPF and how 
these are functional specifications are translated into standard 
technical specifications fitting into the SMTP state machine as a 5321 
technology, not 5322 technology.   If we are focusing on 5322 
material, then the scope is changing.

I agree with Trent.  Tim's arguments were compelling.

I'll try my best, but keep in mind my "main purpose" is my own.  Main =

orient themselves as to how SPF works.  As an educator, the benefit is =
to have access to a document that students/non-SPF-experts can reference =
while groking the technology (mostly in the context of learning how to =
create and maintain accurate SPF records).

As a bonus, I think the proposed reorganization moves the document =
closer to the "look and feel" of existing RFCs, which gets us all closer =
to the goal of producing a standards-track document.

> In my engineering and product development opinion, the proposed =
changes does alter the scope of the SPF framework (relatively to how we =
have been using it for 9+years) and we are living proof that if we =
follow the proposed changes, it will be a very costly design change =
endeavor to the point we would have to consider the pros and cons and =
most likely ignore the new considerations emphasized in the proposed =

I'm not sure I'm reading the above correctly.  If we stick to editorial =
changes, then the proposed reorg is not a factor in any alteration of =
the scope of the SPF framework.  Rather, the above is expressing that =
the movement of SPF from Experimental to Standards-track will enable =
future SPF-related work (aka alteration of the scope of the SPF =
framework).  If this is what is being expressed, I think I agree.

I think the acceptance of already-established policies is a topic worth =
its own thread.  My experience is that the policy-component of SPF is =
largely misunderstood; documenting all of the various ways that SPF =
policy is consumed would be a fantastic exercise (and not just the =
"HardFail means reject-at-SMTP-time" scenario.. upstream anti-spam =
scanning, as an information feature in reputations systems, in the use =
of mitigating joe-jobs, etc).

A while ago a proposal for an extension was circulated to allow linkage =
between SPF and 5322.=46rom headers.  I believe that proposal was voted =
off the island as out-of-scope item quite some time ago, therefore I'm =
not sure what else there is to say about it.  With my engineering and =
deployment hat on, some stacks only consume SPF results after a message =
has been accepted (post SMTP exchange), so it might be tough to stick to =
5321 if SPFbis wants to paint a complete picture of how SPF is being =
used.

Hello,

This is a reminder about the the SPFBIS WG meeting in room 209 on 
Thursday 8, November from 17:30 to 18:30 EST (22:30 - 23:30 UTC).

The details for remote participation are available at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg02969.html and 
http://www.ietf.org/meeting/85/remote-participation.html

We are still looking a minute taker and a Jabber scribe for the 
session.  Please email spfbis-chairs@tools.ietf.org if you can 
help.  If you would like to volunteer but you don't know what to do, 
send me an email and I'll explain.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

I'm going to take the liberty of top posting (apologies to any this
might offend). I agree overall with Tim's comments (with the exception
of people throwing in changes to test peoples attention) regarding how
to move forward.

I won't be able to make the session tomorrow (not even remotely) as I
will be having surgery tomorrow and will still be under when the
session occurs. For that reason I'd ask that my +1 and agreement with
what Tim has written be considered as if I took this stance during the
session tomorrow.

Thanks.

Mike

Hector,

Murray has stated and several people have stated, they do not seek
protocol change in this reorganization, but to follow Best Current
Practices in writing a RFC.

This needs to look like a proper RFC, rather than a babel tower=8A

We have only one good shot in making SPF a standard, let's not fail due to
poor grammar.

As the person who would have to coordinate Yahoo's implementation if
we were just now implementing SPF, I can say that the reorganization
goes a long way towards making the RFC easier to use. I appreciate that
reorganizations are a technical challenge while they are in progress,
but optimizing for the process right now rather than the many readers
down the road seems to me to be the wrong decision.

As a receiver with SPF support I don't see how the proposed changes
would cause us to change our implementation; could somebody clarify
that for me?

The goal of the working group is to have the SPF protocol adopted as an
Internet Standard. I believe that any changes to the protocol itself have
already been ruled as out of scope, and I'm fine with that.

With a working group full of concerned participants, I'm confident that no
functional changes are going to be introduced, accidentally or otherwise.
Though unlike Mr. Draegen I will not suggest that participants attempt to
do so in order to test each others' vigilance...

This document has to meet the criteria and expectations for a mature
standard, not an experiment. It has to have a clear and logical
organization and not have various considerations and clarifications
sprinkled throughout such that finding them all is an exercise. And the
output of this WG should be in final form, not something that's known to
need further refinement and revision.

+1 for reorganizing. My day job is messaging architect (among other roles)
in the financial sector, we've relied on SPF since 2004, and it is
beneficial to our industry and our customers for SPF to transition from
Experimental to Standard status.

If we are adding stuff, like AUTH-RES in this reorganization, 
deemphasizing Received-SPF and the FAIL (-ALL) policies with exclusive 
rejection operations, then the scope is changing from both a 
publishing standpoint (less confidence in -ALL usage) and a handling 
standpoint (less reason, payoff to process SPF).

SPF is a security protocol and we have yet to resolve or get agreement 
on various issues such as Issue #29 which evolved to #33 and then #58 
regarding local policy.

If I am forced to support a non-rejecting form of -ALL policies, then 
we can no longer support SPF BIS.  Of course, no one is forcing 
anyone, but we do FOLLOW specification and it must be made clear, 
reorganized or not, -ALL does fundamentally includes SMTP REJECTION 
and ACCEPTANCE is an local deployment option, and in my engineering 
opinion, the exception to the expected behavior by the -ALL publisher.

I just don't wish to see SPF relaxed to satisfy other integrated or 
augmented protocols such as reporting and reputation mechanism because 
IMV, it waters it down as a strong _deterministic_ ANTI-SPOOFING protocol.

Due to time constraints, I doubt I will be able to get my input into 
the remote meeting so I am hoping my concerns are heeded in the 
meeting.  Thanks for your consideration.

I think that the main point of a well done specification is to, ehm,
_specify_ the protocol.  Specifying rejection is not the same thing as
emphasizing it.  That is undoubtedly one of the reasons why SPF is
painful to implement:  Mail admins find no precise indications, and when
they try to make sense of some kind of behavior, they are told that
rejection is not specified, because this is a /sender/ policy.

You have probably been told so many many times.

For example, recall Stuart's approach to rejection, described in
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01268.html
Alas, the SPF implementation I use doesn't support that technique:
Doesn't that illustrate one weakness of emphasizing vs specifying?

Each programmer is encouraged to sprout his/her own conception of policy
regulation.  No surprise that there's no match.  Admins configuring
different packages get different views.  I'd not call that a standard.

Separating issues should help resolve them (it was already suggested in
Paris...)

Agreed.  A normative specification of behavior, however, seems to
require its own document.  Personally, I see no point in stuffing
everything into a single RFC, also because there are people who is
interested in just evaluating the check_host() function and it would be
a considerable relief for them if they can do it without having to
consider parts that don't concern them.

It may seem that moving some text to a later section diminishes its
strength.  In fact, RFC 2119 does not mention any relationship between
the meaning of key words and their position in a document.  Admittedly,
it is important for emphasizing.

I'd gladly exchange emphasis for clarity.

Oh Hector, there are just a few hundred miles and time enough to get here...

I prefer if we do not mix an authentication function from a policy
function. These are two different layers.

Some, will be happy to act on the policy hint immediately, some will take
all the policy hints they can find, to make a decision to accept the
message, or not.

If you look at spamassassin
http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_3_x.html (not that it is a
reference), you will see that a fail barely bring 1 point (our of 5), and
funnily enough the soft fail brings more points than a fail!

Hi Elizabeth,

A specific goal of the proposed reorganization was to make no changes to
the bits on the wire.  So your latter observation appears to mean that goal
was met.

Thanks for having a look at it.

I am those who are not convinced that any not bits will not disturb 
the current stable electronic steady state "bits" propagations on the 
wire.

I'm still not clear here. Do you see changes I will need to make to my impl=
ementation
based on the reorganization, or is the concern that new implementations wil=
l be
different than the old ones? If the latter, different in incompatible ways,=
 or
in undesirable ways?

We've discussed off and on the question of if people reject mail based on SPF.  
I thought I'd pass on this anecdote (I know it provides no statistical insight 
into the question, but found it sufficiently amusing to pass on).

Microsoft is publishing an invalid DNS record (exceeds the DNS lookup limit).  
For reasons that are beyond me, they do this from time to time.  This morning 
I was treated to an irate email from a Microsoft employee complaining that my 
SPF record validation tool (http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html) was 
causing Microsoft email to be rejected and demanding I fix the problem with my 
system.

My reply was probably not a polite as it could have been, but I did suggest 
that perhaps if Microsoft was having trouble sending mail due to SPF failures, 
they ought to look in the mirror.

So this was a case of reject on permerror, which is the default for a lot of 
the open source implementations.

I'm not seeing a natural place for this issue in the spfbis 
specification organization that Murray has proposed, other than perhaps 
some general statements in the early input/output/context section that 
should warn that spf is "merely" a component of a larger engine.

But maybe a more extended and even normative discuss in:

    Section 8: Details about Outputs, Pedagogy, Interpretation

Or perhaps a separate operational considerations document?

I am inclined to think that this topic is part of the
operational/applicability statement work for which we are not
chartered, but that people have suggested as a natural thing to do
once our current work is completed.

I'd be very interested in arguments about why that is _not_ the case.  

Best,

I agree, but I also think that if advice like this belongs outside our
single current deliverable, then we need to revisit the split topic that
received no support yesterday.

To put it another way: Why should this topic go in an external document,
while other what-to-do-with-a-given-result discussion stays in the main
draft?

Just to clarify: I actually don't care which path we take, but we need to
be consistent.

That's an interesting argument.  What about a document that was
something like "BCP for SPF reciever processing"?  That'd still be

content in RFC 4408.  Thoughts?

Again, I'm just asking: I'm not trying to promote or discourage any
particular option, just understand our options.

I suspect that in this case it was an issue of team "left hand" not having

silo'd enterprise divisions for quite a while, this is far more common than
not...I doubt that all the SPF pedagogy in the world won't penetrate such
inter-departmental gaps.

in case I needed to say it explicitly:  I am assuming that handling this 
problem does /not/ require changing the protocol.  No normative change 
at all.

I assume it's merely a matter of documenting good practices.

I agree that no normative changes are appropriate here.

Maybe all we need to do is encourage adoption of RFC6652 by both senders
and receivers?

Are there operational cases besides this one that we would put in such a
document, without also moving all the receiver advice from the main
document?

If there's only this one exceptional use case, I'd lean toward saying it's
not worthwhile.  But if we revisit the splitting decision, then there's
enough meat to proceed.

Scott,

Issues on how to handle errors was catalogged and I had proposed the 
language be to treat an error as NONE but also monitoring it, demote 
it to a failed state:

       result = NONE
       if error count > some_error_threshold then
          result = FAIL

In other words, the receiver "SHOULD" have the right to control the 
abuse on his system even from good intention, but broken clients, by 
monitoring their frequency and burden on the system and changing a 
PASS status to REJECT.

Not saying we are doing this for SPF, but its a consideration we are 
doing for our SPF implementation. But I think if SPF people are 
already doing this, then these insights should be documented in the 
protocol standard.

Hi, It depends on how you (SPF deployment) are handling -ALL policies. 
  To make a long story relatively short, lets ask this:

Is your SPF implementation or site deployment rejecting or 
accepting+marking the SPF failed message (failed per the Domain -ALL 
policy)?

Unresolved issues that lead to the documentation impasse:

Issue #29 - defining what "Mark the message" means.  There is no RFC 
2119 language for marking, but there is for Rejecting the message.

Issue #33 - attempts to illustrate the security loophole when a 
receiver accepts the message but does not mark and/or separating the 
mail into a "Junk/Spam" user folder.

In my view, the proposed BIS changes and now reorganization will 
emphasize accept and marking instead of rejecting the message 
operations to help support new/future RFC5322-based Reporting and 
Reputation Protocols.  This is all good as a separate document.  But 
need to be careful for what you ask for because it can be a source to 
continue with the required changes in BIS.

The problem, I guess, at least one for our product, it currently only 
supports SPF rejection for -ALL policy.  If we want to support BIS 
with any of the new goodies, then we need to change our software to 
separate the accepted, marked (issue #29) SPF failed mail otherwise we 
have the security loophole (issue #33).

Thats not to suggest a lack of support for a BIS (reorganized or not), 
if not already understood, the concern is that rejection is not going 
to promoted anymore in the name of reporting/reputation.    Again, as 
long as the option is there, we are still compatible.  So BIS for me 
should first work out SPF itself as a pure protocol with none of the 
integrated protocols design semantics.

Thanks

Something needs fixing, since it doesn't work as intended by the user.

The way large organizations delegate responsibility is not matched by
include mechanisms.  Include covers mailing services.  I guess domains
that use them have an agreement with one such services, possibly two if
they care about failure tolerance.  We had this discussion already:
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01777.html

I know no software that implements SPF publishing for such companies.

That can be relaxed even more: it is enough that we produce a consistent
spec.

Hello,

Thanks to John Levine for taking the minutes for IETF 85.  If I am 
not mistaken, Tim Draegen was the Jabber scribe.  Thanks for helping out.

You can view it at 
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/85/minutes/minutes-85-spfbis  There 
are links to the audio recording and Jabber logs at 
http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/85/spfbis.html

I'll go through the audio recording and I may post some further 
notes.  There is also the Meetecho recording at 
http://ietf85.conf.meetecho.com/index.php/Recorded_Sessions

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

   Do we want to split the document into a specification and an
   operations guide?  Hum roughly even in the room, strong opposition on
   the jabber.

I wish to clarify that the 2nd document of the split was meant to be an
applicability statement, normative on receiver behavior, rather than an
operations guide.  I think that was fairly clear in the room, not sure
about the jabber.  (Would that explain the difference in volume?)

Section 7, *Recording The Result* talks about results in general.

The following sentence in 7.1, *The Received-SPF Header Field* might
generate confusion, as it seems to imply that the "helo" identity is
mandatory while "MAIL FROM" IS OPTIONAL:

   That is, at least "client-ip", "helo", and, if the
   "MAIL FROM" identity was checked, "envelope-from".

The recommendation to use one field for each identity that was checked
has disappeared.  (Why?)  It can only be inferred from the examples.

The second paragraph of Section 2.2, *The MAIL FROM Identity* has a
couple of issues.  One is that it says:

                In this case, there is no explicit sender mailbox, and
   such a message can be assumed to be a notification message from the
   mail system itself.

The cited section of RFC 5321 says exactly the opposite.  That is, if
the message is a compliant notification, you can assume that the
envelope sender is empty, not the other way around.

Anyway,it is the next sentence that might cause some real states of
confusion about identities:

                        When the reverse-path is null, this document
   defines the "MAIL FROM" identity to be the mailbox composed of the
   local-part "postmaster" and the "HELO" identity (which might or might
   not have been checked separately before).

If that were a definition, it should have been given in Section 1.3.3,
*Mail From Definition*.  Isn't that cumbersome?  Does it make any real
protocol difference if we simply say that when the "MAIL FROM" identity
is empty, verifying helo raises from SHOULD to MUST?

Consider:

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

Does that apply the definition correctly?

Where the current text is unclear, please provide a recommended alternative.

Changing from "Use helo to construct an artificial mail from in this manner" to 
"If mail from is empty helo checking is mandatory" is a protocol change.  It 
may usually (and perhaps always) achieve the same result, but I think it's 
precisely the kind of change we need to be careful about making due to risks 
of inadvertent consequences.

I understood that from listening to the audio stream, so no it wouldn't have

The user for SPF is the ADMD owner, not the individual mail sender/receiver so 
my anecdote offers no insight into if SPF is working as intended by the user.

There are many large organizations that have successfully implemented SPF, so 
I definitely don't understand what you're talking about here?

I agree that the first "if" referring to MAIL FROM is a little odd, at
least without the surrounding context.  But I also agree with Scott: Please
post some specific suggested changes, like:

OLD:
blah blah

NEW:
blah2 blah2

It's much easier to see what you have in mind then.

Changes are as follows (see also xml patch attached).  I also reword
the previous protocol change (exemption when useless) as with no
commas the "by applying" might be associated to the helo check inside
the "if".

ORIGINAL (4408)
 [RFC2821] allows the reverse-path to be null (see Section 4.5.5 in
 RFC 2821).  In this case, there is no explicit sender mailbox, and
 such a message can be assumed to be a notification message from the
 mail system itself.  When the reverse-path is null, this document
 defines the "MAIL FROM" identity to be the mailbox composed of the
 localpart "postmaster" and the "HELO" identity (which may or may not
 have been checked separately before).

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

OLD (bis-08):
 SPF verifiers MUST check the ""MAIL FROM" identity if a completed
 "HELO" check has not reached a definitive policy result by applying
 the check_host() function to the "MAIL FROM" identity as the
 <sender>.

 [RFC5321] allows the reverse-path to be null (see Section 4.5.5 in
 [RFC5321]).  In this case, there is no explicit sender mailbox, and
 such a message can be assumed to be a notification message from the
 mail system itself.  When the reverse-path is null, this document
 defines the "MAIL FROM" identity to be the mailbox composed of the
 local-part "postmaster" and the "HELO" identity (which might or might
 not have been checked separately before).

NEW:
 SPF verifiers MUST check the "MAIL FROM" identity, by applying the
 check_host() function to the "MAIL FROM" identity as the <sender>,
 except for the two cases following:

 o  A final policy decision has already been reached by completing a
    check on the "HELO" identity.  In this case, unless its result
    will be recorded (Section 7), it is useless to check the "MAIL
    FROM" identity.

 o  SMTP allows the "MAIL FROM" identity to be null (Section 4.5.5 in
    [RFC5321]).  In this case, SPF verifiers MUST check the "HELO"
    identity instead.  According to Section 4.3, that implies
    synthesizing a mailbox composed of the local-part "postmaster" and
    the "HELO" identity.  Note that such check might have been carried
    out separately before.

An example where the achieved results differ is given above.  The new
wording doesn't allow unintended interpretations, hopefully:  That's
what I'm asking the list to verify.

> about making due to risks of inadvertent consequences.

Agreed.  On the other hand, ill-defined rules bear the risk of latent
misinterpretations, whose consequences may show up anytime.

BTW, the "exemption when useless" isn't in RFC 4408 either.

I meant using "exists".  That implies managing a DNS, or outsourcing
to someone who does.

I have no direct experience of how large companies structure
authorizations to send out mail directly.  Do they fully specify what
are the procedures for granting send-permissions?  Even if ISO 9000
compliance may require them to do so, by managing large blocks of
addresses in included records they can be more flexible, and sloppy.

I guess inhaus delegations are not quite comparable to RIRs
management.  Do they use specific software for that?

I would add (with a text change above to indicate three cases):

    o  Some other authentication/authorization check is made that does not
       require SPF to be applied any longer.  A good example is checking
       the RCPT TO address for local user existence prior to performing
       SPF checks (or any other DNS related protocol check). In 
practice, this
       consideration can reduce DNS/SPF overhead by the same 
percentage as
       the RCPT TO rejections detected, in some field observations as 
high
       as 60% reduction in SPF necessity for the current session.

Keep in mind this optimization suggestion is on par with RFC 2821/5321 
section 3.3 regarding checking the acceptability of the reverse-path 
(5321.MAIL FROM).

    3.3 Mail Transactions

    .....

    Despite the apparent scope of this requirement, there are
    circumstances in which the acceptability of the reverse-path may
    not be determined until one or more forward-paths (in RCPT
    commands) can be examined.  In those cases, the server MAY
    reasonably accept the reverse-path (with a 250 reply) and then
    report problems after the forward-paths are received and
    examined.  Normally, failures produce 550 or 553 replies.

For example, if your SMTP site on average rejects RCPT TO 60% of the 
time, then delaying the SPF processing on MAIL FROM (and/or HELO) 
until RCPT TO is determined will reduce the SPF, thus the DNS overhead 
by 60% as well.

These are the sort of insights accumulated from the 9+ years of 
experimenting that will benefit the BIS work item.

My understanding is that in large organizations, the actual SPF records are 
typically managed by the DNS team like any other DNS record.  The added 
complexity is that the messaging team needs to collect data on what domains 
are sent from what MTAs (including third parties) and coordinate with the DNS 
team to keep the DNS records up to date.  In some cases they'll use include: 
to allow different segments of the the sending infrastructure to be managed 
independently.

Your proposal does, in fact, change the protocol, if only slightly.  A 
constructed "MAIL FROM" check (which is what's in RFC 4408 and the current 
4408bis draft) is not, in my opinion, the same as a HELO check.  How about 
this instead:

    If the <sender> is null (see Section 4.5.5 of [RFC5321]),  such a message
    can be assumed to be a notification message from the mail system itself.
    The "MAIL FROM" in such cases is constructed using the local-part
    "postmaster" and the "HELO" name for the domain part of the "MAIL FROM".

That's correct.  This was discussed on the list before the change was made.

The second sentence sounds like it could be a description of something
being done by the agent sending the message, rather than the module doing
SPF evaluation.

I suggest:

If the <sender> is null (see Section 4.5.5 of [RFC5321]), such a message
can be assumed to be an notification message from the mail system itself.
The module doing SPF evaluation should instead act as if the "MAIL FROM"
address consisted of the local-part "postmaster" and domain part set to the
parameter that was passed with the "HELO" or "EHLO" command.

This could probably be fixed just by sticking commas after "identity" and
"result".

I would strike the last sentence:

"A final policy decision has already been reached by completing a check on
the "HELO" identity, unless the result of this check is to be recorded (see
Section 7)."

It's not necessary to make the "useless" point.

Can you give an example of a possible interpretation of the OLD text that
is not possible with the NEW text?  I'm still having trouble seeing the
problem we're trying to fix here.

In particular, this bullet point does not describe a case in which the MAIL
FROM check would be skipped; rather it describes how to go about doing it
for the "null" case, which doesn't flow from the proposed earlier paragraph.

This suggestion made me go back and do some reading.  Others should pipe up
if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that although RFC4408 and the current bis
document probably imply that rejection is meant to be done inline with the
HELO or MAIL FROM command, it doesn't actually say that anywhere.  For all
we know, the proposed rejection replies come in response to any of HELO,
MAIL FROM, one or more of the RCPT TOs, or even DATA, and still meets the
spec(s).

Should we say explicitly that although inline rejection is common, the
rejection can be done anywhere in the sequence based on local policy
requirements (i.e., other checks)?  Or is being ambiguous actually
appropriate here?

I'm not certain this is the right place to put this paragraph or one like
it, but it does seem to be a reasonable suggestion, especially if other
operators on this list have similar practices and data to share.

This suggestion made me go back and do some reading.=A0 Others should pipe =
up if I&#39;m wrong, but it seems to me that although RFC4408 and the curre=

th the HELO or MAIL FROM command, it doesn&#39;t actually say that anywhere=
.=A0 For all we know, the proposed rejection replies come in response to an=
y of HELO, MAIL FROM, one or more of the RCPT TOs, or even DATA, and still =
meets the spec(s).<br>
<br>Should we say explicitly that although inline rejection is common, the =
rejection can be done anywhere in the sequence based on local policy requir=

MAIL FROM and <sender> should be swapped, in that text.  <sender> is
the argument of check_host(), and can never be null.  MAIL FROM can be
null, or can be constructed otherwise by the SMTP client.

BTW, rather than repeating the following for each identity, we should
state once, in Section 2.0, that:

   Checking the "X" identity means applying the check_host() function
   to the "X" identity as the <sender>, for "X" = "MAIL FROM", "HELO".

Now for that spurious definition.  Since we apply a function, its
parameter is a dummy variable.  Thus, to say

   define MAIL FROM := HELO;
   MF-result = check_host(MAIL FROM);

 is the same as saying

   MF-result = check_host(HELO);

 except for the silent dropping of the spurious definition before
reporting the SPF result --which is what I'm trying to correct.

Thus, what remains is to say that that result is what should be used
to make policy decisions.  We /have/ to be ambiguous here, because we
don't specify that part.  In no case we could prevent a receiver from
behaving specially when MAIL FROM is null.  So what we really would
have said is that for simplistic policies that just consider a single
SPF result, such result, which is normally check_host(MAIL FROM), is
check_host(HELO) when MAIL FROM is null.  Correct?

How about:

  If the "MAIL FROM" identity is null (see Section 4.5.5 of
  [RFC5321]) the principal SPF result is obtained by checking the
  "HELO" identity instead.

Agreed, we could put such kind of explanations to the /changes/
appendix, whenever we write it.

On reporting the result, according to the existing definition, the
verifier shall tag it as the result of checking the "MAIL FROM" identity.

Albeit correct, that is outside SPF.  We could as well say that SPF
can be checked after DNSBLs.  It sounds like uselessly complicating
the subject, since we don't actually specify receiver policy.  Recall
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00494.html
(part of the "exemption when useless" discussion).

I never did agree or buy into the lack of a receiver policy argument. 
  This is a protocol.  You can do a State Machine flow chart!  There 
are boundary conditions and limits and very little options at each 
state that one can do. You can literally write down a SPF process 
model with its input arguments and expected outputs - plug and play 
black box function generator!

Reminder, SPF is a significant DNS overhead protocol with continued 
unknown query waste of domains.  If SPF implementations can reduce the 
need to query DNS by 60% (each site will vary), then it would be 
prudent to leverage this potential reduction in overhead and SPF 
waste.  This benefits the SPF network as a whole.

The document would gain clarity if the MAIL FROM was called something else.=
 It entertains confusion with the mail from aka RFC5321from.

Can't we call it something like the spf identity and defines what it is: rf=
c5321from if present otherwise postmaster@<helo string> ?

This suggestion made me go back and do some reading.  Others should pipe up=
 if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that although RFC4408 and the current bis=
 document probably imply that rejection is meant to be done inline with the=
 HELO or MAIL FROM command, it doesn't actually say that anywhere.  For all=
 we know, the proposed rejection replies come in response to any of HELO, M=
AIL FROM, one or more of the RCPT TOs, or even DATA, and still meets the sp=

Should we say explicitly that although inline rejection is common, the reje=
ction can be done anywhere in the sequence based on local policy requiremen=

I'm not certain this is the right place to put this paragraph or one like i=

reverse-path/address, return-path/address are well understood SMTP terms.

Others should pipe up if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that although RFC4408 and the current bis document probably imply that rejection is meant to be done inline with the HELO or MAIL FROM command, it doesn't actually say that anywhere.  For all we know, the proposed rejection replies come in response to any of HELO, MAIL FROM, one or more of the RCPT TOs, or even DATA, and still meets the spec(s).

I've always assumed it could be done at any time and I think when you do it is 
really a local configuration matter and not something we need to explicitly 
discuss.  Postfix, as an example, will, by default, not reject until after Mail 
>From even if it's based on data from connect or HELO as a work around for 
interoperability issues seen with other MTAs (I don't know what issues or what 
MTAs).

It doesn't matter.  With some VERY limited exceptions that's what's documented 
in RFC 4408 and what we are chartered to update.  Let's hold discussions about

We did take a stab at doing something like this in one draft and it turned out 
to be more confusing.  Mail From is reasonably well understood and we have a

Does that include AUTH-RES?  DKIM?  DMARC? and anything related to 
reporting and reputation, like SPAMHAUS or gearing up for it? IOW, the 
Reorganization?

I believe I have been advocating nothing but the pure codification of 
this SPF protocol and implementation insights based on the 9+ years of 
field operations for the BIS which I believe is on par for standard 
(or typical) BIS work.

DKIM is not part of the 4408bis work.  DMARC is not part of the 
4408bis work.  I haven't seen any messages on the SPFBIS mailing list 
about doing reputation work.

Dear colleagues,

At IETF 85, the WG met and rapidly came to what appeared to your
chairs as consensus on next steps.  They are these:

    1.  Perform a diff between the most recent WG document (08) and
    RFC 4408.  This allows us to document precisely any differences
    between the current state of work and the starting point of the
    WG.  This is a step we undertake for defensive purposes only, in
    case later people ask us about the steps in the reorganization.
    We ask the editor, Scott Kitterman, to perform this and send the
    output to the mailing list (for the archives).

    2.  Scott, in collaboration with Murray Kucherawy (who proposed
    the original reorganization), undertakes the reorganization and
    creates the next WG document.  This reorganization should have
    _no_ text changes in it apart from moving text around.  A note
    should be added to that version of the draft to indicate that it
    only reorganizes the text of 08.  This will form the WG draft 09.
    This version must be uploaded as 09 in order to provide the
    necessary chain in the tracking tools, so that we can demonstrate
    that the reorganization did not change the substance of 08.

    3.  Scott updates the 09 immediately with any pending substantive
    changes he has lined up.  This forms the WG draft 10, and is the
    basis for any further work.

There was extremely little support for splitting the draft or in any
way taking on another document right now.  Given that and the WG
charter, the chairs believe that there is no reason to split the
draft, and we do not intend to follow that course.  Since there was no
active decision at IETF 85 to split the draft, there is no
confirmation of this decision needed here (we're continuing with our
existing path); but in the spirit of confirming meeting decisions on
the list, if you have strong arguments in favour of splitting the
draft you need to make them right now.  While you're doing it, you
need to demonstrate that others are willing to work on such a split
and to demonstrate that there is someone with the required skill,
time, and interest in working on a split.  This demonstration needs to
include support from the editor of the current WG draft, since he will
inevitably need to do work as well.

This message confirms our impression of what transpired in the WG
meeting.  We ask the editor to proceed on the above lines.

Best regards,

SM/AS, as chairs.
