Hello,

As part of IETF 86 planning working groups are asked if they need a 
slot on the agenda.  There is a conflict list, i.e. other WG sessions 
which SPFBIS participants need to attend.  Please post your preference.

Note that this does not mean that there will be a SPFBIS session at IETF 86.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

It's hard to say whether we'll need one at this point.  It depends on how
the merged draft work shakes out and how the WG responds to it.

I suggest requesting a one-hour or 1.5-hour slot (since we have to do that
by Monday), and canceling it if it's not needed, while we work out the
above question.  I'll be reviewing Scott's diff this weekend before he
posts it.

My own priority conflict list is:

1: appsawg, weirds (chairing those), repute
2: saag, httpauth, httpbis, websec, precis, dnsop, v6ops, geopriv, xmpp,
dane, oauth, dnsext
3: All BoFs

Yes.

BTW, the working group has been using a meeting slot only when issues 
cannot be resolved through the mailing list.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts director=
ies.
 This draft is a work item of the SPF Update Working Group of the IETF.

	Title           : Sender Policy Framework (SPF) for Authorizing Use of Dom=
ains in Email, Version 1
	Author(s)       : Scott Kitterman
	Filename        : draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-09.txt
	Pages           : 73
	Date            : 2013-01-15

Abstract:
   Email on the Internet can be forged in a number of ways.  In
   particular, existing protocols place no restriction on what a sending
   host can use as the "MAIL FROM" of a message or the domain given on
   the SMTP HELO/EHLO commands.  This document describes version 1 of
   the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) protocol, whereby an ADMD can
   explicitly authorize the hosts that are allowed to use its domain
   names, and a receiving host can check such authorization.

   This document obsoletes RFC4408.

This is the joint reorg draft that Murray and I were supposed to do based on 
the last meeting (as confirmed on the list).  I stuck to his outline and kept 
the text changes to either editorial changes or the text needed to glue 
different parts together in the new organization.

There are two things I didn't do from Murray's draft that I'd propose for -10 
and will do unless anyone objects:

Combine Appendix H and Appendix I.

Add this security consideration:

11.7.  Delivering Mail Producing a 'Fail' Result	 		
 		
   Operators that choose to deliver mail for which SPF produces a "fail"	 		
   result need to understand that they are admitting content that is	 		
   explicitly not authorized by the purported sender.  While there are	 		
   known failure modes that can be considered "false negatives", the	 		
   distincg choice to admit those messages increases end-user exposure	 		
   to likely harm.  This is especially true for domains belonging to	 		
   known good actors that are typically well-behaved; unauthorized mail	 		
   from those sources might well be subjected to much higher skepticism	 		
   and content analysis.	 		
 		
   SPF does not, however, include the capacity for identifying good	 		
   actors from bad ones, nor does it handle the concept of known actors	 		
   versus unknown ones.  Those notions are out of scope for this	 		
   specification.

Then it's back to the regularly scheduled work on open issues:

Dear colleagues,

Please register any such objections in the next few days, so that we
can proceed with the WG effort.  It's hard to see what would be
objectionable about those proposals, so we do not want to waste a lot
of time on waiting.  We'd like to resume the earlier pace that the WG
achieved, and finish up the document in good time.

Best regards,

Andrew (as chair/goad)

   This seems to blame operators too much, IMHO, for a practice their
customers demand. A possible re-working:
"
" Many operators have found that email for which SPF produces a "fail"
" result is nonetheless email which end-users depend upon receiving,
" and deliver it despite the "fail" result. This practice is permitted.
" There are things the end-user can do which will distinguish SPF
" "fail" email which they do want from SPF "fail" email they don't
" want.
" 
" Nonetheless, there are SPF publishers that really want an SPF "fail"
" to prevent delivery. SPF does not and cannot promise that. However,
" both operators and end-users should clearly understand that most
" SPF "fail" emails deserve to be rejected, and a significant number
" of them can cause harm. SPF "fail" emails from senders which are
" typically well-behaved probably deserve much higher skepticism
" and automated content-analysis.

   (I don't feel especially strongly about this. Use as you see fit.)

Operators are ultimately the ones that implement local policy, so I think
it's reasonable to place the focus there.  It's unlikely that end users
will read this and/or try to understand it.  That said, I don't have a
problem with the alternative text proposed by John.

I think the point in the last paragraph of the proposed 11.7 needs to
remain, however.

Good. I'd s/purported sender/identified ADMD/.

Usually, a false positive is a false alarm, whereas a failure to
notice a malicious attempt would be called a false negative.  We may
point out that for SPF that is reversed, since failed authorizations
are marked with a negative sign...  But can't we avoid such parlance
and be specific?  For example:

   While there are known transfer modes, such as forwarding, whereby
   legitimate mail can get a "fail" result, indiscriminately admitting
   non-authorized messages increases end-user exposure to likely harm.

Fluffy...

Right.  But reversing that argument makes it constructive.  Consider:

   In such cases, the ability to discern good actors from bad ones
   has to be found in tools different from SPF.

That sounds like "don't be fooled into rejecting messages just because
they got a fail".  I don't think such advice is necessary.

The purpose of this security consideration is to warn operators that
by delivering such messages they place themselves on the side of the
actual sender, so they had better make sure it is a good actor before
doing so.

That seems correct, possibly except numerical considerations.  But
then end-users don't happen to notice SPF results...

"Senders" is ambiguous in that context.  You mean the identified ADMD,
not the actual sender, don't you?

With those 21 addresses, the DNS record seems to get near to the UDP
packet size limit.  On a TCP connection, one can return a gabillizion
IPs from an A record lookup.  Assuming each IPv4 address increases the
record size by 16 bytes, +20% TCP overhead, at 100Mbps, I reckon a
whole /8 could get through before the 20-sec time limit elapses.

Is that worth an additional paragraph in Section 3.4 and 5.3?  I
attempt that in the attached patch.  Please comment on it.

What if we just changed the last sentence before the first hunk of your patch

I think that accomplishes the clarification you are after without the tutorial 
on how DNS works.

It doesn't, because they are actually two queries.  For example, on
that base I'd conclude that the record short-spf-record.tana.it is
perfectly good.  Indeed, http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html
tells me the "SPF record passed validation test with pySPF", with no
complaints.

http://dmarcian.com/spf-survey/short-spf-record.tana.it instead says:
"WARNING: DNS: Truncated UDP Reply, SPF records should fit in a UDP
packet, retrying TCP"   -- BTW, I'm amazed at how sharply the
flattening comes out in that case.  Bravo!

I think Tim's diagnosis is correct, but cannot find a statement in the
spec that supports it, since all records returned by the TXT query (1
record, that is) fit UDP size...

That's because (surprise to me) the server that hosts that now supports EDNS 
0, it was able to do it all in UDP.  I'll fix that.

OK.  How about:

Yeah, that's the idea, more or less... I think that the reliability
gain obtained by UDP optimization is the same for TXT records as for
any other type.  In that case, I could try and reword the whole
paragraph so as to avoid that dangling "more reliable", and s/a single
UDP packet/UDP packets/.

You didn't say anything about the paragraph proposed for Section 5.3,
did you?  That was:

 An UDP DNS reply might hold 20 type A records, or 10 type AAAA ones,
 but is likey to get truncated at quantities near or above those
 values, and thus require fallback to TCP connections.  Publishers are
 encouraged to carefully test their SPF records in such cases.

Besides repeating the same concept, the latter also gives rough
estimates.  The other types (mx and ptr) already have their own limits.

Which is why there's no 2119 mustard around the point.  People are, but we 
shouldn't require people to be experts in DNS to write an SPF record.  The 
guidance to fit into UDP is in RFC 4408 and I think that extending the advice 
to include mentioning other records is a reasonable thing to do.

I hesitate to give specific guidance because there are quite a number of 
variables involved.

With the change in the first paragraph, it seemed to me the change for the 
second was no longer needed.

I see no reason this document should have recommendations about how to
run DNS in general.  There already are documents about message size
and the DNS.

Moreover, the entire thing seems to hang on the dubious principle that
you can usefully operate on the Internet today without EDNS0.  

Best,

It is not rare to see problems due to TCP fallback being blocked.  If EDNS0 
were ubiquitous, I don't think it would come up.  It's most reliable to fit an 
answer into a UDP packet still seems to me to be good advice (and is 
consistent with RFC 4408).

This is true, but if we're going to say anything here it ought to be,
"Blocking TCP fallback violates the DNS protocol and may negatively
affect SPF."  It's a flat-out violation of the protocol, and always
has been.  If people aren't going to use the protocol we depend on,
we're screwed anyway.

Unfortunately not true, as we have learned at length with DNSSEC
deployment.  The problem is mostly that people have extremely
incorrect ideas about how big their buffers are, and misstate them in
their EDNS0 buffer parameters.  This causes EDNS0 to fail sometimes
even where it's available.  Again, however, I think, this is stuff
that simply doesn't belong in the SPF document, because DNSOP is
already busy explaining (or has already explained) all of this in
various places.  If we just need references, I'll dig them up (I guess
we probably do, so I suppose I just volunteered to do work).

I am perfectly happy if the document says, "This will be most reliable
if all responses fit inside the traditional DNS UDP limit.  Note that
DNSSEC may strain that limit anyway."  More than that seems to me to
be borrowing trouble.

Best,

I think the change I proposed earlier is in line with this (slightly modified 
here):

> Note that when computing the sizes for queries of the TXT format, one has to
> take into account the size of records returned with the any associated
> query, including any other TXT records published at the domain name.

The total discussion on record length would be:

   The published SPF record for a given domain name SHOULD remain
   small enough that the results of a query for it will fit within
   512 octets.  This UDP limit is defined in <xref target="RFC1035"/>
   section 2.3.4.  This will keep even older DNS implementations from
   falling over to TCP.  Since the answer size is dependent on many
   things outside the scope of this document, it is only possible to
   give this guideline: If the combined length of the DNS name and
   the text of all the records of a given type is under 450 characters,
   then DNS answers ought to fit in UDP packets.  Note that when
   computing the sizes for queries of the TXT format, one has to take
   into account any other TXT records published at the domain name.
   Records that are too long to fit in a single UDP packet could be
   silently ignored by SPF verifiers due to firewall and other issues
   that cause DNS over TCP to be less reliable than DNS over UDP.

   Note that when computing the sizes for queries of the TXT format, one has
   to take into account the size of records returned with any associated
   query, including any other TXT records published at the domain name.

This is very similar to what's in RFC 4408.  We could also add something about 
DNSSEC here and the references you are going to dig up if you want.

Apart from saying "450 octets (practically speaking, ASCII
characters)" here, I'm completely content with this.  I don't think
the additional references are needed.  People operating DNS services
need to pay attention to those other RFCs anyway, IMO, and the
references will just be clutter.  Emphatically, though, this is no
hat: if people feel otherwise, I'd like them to provide text with the
required references.  (If people want me to dig them up, I will.  But
I'm not going to extra work when I don't think it needed.)

Thanks.   I think that's enough.

What does /SPF record/ mean there?  Is that a TXT record beginning
with "v=spf1" or any DNS record queried during an SPF evaluation?

How about:

     For efficiency and security reasons, the DNS records that a
     domain publishes for SPF  --that is, the policy record itself as
     well as any record it references even indirectly-- are subject
     to size restrictions.

It may make sense to relax that to 4096 or whatever number we deem to
be safe nowadays, accepting Andrew's offer to dig up a suitable ref.
(Doing so would enable publishers to replace IP4s with longer IP6s
without increasing the total number of queries, for example.)

I'd rephrase the latter sentence as:

     For TXT records in particular, especially the first one, one has
     to take into account the size of any other TXT records published
     at the same domain name.

Although that is  a /could be/, not a MAY, would we consider an
implementation to be conforming if it aborts SPF evaluation when it
finds unreasonably long records?  That's why I mentioned security in
the proposed rewording above.

I don't think this helps.  This isn't a formal restriction, but an operational 
limitation that's inferred from the way DNS works (or not) today.  There's no 
MUST about UDP packet size and I don't think there should (SHOULD) be.

No.  I think we decided it wasn't safe to do this yet.  512 octets is still 
demonstrably more reliable so we want it if we can get it.  For a variety of 
reasons, this will probably change, but I don't think we can write the spec 
banking on the pace of that change.

First doesn't matter.  TXT records are returned in an arbitrary sequence so 
first is a meaningless concept.

Record size is not, so far as I'm aware, a security issue.  To the extent a 
potential DoS threat exists, it's based on numbers of queries generated.  If 
you think we need to add a new security consideration for maximum record size, 
I'd like to see the threat analysis behind that recommendation.

Why does it matter?  Regardless of the RRTYPE used (though it's always TXT
now in this document), the size caveat applies.  But if you prefer to avoid
confusion with the deprecated SPF RRTYPE, we could change "SPF record" to
"SPF policy".

I don't think this adds any clarity, and as Andrew mentioned it gets into
DNS esoterica that probably don't belong here.  I believe we already refer
normatively to RFC1035; we don't need to restate much of what it and its
later friends said.

If we say 4096, we also have to talk about EDNS0, because RFC1035 says
512.  I don't want to drag in a ton of DNSOP WG references if we can avoid
it.

Just to clarify here: Is the security reason alluded to the fact that SPF
can't be evaluated if TCP fallback occurs, or is there some other threat?

In any case, maybe it's safer to drop the specific 512 reference, and just
talk more generally about avoiding truncation that would force fallback to
TCP, which may not be possible.  If people are worried about that, they can
read up on it in RFC1035.  (We could include a reference to that section.)

To be precise, even if the combined length is over 450 characters, you're
still inside a UDP packet easily.  It's the RFC1035 limit you hit, which is
way smaller than the UDP limit.

Given that they can be returned in arbitrary order, I think this only
complicates the matter for the reader.

We'd need to define "unreasonably long".

I'm not sure "silently ignored" is right.  Why would an SPF verifier
silently ignore a reply that comes back with the truncation bit on, for
example?  As I understand it, you always get the count of available
answers, and then as many of the matching RRs that fit in the reply.  So if
there are two or more answers, the one starting "v=spf1" might not be
included in the set, but if it is, you're guaranteed that it's all there.

But all of that is detail about "avoid truncation" that we don't really
need to provide, IMHO.

No, I meant including other record types, such as type-A, that can be
triggered by an "a:" mechanism.  There is lots of hype, on lists such
as spf-help, on the size of type-TXT (or type-SPF), while the size of
the other record types is never mentioned.  I just wandered if that's
an unintentional omission.

The threat is only theoretical.  I don't know of any good reason why
one might want to set up a terabyte type-A record, assuming that is
even possible.  However, my ignorance is not a valid rationale to
exclude that such beasts exist.  Nor spfbis is the place to make such
statement.  Hence, an apparently innocent SPF record could
theoretically reference a number (10) of third parties oversize
records, and thus lend itself to DoS attacks.

The question is, why does the spec put a SHOULD on the size of the
"SPF record" only?

I agree.  The protocol is right to recommend efficiency.  Handy advice
is welcome, but advice that is likely to become obsolete before the
spec will be revised should be avoided.

Testing the record seems to be necessary anyway.  Since it is also
sufficient, there is no reason to say more.  We need to specify what
tests a good test site should carry out, though.

Well, 4096 is as a practical matter impossible on the Internet anyway,
but you might be ok somewhere in the 1500 range.  But EDNS0 isn't a
DNSOP reference, it's part of the DNS protocol (indeed, the IESG just
approved it as Internet Standard).  We probably need a reference
anyway to that, but I don't think we should have a lot of guidance
about how to operate the zone in here.

Inded.  In the DNS, there is no "first one".

Indeed, if it conforms even remotely to how DNS is supposed to work,
it ought to reissue the query using TCP.

I really strongly do not think this document is a good place to try to
educate people about how to operate the DNS, particularly since SPF
is one of the poster children for DNS abuse in the DNS community.  If
we want to have a big messy fight during IETF LC, then we can lard
this draft with a lot of DNS advice.  Otherwise, let's not.

Best,

I think 4408 got the amount of advice pretty much right.  We might improve the wording a bit,  but we should not jump in and be more expansive.

Absolutely.  SPF documents chronically suffer from gratuitous advice
about stuff unrelated to the SPF protocol, from how to run a mail
server to how to run DNS and more, all which might be described
as somewhat above our pay grade.

We need to tell people how to publish SPF records, and how to retrieve
them and interpret them the context of a domain name and IP address.
Then we need to stop.

R's,
John
