Dear  John,

For the record, I would like to strongly disagree with this statement.  =
SPFbis represents a significant change in how DNS and DNSSEC can be =
abused and network amplifications achieved. =20

SPF introduces predefined "mechanisms" in conjunction with "macros" that =
operate on message elements rather than just DNS resources.  These =
"mechanisms" combine with "macros" (if actually implemented by large =
providers) to allow any compromised system to leverage cached Resource =
Records to induce recipients into making more than 222 uniquely directed =
DNS transactions derived from check_host() message elements (111 DNS =
transactions for each of the two SPFbis check_host() message elements).  =
NO MITIGATION of this type of threat is possible without ignoring SPFbis =
records containing "macros".  This mitigation remains practical only by =
email providers (not DNS operators) since only 0.00053 of the domains =
publish records with a "macro" feature. =20

When DNSSEC is used, network amplification calculations change =
dramatically.  For example, the "PTR" or "MX" "mechanism" can be invoked =
10 times where each instance can resolve addresses for 10 RRs.  For the =
PTR mechanism, each invocation is permitted to return any number of PTR =
RRs where the upper bound on the response size could be 8x larger.  =
While SPFbis recommends against their publication, there is no =
recommendation against these "mechanisms" being processed by recipients =
which is where the threat is realized.   The complexity is represented =
by the target modulation permitted by SPFbis "macros".  RFC4033 does not =
offer any mitigation for this type of threat which becomes significantly =
worse when the DNS Message constraint changes from 512 octets and each =
message can then cause 222 massive UDP DNS transactions against two =
likely unrelated names constructed by macro expansion that SPFbis =
recommends be resolved.

> On the other hand, it's not a big deal, if it'll make the discuss go =
away, that's fine.

I don't think any DNS abuse mitigation strategy would be effective =
against SPFbis misuse of DNS.  SPFbis offers unknown entities =
significant access to DNS resources that can not be blocked by BCP38, =
rate limiting, or even be identified by RR Type or naming convention.  =
Sending a 1KB message could result in network amplifications =
significantly greater than that provided by source address spoofing.  =
The reason this is not likely an issue is that providers are not =
processing SPF records that contain macros because they may prefetch SPF =
records as a means of whitelisting which precludes use of "macros".  If =
so, "macros" may introduce significant interchange issues.  Too bad no =
survey was made regarding the publication or the processing of SPFbis =
"macros".=20

Douglas Otis

If there is a concern that this is going to be a pervasive problem my 
suggestion would be to carefully consider the matter and make the 
argument.  It is suggested that factual information be provided so 
that people can verify for themselves and form an opinion.

This was known -- stated in the group in the past for SPFBIS 
consideration  and unfortunately, ignored, skipped, went over heads, 
what have you. Too bad.

However, it is isolated to certain hosting domains only. It is not a 
pervasive thing.

The main issue is the REDUNDANT WASTE when done with SPF relaxed 
policies. So even if its just 8, 9 or limited to 10 calls,  when done 
by common domains (most of the messages arriving at your receiver), 
then its all wasteful.

It should of been added with some guideline but I don't feel its 
warrants a change at this point.  It will go to the whole idea of how 
many INCLUDES is too much and the worth (type of policies) of the the 
calls.  It could be that original receiver operations didn't have a 
limit and then added one (like us when RFC4408 was finally done).

The SPF limit is 10 and we have that as a global option for operators 
to change.  But in theory, technically, it has to be a learned process 
PER HOST and what I am pointing out it is limited to only certain 
hosting domains.  At best, what can be stated is that "SPF service 
providers"  SHOULD CONSIDER the worth of the calls.  Don't do this if 
the end results are NEUTRAL (?ALL) or even SOFTFAIL (~ALL), although 
the latter does offer some worth.

I think Scott's idea of doing a FAQ entry is the most reasonable path
forward here.  This doesn't seem to be serious enough to warrant a new
document or a modification to the bis draft at this stage.  Given the size
and popularity of the operators I've heard about, however, this is going to
be a pain point for more than just the couple of operators I've heard from.

Another issue that was suggested: If the first party's SPF record includes
two or more others others, and those in turn include others but some of
those overlap, should the redundant includes be counted against the 10?

I don't agree that this is a configurable limit.  The limit is fixed at 10;
an implementation that allows the limit to be adjusted is non-standard and
not interoperable.  Have I misunderstood something here?

Early adopter like us didn't have limits. IOW, draft-mengwong-spf-00 
did not have any limits written in.   However, software stack 
recursion limits soon became apparent.  When RFC4408 was finally 
release, early adopters updated and it was added then.

So I would think these were added after the fact and as a global 
limit, and as a matter of fact,  our default is actually set at 20 
most likely it was too low for these types of spf service provider issues:

; RecursionLimit limits the number of SPF recursion calls by a domain

RecursionLimit       20

You have to consider that SOFTWARE was optimized to also not fail. 
This 20 probably covers the ones or twos SPF service providers you are 
just now hearing about. But the overall issue has been long known and 
don't be surprise if there are some remaining implementations that 
don't have a limit or have it at some level so it doesn't fail at 11 
or 12, etc.

Consider the outcomes:

     PERMERROR vs REAL SPF RESULT

I have seen this problem as well. Shame on the operators. They should
have been testing and noticed the problem and addressed it. That's
part of what they are getting paid for.

To a certain extent I say shame on the customers but I realize that
many of them don't have the understanding, skillsets or even the
ability to figure out where to find a tool to validate their record
(including includes). I question how useful adding the FAQ will be
(even though I agree it is the correct thing to do) in this respect.
To summarize, I view it as more of a quality assurance issue for the
service provider than something we can fix through documentation.

Another part of the problem is that there are implementations that don't
impose any limit, or don't stick to the specified limit, which means the
operator gets inconsistent feedback; some receivers bounce because the
limit is reached, others don't.  It gets very hard to make a choice about
how to adjust the policy record to deal with a situation like that.

I took a quick look at draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-21.  The limit is 
set to 10.  The argument for the limit is to avoid load on 
DNS.  There is some text in the Security Considerations section which 
explains why there are processing limits in the specification.  BTW, 
there would also be non-standard behavior if the limit is 
configurable.  There may also be an interoperability issue.

S. Moonesamy

We get the point, but its not reality:

  Patient: "Dr., it hurts when I raise my arm"
  Dr.: "Then don't raise your arm!"

is not the answer.

The answer is A) awareness and B) allow implementators do deal with 
it, figure it out, i.e., with suggested limits and insights.  But you 
have to consider that having something fail as a PERMERROR redundantly 
at the 11th call is just as illogical as the original SWAG (scientific 
wild-ass guess) of choosing 10 in the first place.

     The real problem is the WASTE with the relaxed policies.  Vendors 
that
     do this as a service but have NO BANG for the SPF Calls Bucks!

It was only a problem from a SOFTWARE STACK standpoint and it that 
depends on the method of doing recursive or alternative 
(non-recursive) processing.

So you only saw it when the with STACK exceptions and for most systems 
10 is nothing, peanuts -- it was a SWAG limit.

Recursion limits is the principle reason because software breaks here, 
its real, that was an immediate symptom, even for processing the "good 
guys" publishers who just has too many includes.  So the software had 
to be fine tuned to not fail.    Remember, the 10, is just a SWAG.  As 
I see, for our implementation, we have 20 as the limit, and I'm sure 
that was to cover the extremely few good guys who total calls was 
perhaps just over the subjective 10 limit.

Without any desire to provoke a flame war, relaxed policies are not
entirely wasteful if one is using an "over the top" protocol such as
DMARC. DMARC (and some individual receiver policies) work off of positive
assertions, not the negative ones.

I agree, which tells ya, that this is material for a SPF "publishing" 
BCP that does take into account integrated concepts.  But without it, 
this is just about weighting Waste versus Policy concepts.  I 
personally don't think 10 should be labeled as a hard compliancy issue 
because as I pointed out, 10 was a SWAG, its too subjective and if we 
were to go on suggesting that if you don't follow "10" it will make 
you non-compliant, well, thats just more material to not support and 
ignore this BIS work. It was important early on so it should be 
pointed out of using limits, e.g.; 10, but the original issue, at 
least it was for us, was running into memory stack recursion limits. 
10 is nothing and failing at 11 for a common domain, well, gets into 
political, tech support issues of who is right or wrong, the big vs 
small, passing the buck, etc.   Remember, its not just about your own 
site, but a customer site who is seeing that one SPF service provider 
domain hitting their system with perhaps permerror results. After the 
more important and critical software stack design issue was first 
addressed (to address buffer overflow exploit attempts), this is most 
likely the reason we set the default of 20 as the limit, not 10.

Without any desire to provoke a flame war, relaxed policies are not
entirely wasteful if one is using an "over the top" protocol such as
DMARC. DMARC (and some individual receiver policies) work off of positive
assertions, not the negative ones.

If the WG feels like this is something that needs doing, rechartering is
always an option.

That said, it's not the only option.

I don't think so.

The issue of include explosions has been around as long as there has
been SPF.  Please let smoke settle, and see if there are enough
non-obvious implementation issues that it's worth a separate document.

This is hardly the only protocol with inconsistently enforced limits
(512 byte DNS packets, anyone?), and I don't think it'd be a good idea
to start publishing a document per protocol that says if you don't do
what the standard says, it often won't work.

R's,
John

One of the reasons I'm not particularly sympathetic is that of the
problem records I've looked at/dug into with the publisher of the
record there has invariably been a reasonable way to do things and
stay within the limit. I'm not saying there won't potentially be some
exceptions, but that has been my experience so far.

My approach has been to make something that clearly shows that there is =
a problem.

Cycles:

Over-limit:

I'm still trying to get the "clearly shows" part to better.  Big red =

But notice the difference between the problems.

Really? They have ~99,000 IPs sending mail on their behalf? I view
their problem as more along the lines of administrative laziness. If
someone at a site which receives a lot of mail from them were to
check, I bet Walmart is actually sending mail from only a fraction of
those.

1 over the limit and with ~79k IPs. I am more likely to believe that
MS needs lots of IPs/netblocks for mail given the services they
host/provide including for others..

Permerror is the real SPF result. 

Super huge providers like Hotmail are able to (mostly) able publish compliant records.  If they can do it, I have a hard time believing it's a problem that needs more than education to solve.

This is unchanged from 4408, so it's nothing new.

Do you really mean recursion limit? The 4408/4408bis limits aren't related to recursion (unlike the pre-RFC limits which were recursion based).

Dear Kurt,

Disagree.  DMARC is attempting to elevate combined negative results into =
something providers will consider actionable.  This action is =
independent of private arrangement or a domain's reputation as a means =
to limit user exposure to spoofing attempts.  The relatively high =
exception rate needed for either SPF or DKIM has devolved into =
strategies that do not function well with normal email.  DMARC offers an =
action when both SPF and DKIM offer negative results.   Beyond dealing =
with accepted email that can not be delivered (which should not happen), =
most providers ignore negative results obtained from SPF despite =
protocol specific policy assertions.  This is also where DMARC may =
conflict with advice offered by SPFbis which does not align with DMARC's =
goal of reducing erroneous actions based on negative SPF results.  In =
other words, this is where there is any direct benefit, but likely only =
for domains limited to transactional messaging.=20

Please argue about DMARC in some DMARC related place.

Dear Scott,

The message pointed out a conflict in how SPF views "-all" policy =
assertions.  It seems this might deserve some review by the SPFbis WG =
since some large providers have stated SPF negatives do not offer safe =
actions with respect to general acceptance due to SPF's high exception =

considerations.  Acknowledging this may suggest "~all" rather than =
"-all" offers better advice when the domain offers a fallback scheme.  =
Is this consideration on-topic for this WG?

What WG deliverables would it be relevant to?

There's an spf-discuss list on listbox for more general discussions about SPF.

SPFbis related documents of course.=20

Domains attempting to protect recipients from spoofed messages find =
"-all" (FAIL) policy assertions in SPFbis and section G2 stating "SPF =
fail results can be used to reject messages during the SMTP transaction =
based on either "MAIL FROM" or "HELO" identity results" are generally =

confirmed by large providers who report too many exceptions are needed =
to reject messages based on "-all" FAIL results.  Effective policy =
enforcement becomes practical when SPFbis permits a fallback strategy to =
reduce the number of exceptions likely encountered.

Since neither RFC 4408 nor RFC 4408bis specify receiver behavior in this case, 
I don't get the connection to SPFbis work.

+1 I think this falls under the heading of local policy. If I were

Dear Mike and Scott,

This is not about dictating, but about advice offered in SPFbis. =20

Please see:=20
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis-21#appendix-G.2

This section offers advice regarding local policy for "-all" (FAIL).  It =
seems a bit disingenuous to offer advice that overlooks some hard =
learned lessons.  The advice offered is not well considered for many =
scenarios and why rejection remains an unlikely result.  It seems any =
future version should expand upon this section at least.  After a =
decade, the number of exceptions involved with SPF handling are not =
likely to improve substantially, which suggests there should also be a =
section for "~all" (SOFTFAIL).  This result offers a safer outcome when =
combined with fallback strategies where a resulting aggregate policy has =
a better chance of actually being applied (if only for transactional =
messages.)

Regards,
Douglas Otis

Nominations for the IESG, IAB, and IAOC are due to the Nomcom by Friday, 18
October, 2013.

Is there someone you work with at IETF who has leadership potential and a
growing track record? Please read the Nomcom call for nominations and
consider nominating her or him. Or several folks! Deadline for nominations
is October 18.  Nominate soon to give your nominee(s) plenty time to fill
in the questionnaire. Information about the desired expertise for positions
is here:
           https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/expertise

Lots more, including which positions are open, how to make a nomination,
and how to
send us your feedback on the desired expertise, follows.

IETFers, let's hear from you!  Make nominations, accept nominations!

If you have any questions about the process, feel free to get in touch with
me.

Best regards,

Allison for the Nomcom

Allison Mankin
Nomcom Chair 2013-14

----- The Info You Need for Nominating -----

The 2013-14 Nominating Committee (Nomcom) is seeking nominations
from now until October 18, 2013. The open positions being considered
by this year's Nomcom can be found later in this section, and also on
this year's Nomcom website:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/

Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of
the Nomcom 2013 home page, or by visiting the following URL:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/nominate/

Note that nominations made using the web tool require an ietf.org
datatracker account. You can create a datatracker ietf.org account
if you don't have one already by visiting the following URL:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/

Nominations may also be made by email to nomcom13 at ietf.org.
If you nominate by email, please include the word "Nominate" in the Subject
and indicate in the email who is being nominated, their email address (to
confirm acceptance of the nomination), and the position for which you
are making the nomination. If you use email, please use a separate email for
each person you nominate, and for each position (if you are nominating one
person for multiple positions).

Self-nomination is welcome!  No need to be shy.

Nomcom 2013-14 will follow the policy for "Open Disclosure of Willing
Nominees" described in RFC 5680.  As stated in RFC 5680: "The list of
nominees willing to be considered for positions under review in the
current Nomcom cycle is not confidential". Willing nominees for each
position will be listed in a publicly accessible way - anyone with a
datatracker account may access the lists.  In all other ways, the
confidentiality requirements of RFC 3777/BCP10 remain in effect.  All
feedback and all Nomcom deliberations will remain confidential and will
not be disclosed.

In order to ensure time to collect sufficient community feedback about
each of the willing nominees, nominations must be received by the
Nomcom on or before October 18, 2013.  Please submit your nominations
as early as possible for the sake of your nominees, as we've set the
questionnaire submission deadline for October 25, 2013.

The list of people and posts whose terms end with the March 2014 IETF
meeting,
and thus the positions for which we are accepting nominations:

IAOC
Chris Griffiths

IAB
Bernard Aboba
Marc Blanchet
Ross Callon
Eliot Lear
Hannes Tschofenig

IESG
Barry Leiba (Applications)
Brian Haberman (Internet)
Benoit Claise (Operations and Management)
Gonzalo Camarillo (RAI)
Stewart Bryant (Routing)
Sean Turner (Security)
Martin Stiemerling (Transport)

Please be resourceful in identifying possible candidates for these
positions, as developing our talent is a very crucial requirement for
the IETF.  Also, please give serious consideration to accepting nominations
you receive.

The summaries of the desired expertise for the positions, developed by the
respective bodies, are found at:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/expertise/

In addition to nominations, the Nomcom seeks community input on
the positions themselves.  We need and welcome the community's
views and input on the jobs within each organization. If you
have ideas on the positions' responsibilities (more, less,
different), please let us know.  You can send us email about this to
nomcom13 at ietf.org, and we will use this feedback actively.

Thank you for your help in nominating a great pool of strong and interesting
nominees!

----- The Info You Need for Nominating -----<br>
<br>
The 2013-14 Nominating Committee (Nomcom) is seeking nominations<br>
from now until October 18, 2013. The open positions being considered<br>
by this year&#39;s Nomcom can be found later in this section, and also on<b=
r>
this year&#39;s Nomcom website:<br>
<br>
<a href=3D"https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/" target=3D"_blank">htt=
ps://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/</a><br>
<br>
Nominations may be made by selecting the Nominate link at the top of<br>
the Nomcom 2013 home page, or by visiting the following URL:<br>
<br>
<a href=3D"https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/nominate/" target=3D"_b=
lank">https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2013/nominate/</a><br>
<br>
Note that nominations made using the web tool require an <a href=3D"http://=
ietf.org" target=3D"_blank">ietf.org</a><br>
datatracker account. You can create a datatracker <a href=3D"http://ietf.or=
g" target=3D"_blank">ietf.org</a> account<br>
if you don&#39;t have one already by visiting the following URL:<br>
<br>
<a href=3D"https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/" target=3D"_blank"=
>https://datatracker.ietf.org/accounts/create/</a><br>
<br>
Nominations may also be made by email to nomcom13 at <a href=3D"http://ietf=
.org" target=3D"_blank">ietf.org</a>.<br>
If you nominate by email, please include the word &quot;Nominate&quot; in t=
he Subject<br>
and indicate in the email who is being nominated, their email address (to<b=
r>
confirm acceptance of the nomination), and the position for which you<br>
are making the nomination. If you use email, please use a separate email fo=
r<br>
each person you nominate, and for each position (if you are nominating one<=
br>
person for multiple positions).<br>
<br>
Self-nomination is welcome! =A0No need to be shy.<br>
<br>
Nomcom 2013-14 will follow the policy for &quot;Open Disclosure of Willing<=
br>
Nominees&quot; described in RFC 5680. =A0As stated in RFC 5680: &quot;The l=
ist of<br>
nominees willing to be considered for positions under review in the<br>
current Nomcom cycle is not confidential&quot;. Willing nominees for each<b=
r>
position will be listed in a publicly accessible way - anyone with a<br>
datatracker account may access the lists. =A0In all other ways, the<br>
confidentiality requirements of RFC 3777/BCP10 remain in effect. =A0All<br>
feedback and all Nomcom deliberations will remain confidential and will<br>
not be disclosed.<br>
<br>
In order to ensure time to collect sufficient community feedback about<br>
each of the willing nominees, nominations must be received by the<br>
Nomcom on or before October 18, 2013. =A0Please submit your nominations<br>
as early as possible for the sake of your nominees, as we&#39;ve set the<br=
