[ietf-dkim] DKIM proposed charter tweak

Sat Nov 5 16:49:03 PST 2005

A domain is a public IP Class or Address assigned by a registrar to an individual or company. Sending domain is the IP Class or Address that sent the message. Receiving domain is the IP Class or Address that is considering accepting the message. Very straight forward as I can receive a message without the intervention of a mail system. We are discussing how to assure mail is being tagged by the sending domain to clearly identify who is responsible for sending the message. Mail Systems are not really part of the discussion at any point. This is transportation identification. Lets leave the wording as is.
thanks,
Bill Oxley

seconded and extended: the term "domain" has been used with fuzzy meaning       
in various anti-spam proposals in the past. Since DNS in part of the            
solution it should be made clear what "known domains" mean, i.e. whether        
"domains" is meant to be "domain names" or not and if so, what domain           
names.
