[ietf-dkim] Bug or Feature

[Scott Kitterman]

Personally, I have been unable to keep up with the torrent on the list.  What 
I have been able to get through seems to say very little new.

I think everyone would agree that it would be foolish to trust assertions by a 
sender that a message is somehow good (for some definition of good).  The 
reverse, is not however, necessarily true.  Personally, if a sending domain 
wants to give me a hint that a message may be bad (for some definition of 
bad), I'm inclined to listen.  

So SSP is a limited way for domain owners to give some indication of some 
messages being perhaps 'bad'.  Is this a bug or a feature?

I think it is the feature, but it seems to me that there's a strong sentiment 
that it's not a good thing.

If it's a bug, then there's really no point in SSP and we ought to just stop 
now.  If it's a feature, we ought to quit arguing it's not and figure out the 
best way we can to specify it (hower limited that it turns out to be).

P.S.  If the chairs want to issue consensus calls, I'll read those messages 
and vote.  I'm not voting on consensus calls issued by random posters on the 
list.
