This draft is dishonest, (I am refraining from calling it criminal, but criminal is probably not a wrong word) When Mail server admins control which mail they receive, they are exercising control over resources in their legal control. When it is okay for DNS administrators to lie it simply is not okay. We as a community is making it acceptable to tell lies by not calling a spade a spade, but dancing around and using fancy footwork and using long explanations to explain why this is perfectly acceptable. I also am fully aware that DNS admins are able to do what they want without this draft. BUT That the IETF publishes this as an RFC is a clear indication that it lacks ethics, promotes criminal behavior on the Internet (by making it "okay" to tell lies) And, are we really so far down the garden path that we cannot even see that dishonesty breeds evil. It is the broken window principle. I can of course also start quoting Edmund Burke (and again, that would not be a wrong thing to do) Andre _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
