Hi,
I wonder what the Postfix community thinks or plans to do according to
this standard that is being written:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-margolis-smtp-sts/?include_text=1
I personally find this quite interesting. What I wonder is, if maybe
we have now reached a similar point of complexity for policy decisions
when delivering mails, as it was the case for incoming mails when
policy
delegation for the SMTP server was introduced.
Could a similar policy lookup protocol be implemented for the SMTP
client and things like SMTP STS be implemented as a policy daemon?
The policy lookup could take place right after the SMTP handshake.
Cheers

Hi David,
since Postfix already implements a tls policy mechanism via
smtp_tls_policy_maps you could use the tcp_table protocol to explore the
integration of STS into Postfix. This would allow a comparison of the
possibilities of STS with all the good stuff Viktor implemented for
smtp_tls_policy_maps.
Regards,
Michael
