MARID was an IETF working group in the applications area tasked to propose standards for email authentication in 2004. The name is an acronym of M TA Authorization Records In D NS .
6-687: Lightweight MTA Authentication Protocol (LMAP) was a generic name for a set of 'designated sender' proposals that were discussed in the ASRG in the Fall of 2003, including: These schemes attempt to list the valid IP addresses that can send mail for a domain. The "lightweight" in LMAP essentially stands for "no crypto", as opposed to DomainKeys and its successor, DKIM . In March 2004, the Internet Engineering Task Force IETF held
12-582: A BoF on these proposals. As the result of that meeting, the task force chartered the MARID working group . Microsoft 's Caller-ID proposal was a late and highly controversial addition to this mix. It came with the following features: The working group decided to postpone the question of RFC 2821 SMTP identities - i.e. MAIL FROM covered by SPF, or HELO covered by CSV and SPF - in favour of RFC 2822 identities covered by Caller-ID's and later Sender-ID's Purported Responsible Address (PRA) . The WG arrived at
18-571: A point where sender policies could be split into different scopes , like the 2821 MAIL FROM or the 2822 PRA. The MARID spf2.0 syntax also allowed to join different scopes into one policy record, if the sets of permitted IPs are identical, as is often the case. Less than a week after the publication of a first mfrom or MAIL FROM draft, the WG was terminated unilaterally by its leadership. MARID existed only seven months, and no RFCs were published. The responsible IETF Area Director agreed to sponsor
24-545: The ASRG contributed to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) process with drafts, documents, and assistance in the creation of new working groups . One IETF group spun off from the ASRG is MARID . The ASRG is sporadically active, as little evolves in the anti-spam landscape, with most activity happening on the mailing list. In 2008 the ASRG worked on Internet Drafts about DNSBLs , in 2010 on
30-696: The publication of some of the unfinished MARID discussions as IETF experiments; these happened in 2005, as both the pre-MARID SPF and Sender ID were approved as experimental RFCs. The latter is to a certain degree a result of MARID, growing out of the Caller-ID proposal. The ongoing disputes on technical issues and incompatibilities in Sender ID resulted later in appeals to the IESG and the IAB . Anti-Spam Research Group The Anti-Spam Research Group ( ASRG )
36-509: Was a research group started within the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), where its charter concluded on 18 March 2013. It is still a reference and a melting pot for anti-spam research and theorization. In particular, the wiki lives on. Dedicated to research into curbing spam on an Internet-wide level, it consists of a mailing list to coordinate work and a small web site with a wiki. As with other IRTF groups,
