From: Jonathon Fletcher <j.fletcher@stirling.ac.uk> Can you clarify your intention for the list ? I'm a little puzzled by the alternatives that are flying about. The first time this got debated was last year. There the proposal was check sigs, delay, eventually bounce. That's not what I'm proposing this time. I mentioned this again, and the discussion started up again. Almost at once I wanted to avoid the flames from the previous time, so I restricted the proposal to be for marking and delaying only. Are you intending to implement both of these, one of these, or one now and the other later ? First of all, I'm not "planning" on any right now. I am considering doing some of them and I have decided to do some related work. The first action would be autonag; messages sent back to non-signers from the server. The second would be automark; header fields for advocacy would be added to the messages. The third would be delay for some as yet unspecified interval. The timing of these is not decided, and would certainly be iterative. What type of checking are you intending on signatures - just syntax or signature verification ? At first, only syntax checking. The problems of key distribution prevent otherwise. I apologize for asking for clarification, but I've lost the signal in amongst all this noise. No, actually, a summary was in order. Eric
