I'm revising the E2E spec right now, and one of the features I'm adding
is the ability for to _partially_ set "From:" lines. I realize that the
last time we walked this way, we got a massive flamew^W discussion going
on, but since I've got to build the thing, I've got to walk over these
trails again.
I have two questions for you all: (please reply personally if you only
want to say "yes")
Q1. To everybody operating an exit node is: would you be willing to run
an exit node that worked this way?
Q2. To everybody who wants to set From lines: would an exit node that
worked this way meet your needs?
Policy:
The administrator of every SMTP (mail) exit node configures a
tag (e.g., "Foo-Anon") and a mailbox (e.g., anon@foo.com). The
user provides a "From" string containing no special[*]
characters (e.g., "Common Sense"). The exit node generates a
"From" line of the form:
'From: "[Foo-Anon] Common Sense" <anon@foo.com>'.
(I've described the system below to Len, and he seems to be ok with it
from an abuse POV. [Len, feel free to recant and repudiate my
impudence.] It also seems similar to what Noise was saying in
http://archives.seul.org/mixminion/dev/Feb-2003/msg00069.html . [Noise,
feel free to tell me that you were saying nothing of the sort.])
Yrs,
