Just some friction in The Machine

Wednesday, July 11, 2007


I've been working in San Diego since February 2006 on a large migration team moving a data center and all of its hosted applications. Been a wild ride, with plenty of work (read opportunity for personal and professional growth).

In my spare time I've worked with the X-ASVP committee on a new proposal that could make life a lot tougher on spammers. The idea is to create a URL search path for every e-mail address, that defines three possible places that an end user could post an authentication token, or a description of which of the various existing protocols (DKIM, SPF, PGP, etc) he requires to get mail into his Inbox. The Internet-draft document and supporting data flow diagrams are posted at http://www.x-asvp.org/
