Standard Electronic Mail Addresses For Internet Operations
I like it overall -- definately needed right around now. Just a few comments....
4 - Other Well Known Addresses 4.1. Many mailing lists have an administrative address to which add/drop requests and other metaqueries can be sent. For a mailing list whose submission address is <LIST@DOMAIN>, the usual administrative address is <LIST-REQUEST@DOMAIN>. With the advent of list management software such as MajorDomo, this convention is becoming less common and its absence for any given mailing list should be treated as an inconvenience rather than as an error or standards violation.
A list of some of these might not be a bad idea, since many users will be unfamiliar with more standard addresses. I'd suggest including (in no particular order) the following: Address Operations Area Example Usage -------------------------------------------------------------- hostmaster Network Operations DNS issues security Network Operations System security or hacking www Customer Support Same as webmaster listowner Customer Support Mailing list administrator routing Network Operations Network routing issues nic Network Operations Same as noc news Customer Support Same as usenet help Customer Support Same as support
5 - Security Considerations Denial of service attacks (flooding a mailbox with junk) will be easier after this document becomes a standard.
Would it be appropriate to mention Procmail here as a partial solution, or would that be better suited to a seperate document? ---------========== J.D.
