ISP Centric Configuration Discovery: on sam0737's comment
How about creating a "standard" to allow auto-discovery information in DNS TXT field, similar to that of whatever span prevention thing (sorry I forgot the name of that technology)? ISP and Domain owner can then maintain their configuration without submitting changes to every mail client vendor.
 
:That's [http://www.openspf.org/ Sender Policy Framework (SPF)], and I think that the DNS TXT issue is mentioned in item #2 of "Proposal" already(?). Yes, that would need to be standardized in some way, and also has to take into account that the same e-mail address may have different settings depending on where you connect from. --[[User:Rsx11m|Rsx11m]] 07:15, 17 May 2008 (PDT)
Web page discovery style with META tag or MicroFormat like OpenID should works equally well.
A lot of things has to the think through like trust, compatibility and flexibility. But I believe this kind of model works better than contributor creating the list. Of course, both technology can exists and implemented at the same time.--[[User:Sam0737|sam0737]] 07:03, 17 May 2008 (PDT)
