  • SAFE pseudo domains in "TLD flood" era - HOW?

    From Andrzej Adam Filip@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 2 13:18:06 2021
    How should sendmail.cf mark pseudo TLD domains (.UUCP, .BITNET, .DECNET,
    .FAX) in "TLD flood" era?

    I am 100% sure sooner or later some pseudo TLD domains will be handled
    by DNS.

    I have loads of these "new" tlds in my access file .capital .cyou and whatnot. Might actually be interesting to see who's using .uucp and check some mails first :-)

    Maybe ask the IETF to register those pseudo TLDs as resereved --
    look for a newer version of draft-chapin-rfc2606bis-00?

    reply to top-postings which include a full copy of the previous
    article(s) at the end because it's annoying, shows that the poster
    is too lazy to trim his article, and it's wasting the time of all readers.

    What about *NEW* pseudo domains?

    IMHO specific trailing operator-char may be a good idea e.g.

    mylist@example.net.MAILMAN3^
    *OR*
    mylist@example.net^MAILMAN3

    It would allow nice "TLD safe" redirects in aliases and virtusertable.
