Hi,

I've run into two problems that need settling. I'll raise them in order. 
The first one: Is this a legal SMTP command?

   mail from:<postmaster@xn--6caaa.no>

I see nothing to forbid it, but I tend to think that it ought to be 
forbidden. Allowing xn-- forms gives us no added value AFAICT and 
complicates life for the poor downtrodden implementers among us.

Arnt

We discussed it at length.   While I suppose we could have said
"bad idea" more strongly, the interoperability implications of
forbidding an address that is valid for RFC 5321 SMTP would be
pretty serious.  Remember too that having things like that be
valid was in important design consideration for IDNA.

You discussed it at length before I started paying attention. OK.

Well, nothing says asdf@xn-blah.blah has to be considered equal to=20
asdf@b=C5=82=C3=A4h.blah, so I'll just ignore that, which I think will =
make them=20
different in practice.

Short version:
The SMTP command is legal, but not encouraged (strongly). Especially this
is Mail From.

Long version:
This is more of questions.  Why in A-label? Are you just trying to
determine whether to fail the transmission at that point? Or thinking of
utilize it for certain situations?

Best,
Joseph

P.S. And your second question? ;)

The implementation I'm working on supports it, and treats it as
equivalent to the corresponding 8bit.

"Equal to" in what sense?  Assuming that the xn--blah and błäh are
corresponding A-label and U-label, then they have to be "considered
equal" in some sense, since exactly one of those is going to be in the
DNS.

Indeed, I would expect some problems if people try to compare
full addresses for equality.   Just as=20
   user@example.net   and=20
   user@example.com
are considered to be different even if the associated DNS
entries are
   example.net. 0 MX smtp.example.net.
   example.com. 0 MX smtp.example.com.
I'd assume that, depending on how and where they test,
implementations might construe=20
   asdf@xn-blah.blah
   asdf@b=C5=82=C3=A4h.blah

as different, depending on how and where they test.   That would
violate the comparison rules of IDNA, but is tricky if one
thought one were doing an SMTP comparison rather than an IDNA
comparison.  In particular, many SMTP MTA implementations
require local configuration of all of the domain names for which
the server will accept mail.  Depending on how such a server is
upgraded to EAI, and where in its code that information is used,
one might want (or need) to configure both the A-label and
U-label forms of the domain name.

JianKang, please make a note that a comment about this should be
included when 6531 is updated unless people are convinced that
note should be in 6530, in which case Yangwoo and I should make
that note.

I've noted this on the Wiki page at
http://tools.ietf.org/wg/eai/trac/wiki That page is probably a
good place to leave notes to remind ourselves about issues to be
considered for future revisions, but please do not expect me to
maintain it.

All: please do not introduce new materials or discussion into
that Wiki page without raising them on the mailing list and,
when you do so, identify the source (as I have done in the new
entry).   If nothing else, it should increase the odds that
someone will pay attention to your point or question.

thanks,
    john

FWIW, until EAI is really widely deployed, if I'm sending to,
or, more important, from, a host that has a non-ASCII domain
name but the relevant local-part is entirely ASCII, the
conservative course of action is to use A-labels and then not
request EAI services at all in the MAIL or RCTP commands,
thereby avoiding the risk of rejection or final delivery
problems because of EAI non-support.  From there, it is a tiny
step to A-label form addresses creeping into the EAI
environment, especially if messages are resent.  That may
provide at least one reason why these things may show up even
though we (and the "keep in native character form and convert to
A-labels only at the DNS interface" argument essentially made in
RFC 6055) would prefer that they not.

I should perhaps elaborate on why I chose that.

1. xn-- is little-used today, so the argument to support it is weak.

2. I fear that if "mail from:<asdf@xn--blah.blah>" is legal, then it's=20

I don't know if that is true.  Someone from a place where IDNs
are in heavy use to support scripts with little in common with
Latin may want to comment.  There is no question that making end
users look at the things is a bad idea if there are any
alternatives (again, especially for non-Latin strings).

Personal opinion: What Ned is doing is probably right, certainly
for transport and probably for EAI-aware local handling.  It
would be rational for a final delivery server that "knows" it is
injecting the message into a fully-i18n-capable environment (or
that the message needs EAI anyway, e.g., for non-ASCII local
parts) to upgrade any A-label forms it sees to U-labels (an
advantage of the fully-reversible mappings in IDNA2008).   =20

However, if some mail body scanner wanted to include a rule that
said "only an idiot or an idiot-spammer would send around
A-labels, so the message should be treated as suspect", that
certainly would not violate any protocols.

Perhaps. But I fear the costs: Letting xn-- into bodies, letting phpmailer 
users get around a lack of EAI by using xn--, encouraging mail format 
upgrade by final delivery software.

I agree that it should be strongly discouraged, I wouldn't be opposed to st=
ronger wording, or even forbidding it.  Of course, then someone's gonna wan=
t to "upgrade" from a non-EAI mail to an EAI mail (like when replying or fo=
rwarding?) and then conversion might happen anyway, and there're going to b=
e a lot of edge cases where punycode sneaks in unexpectedly (unfortunately)=
.

The direction we're going is that our networking APIs have Unicode interfac=
es anyway.  So all the punycode hackiness is hopefully hidden away in the g=
uts of the APIs, and the applications just need to handle the Unicode forms=
.  Unless they have some sort of limited networking protocol that makes the=
m do the conversion anyway, like the app is handling non-EAI SMTP.  But the=
 goal is to hide the gory details away from most applications, most apps do=
n't need to know how to do that.

I'd prefer having DNS servers that advertised UTF-8 awareness too, then the=
 Punycode part could be handled transparently on those servers' sides.  But=
 I really don't want punycode to escape its current sandbox any more than i=
t has to.

As I think I've tried to explain before, you can't have this because
of the way the DNS is distributed.  If we're going to get a name
service that supports UTF-8 labels directly (presumably with a bunch
of normalization rules &c.), then it's going to be in DNSng.

I am prepared to have that conversation, but it's not something to
have in passing when talking about EAI.

And given this reality, the two forms are necessarily equivalent in some
sense.

And it's not really the same as having two different domains with the same MX
or A records. 

Finally, given that EAI has been slow to standardize and deploy, and
given how these things tend to work, I believe the safest course of action
is to assume leakage of a-labels into email addresses and act accordingly.

Definitely, I'm just trying to make sure it's understood that such leakage =

Legal I think, but it should be strongly discouraged for SMTPUTF8

I think the a form should be discouraged, however it I were writing the app=
 I'd probably convert them if I saw them.  I don't think that either end sh=
ould assume the other end is going to convert them though, and that servers=
/clients should assume that the other end is going to fail with a-labels wh=

In other words I think everyone should assume then need to send a "clean" U=
TF-8 stream without any of the legacy baggage.

I'm sorry I missed the question.

I'm adding EAI support to an MTA, methodically working through the code, 
and at one point in the code the question arose. I don't have any 
particular desire, so I chose to do what was easiest (nothing else seems to 
justify added effort).

The second (of three, now): It would be good to have something like 
example.com. I found one piece of documentation that used example.com as 
example domain, but I'm not sure whether "example" was meant to be an 
a-label or u-label.

I don't see anything reserved. Has any of you made a suitable domain?

One added observation for those who are inclined to make changes
to domains from A-label form to U-label form after initial
submission.  Remember that a non-EAI-aware implementation is
almost certain to use A-labels if it can handle a non-ASCII
address at all (or the user is likely to slip non-ASCII domains
past it by using A-labels).  My recollection is that, when we
tried to get the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC folks to pay attention to
EAI addresses and IDNs, they weren't very interested.

So, with the understanding that I haven't researched this and
have no idea what the answers are, I suggest that anyone
contemplating changing the form of an address carefully review
those specs, figure out if it would invalidate the signatures,
and, if so, whether that is significant.

After the DMARC mailing list debacle, it would be good to not be
surprised.

My recollection is slightly different than yours.=20

I got a spec changed in last call to avoid the group syntax in From: =
header becomes a new weak standard.

Franck,

What I meant was that we informally approached the leadership of
the relevant WGs about making sure that the EAI extensions,
including non-ASCII headers and the like, were fully supported
by SPF and DKIM (and, by extension although it is not IETF work,
DMARC).  We did not get any useful response.  IIR, in at least
one case, we were told that it would be future work, if ever.

Changes affected in Last Call, rather than as an earlier part of
WG process and design, are completely consistent with that
history.

More important in this context, I don't understand what "to
avoid the group syntax in From: header becomes a new weak
standard" means in practical terms and to internationalization
of email addresses and headers.  I also don't know what a "weak
standard" is -- as far as I know, the IETF only has two
categories of standards and neither of them is called "weak".

So which spec did you get changed, to what, why, and what are
the practical implications to EAI and/or SPF/DKIM deployment?

FWIW, I've been asked in several contexts lately (and Joseph has
too) why the EAI work is not deploying more quickly and what can
be done to remove barriers and encourage deployment.  It would
be truly unfortunate to have to add to those reports a statement
that the IETF has adopted standards for message authorization
and spam mitigation and that parties deploying email now have a
choice that makes the price of internationalization fewer
weapons against spam.

best,
   john

... it was time ago when the IETF "adopted" (or shall we say "nearly 
adopted", or "decided to publish anyhow to avoid more damage") standards 
like SPF and DKIM... and at that time we did not consider EAI in the 
already complex (and not fully satisfactory) scenarios that SFP and DKIM 
were designing. If we also considered at that time EAI implications, we 
should have had even more reasons not (I said NOT) to go with SPF and 
DKIM... too late, the dogs are out :-(

Maybe it is time to consider an informational report about the status of 
SPF and DKIM (and similar) techniques deplyoment, and their pro/cons in 
the global messaging scenario... and to take after that some decisions, 
too.

a bit "off topic", but John gave the occasion to mention this.

all the best!

I'm talking about RFC6854.

It seems the industry is moving towards domain reputation, so any document =
that removes the need for a domain identifier is, I think, a step in the wr=
ong direction.

On the from header, it is about one of the rare element exposed to the end =
user. While you cannot teach all users to recognize phish and be successful=
, it is not a reason to remove the identifiers for the users that can.

I'm sometimes surprised very few people check that the domain in the From e=
xists... We have started to rely so much on fuzzy logic, rather than hard t=
est, to block spam/malware.

The applicability statement in RFC6854 limit the scope, to say, if there is=
 nothing else you can do, it may be ok while we transition.

For SPF/DKIM/DMARC they rely on the domain name, so conversion from UTF8 to=
 puny code and back is possible, so it is just a question of implementation=
, more than standard. The local part is irrelevant for these protocols. Am =
I missing something here?

If an ASCII implementation see a domain name in UTF8, it may not be able to=
 convert it to puny code, for lack of library implementation, and may decid=
e to reject the message as a whole. This is a risk to face. The fix will de=
pend on where is the pain. It may not be pleasant. We are not used to run t=
he latest mail software as we are for web software.

I suspect there will be no issue when email is not forwarded, when it is fo=
rwarded then there will be breakage that will need to be resolved.

>From my poor understanding of all these RFC, this resolution may be left to=
 the end user, sometimes with bounce messages which UI developers think the=
y are not easy to the recipient of such message (we should do a better expe=
rience here, few ideas but for later).

Overall, when I ask for EAI support, nobody is able to figure out how it wi=
ll work exactly for the end users. So everyone I speak to is waiting for an=
 implementation.

I think you may need to do a case scenario document with screenshots, and m=
ay be an interop event. ;)

Printed on recycled paper!

This is simply not true with DKIM.  The DKIM working group *did*
discuss EAI, and decided two things:

1. We didn't see issues that caused EAI to interfere with DKIM, nor
the other way 'round.

2. We decided that we were OK, and that the EAI WG should have a
second look and document issues there, as their documents were
significantly behind the DKIM ones.

The EAI group lost a lot of its energy and probably didn't really look
at DKIM, but I think that's OK: I remain convinced that EAI and DKIM
do not affect each other (apart from the documented signature breakage
if things are "downgraded").

I don't think SPF has any relation to EAI either.

I'm having a lot of trouble understanding the point in Franck's
message, but one thing I get out of it is that Franck thinks that
something about the RFC822 From header affects SPF and DKIM.  It does
not.  There is nothing in either of those specs that has anything to
do with the From header other than its being mandatory that "From" be
included in the "h=" tag in DKIM.

It's true that DMARC makes use of the From header, and that there
*are* effects for DMARC.  That's OK: DMARC is coming along later, and
it's the responsibility of the DMARC spec to both address and document
these issues.

I mean I do not recall we explicitly discussed EIA possible issues when 
deciding what to do with DKIM and SPF... we discussed other things, like 
users mobility, etc.

There was some discussion about EAI in the SPFBIS working group (see 
threads at 
https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg02231.html 
and 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg01794.html). 
Things could have been better if people with an interest in EAI 
raised issues and discussed about those issues [1][2].

Regards,
-sm

1. If I recall correct John Klensin raised some issues.
2. It's difficult to be the lonely participant arguing against a 
reluctant working group.

Speaking personally and with my "former co-chair" hat very much
off, I would favor such an effort, especially if it took a
specific look at relationships to EAI itself, message submission
issues, post-delivery mail access (e.g., POP, IMAP, and various
webmail flavors) and so on in both legacy and EAI contexts. If
such an effort carefully examined the standards involved and
concluded that, as Barry suggests, there are no conflicts,
having that written down would help to eliminate a lot of
misunderstandings and grumbling.  By contrast, if that were not
the case and the IETF were going to approve standards or promote
external work that (accidentally or with observations about
"collateral damage") impedes the deployment of either either
long-deployed practices or other work approved or promoted by
the IETF, the fact that has been done and the reasons for it
should at least be publicly documented with IETF consensus about
the reasons.

Barry and Pete, partially for the reasons below, I'd see this
more as an ad hoc committee effort, possibly including some
appointed experts, and responsible to either you or the IAB i18n
Program.

As a further observation about Barry's remarks on the subject,
there may also be a communication problem within the IETF.
Barry wrote:

Putting my "former chair" hat back on, I don't know when that
occurred, but I don't recall getting such a request during my
term as EAI Co-Chair.  Had I gotten it, I would have pointed out
that EAI almost certainly did not have the expertise needed to
do that evaluation and "document issues".  Noting the presumed
reasons that may have resulted in the assignment of DKIM to the
security area, even without the issues that Barry politely
refers to as "running out of energy", the amount of expertise in
EAI, as a WG even at its peak, for evaluation of the effects of
a system that is dependent on the DNS, the interactions between
the DNS and various email systems and protocols, and the
workings of digital signatures was very small to non-existent.
To take as an example part of the issue that caused me to make
the comment that started this thread, there were a few people
who happened to understand, partially via history with IDNA and
digital signatures, the importance of carefully-specified
canonical forms and interpretation and checking rules anytime
one is going to do a signature over something that is going to
be emailed, and who happened to also participate in EAI.  But
getting the EAI WG to understand those issues to the point of
being able to do an evaluation, or even to reach meaningful
consensus on such an evaluation, would have been a terrible
diversion -- many of the people on this list will remember that
we had problems even getting the vast majority of this WG up to
speed on the interactions between SMTP and  the i18n issues.

I vaguely recall (Joseph, Harald, XiaoDong, and others will need
to check me on this) that there was even a brief discussion of
the DKIM and SPF issues in EAI and the conclusion was that they
were both out of scope and out of competence.

So I suggest that we had either some miscommunication about
expectations, a problem with capabilities, or both, that
resulted in inadequate review.  I believe the IESG would be well
advised to figure out a way to avoid those sorts of disconnects
in the future when work with the potential for interaction
occurs in parallel, especially in different Areas.

This isn't something that EAI can drive, both because there is
no longer a WG and because the scope and required expertise are,
as noted above, much broader.  But participants in this work who
either care about either the impacts from other efforts on EAI
deployment or the broader issues should probably start making
those positions known to the Apps Area generally.   If other
mechanisms and ways to raise concerns fail, appeals of decisions
that could  introduce further conflicts (at charter time as well
as Last Call) may be appropriate to focus community attention on
the issues.

Further discussion of the general issues should probably be
moved to Apps-Discuss (if that occurs, let me know and I'll
temporarily resubscribe :-( ).

Hi,

I don't see any mention of orcpt in 6531. The general idea is that the smtp 
client uses u-labels encoded with the usual xtext blah and the server 
treats it as an opaque string, is that right?

Really? The ABNF in RFC 6376 is limited to 7bit, which makes accomodation of
utf-8 domains in the d= field (and possibly other places) rather difficult. The
only mention of accomodating utf-8 domains is this:

      INFORMATIVE IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: Although the "plain text" defined
      below (as "tag-value") only includes 7-bit characters, an
      implementation that wished to anticipate future standards would be
      advised not to preclude the use of UTF-8-encoded ([RFC3629]) text
      in tag=value lists.

That's pretty weak tea IMO.

And it's also insufficient. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC all depend on looking up
various domains in the DNS. Since the DNS is limited to a-labels, there has to
be a translation step - that domain in the d= field has to be converted from a
U-label to an A-label. If there's a mention of that anywhere in the RFC I'm not
seeing it.

Now, I suppose you could say that all this is obvious and doesn't need to be
spelled out. But not so fast: You could also design it where the A-label form
has to appear in d= and any translation (from, say, the From: header field a la
DMARC) has to happen before that.

Those two approaches are clearly not compatible, and I can make a case for
either of them being used.

See above. Additionally, forwarders needing to deal with SPF are compelled to
use SRS or something similar. An EAI-encoded message with UTF-8 in the MAIL
FROM has to be accomodated, and note that SRS may cause DSNs to travel via an
alternate path which needs to support EAI for things to work.

But AFAICT we have no way to talk about any of this, having no-bid any document
describing the SRS solution space.

I confess I don't really get the point of Franck's message either, but I think
it's a symptom of a larger problem: An overall erosion of concern for continued
interoperability of the myriad components that make up the present-day email
service.

RFC 6376, Section 3.5:

   d= The SDID claiming responsibility for an introduction of a message
      into the mail stream (plain-text; REQUIRED).  Hence, the SDID
      value is used to form the query for the public key.  The SDID MUST
      correspond to a valid DNS name under which the DKIM key record is
      published.  The conventions and semantics used by a Signer to
      create and use a specific SDID are outside the scope of this
      specification, as is any use of those conventions and semantics.
      When presented with a signature that does not meet these
      requirements, Verifiers MUST consider the signature invalid.

      Internationalized domain names MUST be encoded as A-labels, as
      described in Section 2.3 of [RFC5890].

That last sentence is the operative bit.

Barry

I have 2 points, for clarification, ;)

1) this has nothing to do with SPF, DKIM, DMARC. RFC6854 states this is =
fine to receive an email with an anonymous author.
From: =93anonymous=94;
or worst:
From: =93Paypal security=94;

With no email address or domain, to verify who is really the author (yes =
it can be forged, but also it can be DKIM signed)
In other words, it does not matter who is the author of the email.=20
I don=92t think we want to go this path, just for security reasons.=20
The applicability statement, limits the use of this syntax, I would have =
preferred this RFC does not even exists. This is weakening the security =
of email not increasing it.

2) as a few pointed here, for SPF, DKIM, and even DMARC. The domain part =
of an email address can easily be converted to A-label, and this is what =
the MTA has to do before passing it to SPF or DKIM, or DMARC. I think =
these protocols will be constrained to A-labels and this is fine.

I have 2 points, for clarification, ;)

1) this has nothing to do with SPF, DKIM, DMARC. RFC6854 states this is =
fine to receive an email with an anonymous author.
From: =93anonymous=94;
or worst:
From: =93Paypal security=94;

With no email address or domain, to verify who is really the author (yes =
it can be forged, but also it can be DKIM signed)
In other words, it does not matter who is the author of the email.=20
I don=92t think we want to go this path, just for security reasons.=20
The applicability statement, limits the use of this syntax, I would have =
preferred this RFC does not even exists. This is weakening the security =
of email not increasing it.

2) as a few pointed here, for SPF, DKIM, and even DMARC. The domain part =
of an email address can easily be converted to A-label, and this is what =
the MTA has to do before passing it to SPF or DKIM, or DMARC. I think =
these protocols will be constrained to A-labels and this is fine.

Missed that, sorry. That eliminates the ambiguity at least.

But there's still a potential issue; it's just pushed off to other
specifications. Requiring an A-label in the d= field means anything comparing a
domain name against the field has to convert to A-label form. And that has
to be specified each and every time.

The DMARC specification actually discusses this and says when and how to do it,
using the term "conversion". I think it's OK in this regard.

However, while RFC 7208 (SPF) mentions this, the language used is ambiguous. It
says:

4.3.  Initial Processing

   If the <domain> is malformed (e.g., label longer than 63 characters,
   zero-length label not at the end, etc.) or is not a multi-label
   domain name, or if the DNS lookup returns "Name Error" (RCODE 3, also
   known as "NXDOMAIN" [RFC2308]), check_host() immediately returns the
   result "none".  DNS RCODEs are defined in [RFC1035].  Properly formed
   domains are fully qualified domains as defined in [RFC1983].  That
   is, in the DNS they are implicitly qualified relative to the root
   (see Section 3.1 of [RFC1034]).  Internationalized domain names MUST
   be encoded as A-labels, as described in Section 2.3 of [RFC5890].

Note the last sentence. Does that mean "convert any U-labels to A-labels" or
does it mean "reject anything that isn't already encoded in A-label form".

Normally I'd say the former, but given that this appears in a paragraph talking
about stuff that's not allowed. It's also the language other specifications use
for restrictions; different language is used when calling for a conversion.

The good news is this can be handed as an erratum.

This is discussed in section 3 of RFC 6533. And it isn't that simple: The
definition of the new utf-8 address complicates things considerably.

This is one of the most tedious parts of EAI for me to implement. FWIW.

Yes, so I see.

The second paragraph of section 3 is the one I was surprised not to see in 
6531.

6533 doesn't quite have the air of elegant simplicity that gilds 6531 and 
6854.

   When sending data to a SMTPUTF8-capable server, native UTF-8
   characters SHOULD be used instead of the EmbeddedUnicodeChar syntax
   described below.  When sending data to an SMTP server that does not
   advertise SMTPUTF8, then the EmbeddedUnicodeChar syntax MUST be used
   instead of UTF-8.

And what about DSN generators that have no idea about any of that? Such as 
ones that are only permitted to write to a spool, not to open SMTP 
connections anywhere? Suggestions, anyone?

Hi,

something I chanced upon. If an IMAP client enables UTF8=3DACCEPT, opens =
a=20
mailbox and issues UID FETCH BODY for an old (ASCII) message with =
subject=20
bl=C3=A5b=C3=A6rsyltet=C3=B8y, what happens? Its subject field as =
received is likely=20
"Subject: =3D?...", and 6855 neither says that the server has to decode =
the=20
2047 blob nor that the client has to.

Naturally, the client is able to do the decoding, it has to be in order =
to=20
work with unextended servers. And the server is able to decode too, it =
has=20
to be in order to implement IMAP SEARCH.

As it stands, I think both may or even should decode, which doesn't =
please=20
me very much. It's not an important matter, but I do dislike issuing

  a uid fetch 100:120 body.peek[header.fields (subject)]

and receiving some 2047 blobs and some utf8 for a purely extrinsic =
reason.=20
So I'd be happier if the server were required to do the decoding.

Arnt
