Why DomainKeys is Broken
The recent testing by Gmail of DomainKeys affords an
opportunity to look again at what the impact of it may
be in any attempt to introduce a Domino addin to
verify DomainKeys signatures. I have here a sample of
an email sent from Gmail and that same email after
being delivered to the in-box of a Notes/Domino user
who prefers MIME. There are differences which make
DomainKeys a real problem at Domino shops (and, I
suspect, others).

GNSO Council Review
The ICANN bylaws require a periodic review of ICANN
structures and operations; the first of such reviews,
that of the Generic Names Supporting Organization
Council, is scheduled to be finalized in the next few
weeks prior to the start of ICANN's annual meeting. To
begin discussion on this topic, I draw your attention
to a very thoughtful question posed by Joe Sims during
the prior ICANN reform process:

The DNSdoctor utility
This utility will perform tests of a DNS zone or
domain name. There are two versions available for
download. For the purposes of this column, I'm going
to stick to the DNSdoctor for the command line, rather
than the Web-based version. There's nothing wrong with
the Web-based version, of course; I just prefer
command-line tools whenever possible. There's a demo
of the Web-based interface available for anyone who's
interested.

Protocol (TCP/IP) -- fielded questions on an array of
topics, including his disdain for the current U.S.
administration's handling of science and technology
issues.
