Re: [Asrg] Devilish: Forget about DNS

Oh, no.  That's wrong.  You want to continue using DNS 'for what it was
built' which is mapping between names and addresses. You just don't want
to use it for this particular, new name/address mapping.
RMX/LMAP drafts address the question of relationships between a given domain and a given MTA's IP address. There is nothing wrong with using DNS for this purpose and as a matter of fact, the XMPP draft uses a very similar mechanism via DNS.

HOWEVER, if you want to store sender's identity in DNS that is a different question. Then, I would agree with Hadmut that DNS was not designed to store information about specific email accounts.
