Re: [Mailman-Developers] GSoC project - Implement module to process ARC headers

So if we have a domain name associated with the ip, I'll go ahead and make the TXT records. Else, we'll have to create a new one. I'm not aware of any way to avoid this. Let me know if you are aware of any :)
Ah, that's a problem. I don't have control of the DNS yet. We'd need to interact with Mark. Anyway it's too late for this one, there were procedures to be taken earlier in the week. I'll get you on the arc-interop list, there should be another one in the summer at the pace they've been going.
Yes, I went ahead and made the changes.
Good!
I have a separate module 'arcpy' installed in my python dist-packages now which is basically the refactored 'dkimpy' package. I don't think its the best of names since it doesn't give the idea of presence of DKIM signing/verifying features. Any ideas for the same?
Not really. Keywords that might be useful aside from ARC, DKIM, and DMARC: mail, post, verify, track, key, sign, identity.
Ah -- one brainstorm -- kimpy = "key identified mail.py".
As far as words go, you could just keep dkimpy, too, since ARC depends on domain keys for its semantics, as well as on DKIM for its signing protocol. "adkimpy"? Lots of double meanings there: Aditya, ARC, augmented, domain, divikar. :-)
I was surprised by the news, but Google also chose dkimpy for its implementation of ARC. I haven't had time to look at it, but maybe early next week (not publicly licensed, sorry, no URL).

So should a new conversation be started with Mark for our request?

Okay!

That sounds good! The mail
keyword gave an idea - emailauthentication

Hahaha! In case we choose that, that can be our inside joke.
Narrowing it down, we have the options - dkimpy, kimpy, adkimpy ( meaning augmented/arc - domain ;) ), emailauthentication, and any others with keywords you specified.

I had read on the arc list that an OpenARC implementation was being developed by Murray Kucherawy. So I suppose that we may have the news of it being released on the list soon.
