  1. IETF 66 EAI WGTesting Report TWNIC snw@twnic.net.tw

  2. Outline • Introduction • Downgrade • Scenarios • Mailing List • POP3 • Issue

  3. Introduction • Base on sendmail • Sendmail complier with Milter (8.13.6) • Mimedefang for address/header rewrite (2.56) • Most coding by perl (string process) in Mimedefang • Trial System • eai1.twnic.tw EAI SMTP (RH9.0, pam + mysql) • eai2.twnic.tw EAI SMTP (RH7.3, pam + mysql) • downgrade.twnic.tw Original Sendmail version • Test by using ‘telnet’ command

  4. eai2 Architecture Envelope From/To & Header downgrade Envelope To possible upgrade by eai1 to transfer punycode local part to UTF8 eai1 downgrade.twnic.tw 台網中心.tw (xn--fiq43lrrlz83a.tw) twnic.net.tw (All domain are same server) Only downgrade Trace Field

  5. Reference • draft-ietf-eai-framework-00.txt • draft-ietf-eai-utf8headers-00.txt • draft-ietf-eai-scenarios-01.txt • draft-ietf-eai-smtpext-00.txt • draft-ietf-eai-mailinglist-00.txt • draft-ietf-eai-pop-00.txt • draft-ietf-eai-downgrade-01.txt

  6. Downgrade -Envelope • Downgrade (eai1 to downgrade) • Sender EAI-aware to Destination not EAI-aware • Downgrade Envelope From/To • MAIL FROM: <UTF8@UTF8> EAI-Parameter=ATOMIC • RCPT TO: <UTF8@UTF8> EAI-Parameter=ALT-ADDRESS • ATOMIC: UTF8@UTF8  iesg--PUNYCODE@IDN (xn--) • ALD-ADDRESS: to replace address by ALT-ADDRESS

  7. Downgrade -Header • 8bit Header (UTF8) SHOULD downgrade with MIME • UTF-8 information MUST NOTappear in Received fields • Trace Field (Received) ‘for’ clauses downgraded with punycode • Add Header: I-EMAIL: 1.0;downgraded by EHLO (PTR [IP])

  8. Downgrade -Sample (eai1 to downgraade)- SMTP negotiation (telnet from eai2 to eai1)

  9. Downgrade (outlook express view)

  10. Downgrade (Openwebmail view)

  11. Mailing List • Base on sendmail mailing list function • Format maximum 3 columns • Email • EAI-Parameter with ‘{‘ ‘}’ • Comments with ‘(‘ ‘)’ in 2822

  12. Scenarios • A, B and C are i18mail users • X,Y and Z are original ascii user • L is i18n-aware • LA is non-i18n-aware • S is Sent success • R is Reply Success • Linux ‘mail’ command for EAI to reply • Outlook Express for non-EAI to reply

  13. Scenario for Draft in TWNIC EAI trial -From EAI

  14. Scenario for Draft in TWNIC EAI trial – From non-EAI (downgraded)

  15. Other Scenarios • A to B , relay by non-EAI MTA • eai1 ->downgrade -> eai2 • Once downgrade , all downgrade • X to Y , relay by EAI MTA • downgrade -> eai1 -> downgrade

  16. EAI POP3 • TWNIC design a simple i18n-aware POP3 service • The POP3 service was developed with PERL language • Our key point • ‘CAPA’ responses ‘UTF8’ , the MUA can login with UTF8 or punycode (also implement MIME, but we think it is better using punycode). Different encoding map to the same mailbox • ‘CAPA’ don’t response ‘UTF8’ , login as punycode, and MDA store mail as punycode mailbox name

  17. EAI POP3 Screen Shot

  18. Issue 1 • May addr-spec change ? Should we have to use ESMTP argument (such as eai-parameter) ? • Make sense MSG from/to regards as envelope from/to between both EAI MTA • Easy to implement in mailing list and parser, not confused in other symbols (‘,’ ‘:’ ‘#’ ‘;’ ‘|’ ‘&’…) • Some MUA (Outlook) can input and keep ‘{‘ ‘}’ information in address book, and transmit ‘<addr {eai-parameter}>’ it to MTA, if EAI MTA is known • When relaying, POSSIBLE ESMTP arguments (Ex: SIZE,AUTH,NOTIFY ) do not pass to next relay EAI MTA, cause EAI-Parameter MAYBE lose the argument. • Broken the addr-spec is not a good idea • Any opinion or method is welcome, we need more comment for our trail

  19. Issue 2 • Recommend: alt-separator for mailing list is same to ‘utf8header’ • List-* MAY appear alt-separator before REQUEST-URI (Query String) • List-Id: “Testing \(TWNIC EAI TESTBED\) ” <中文@台網中心.tw> • Can be null • List-Subscribe: <mailto:中文@台網中心.tw{atomic}?subject=subscribe> • Using in List-* and URI ‘mailto’

  20. Issue 3 • EAI-Parameter replaces Envelope From, and some consideration • Alt-address can be assign to another domain name that is different host from original mail address? • EAI need more detail describe conflicts with other extensions (DSN/MDN/AUTH…etc) and services • EAI need to take care SPAM issue under ALT-ADDRESS

  21. Issue 4 • SPF will check Sender from MTA, EAI-parameter is possible confused • Is EAI-parameter restricted to MTA domain ? • If not restrict, we don’t know how to setup SPF

  22. Issue 5 • Issue in DKIM • EAI is possible to change Envelope From/To and Message From/To, this action causes ‘h=‘ clause verify failure • EAI-Downgraded-From/EAI-Downgraded-To (or other downgrade header) is in need for DKIM • Whether downgrade header or not, when transmits to destination MTA via MSP, DKIM can’t sign before this • Some small issue in ‘c=relaxed/simple’ when downgrade causes folding/non-folding
