Comment on Phishing: DMARC to the Rescue by Christophe Wolfhugel

Christophe Wolfhugel — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:36:21 +0000

Comment on Improving STARTTLS authentication in the Sendmail MTA by Gregory Shapiro

Thanks for the article. In it, you recommend adding a new attribute called “CA” (as Cert Altnames) to the access database value. I would recommend against “CA” as that is already a well known acronym for certificates (Certificate Authority). Since there is nothing limiting those values to two characters, I would use something more descriptive such as “Alt” or “AltName”.
