semi [OT] IEFT moves DK to draft standard

[Sergio Rabellino]

Probably I misunderstand/missing some technical details, but placing a 
pubkey anywhere isn't a trust model, the MTA's  will trust the DNS ?
They're only moving the problem from MTA trust to DNS trust. Maybe it's the 
solution or maybe not.

sorry for the pingpong.

Sergio

The way it works it you place your public key in your DNS records, so no
overall 'trust' path.
