Thanks a lot to Don and John.
I think that the result is amazing.
Since UASG was created to promote EAI and IDN, I think that EAI deployment has achieved a great progress.
For exmaples:
1. major open source MTA is eai ready.
2. world class commerical email servers(microsoft hotmail and gmail) are eai ready.
 
If I read it correctly, I am surprised at that more than 10 percent of COM domain names are eai ready now. It is a very big number.
 
 
When this report is finalized, I suggest that UASG can release some news to let the public and some email vendors to know it.
for examples:
news 1:
 major open source MTA is eai ready.
news 2:
  world class commerical email servers(microsoft hotmail and gmail) are eai ready.
news 3:
   more than 10 percent of COM domain names are eai ready.
 
 
Cheers!

Subject: [UA-Coordination] Draft Results: EAI Readiness

John Levine has run an analysis of the EAI Readiness of the Internet¡¯s mail servers.

 

His DRAFT report is at https://docs.google.com/document/d/18W-dAr1Nhe_gVlFKDQZqsqB4bf5N86wryEcALnyUPTc/edit#heading=h.dba7p1kazxqa

 

This has some interesting findings:

 

  1. We now have a baseline measurement of EAI Readiness so we can measure progress over time.   NB: This is all EAI Phase 1 readiness, the ability to Send To and Receive From all email addresses.   This does not address the issue of being able to host an EAI address.  That¡¯s being done in a separate effort.
  2. We also have a list of the large MTAs (that announce their platform).   This will be useful as we pursue the last phase of the EAI Evaluation. 
  3. We¡¯ve also seen the impact of Microsoft¡¯s online facilities becoming EAI ready earlier this year.
  4. The EAI Readiness by TLD is potentially interesting.  I¡¯ve asked John to see if there are any marked differences with IDN TLDs.  

 

Before John does any more work on this, I¡¯m putting it out to this group for comments.

 

Once we¡¯re happy with the results we¡¯ll publish this as a report and on our Dashboard.   We¡¯ll also schedule this to be run once a quarter.

 

Comments are welcome.
