] controls all domains under this TLD - is run by the
] Sponsor Organization. What this means is that a system
] that tests to see if the connecting .mail domain is a
] valid, "no spam" domain, will be able to spot an attempt

] Attempts to forge can be rejected on the spot, or passed
] on to further spam-filter checks.

They need to publish a RFC-level document detailing how this
would work. I think they're saying a mail from amazon.com

receiving MTA can then check that the connecting host really
