Abuse Reporting Format Passed IETF WG Last Call

The abuse reporting format I originally created in conjunction with ASRG and bunch of ISPs (that eventually morphed into MAAWG) has finally passed the Last Call in the IETF’s MARF working group. That means that it is now going to be going to the IESG for review and hopefully on its way to become an official Internet standard after almost five years.

This standard covers the way ISPs report spam and other abuse messages to each other and is currently in used by companies like AOL, Yahoo, etc. Becoming an official IETF standard is a big deal since it will finally put into final shape what this standard looks like.

Congratulations to the MARF co-chairs for leading the process and all of the participants.

My document repository will be updated some time tonight with the new information as well as all of the drafts.
