Internet mail relies on exchanges between systems that have made no prior
arrangement with each other. Widespread abuse of the email system has led
operators to demand accountability for the email their receiving SMTP
servers are being asked to process. Client SMTP Validation (CSV) provides
an economical service that permits a receiving SMTP server to decide
whether a sending SMTP client is likely to produce well-behaved traffic, or
at least to decide whether the client is sufficiently accountable for its
actions. CSV provides a small, simple and useful improvement to Internet
mail service accountability. It builds upon the existing practice of
service providers that accredit the networks from which sending systems are
connecting.
