The protocol is expected to be +employed on "spam relay protected" mail servers to allow traveling +customers still send their email via the protected server. For this, a +realtime database of "temporarily trusted" IP addresses is maintained by +a special daemon program. The database may be filled by, e.g. POP/IMAP +servers, and used by SMTP server. Another possible use of the protocol +is to have the database filled by RADIUS/TACACS server for all dialup +clients, and SMTP server using it to put the user identity into the +"Received" header along with the source IP address. The protocol itself +is defined in a separate document "whoson.txt". + +WWW: http://whoson.sourceforge.net |
