Cooperative email for PDS operators
Lexicons (Draft)#
These are preliminary atproto lexicon schemas for Atmosphere Mail, published for feedback. They will change.
The NSID namespace is email.atmos.*, backed by atmos.email.
What's here#
email.atmos.attestation— A PDS operator's declaration of cooperative membership and mail domain control. The labeling service verifies DNS independently; the operator just declares intent and lists DKIM selectors.email.atmos.defs— Label vocabulary used by the cooperative labeler.
Open questions#
- Should the attestation carry more than DKIM selectors? Or should the labeler handle all DNS verification with zero operator input beyond the domain?
- Is
key: "any"(domain as record key, one record per domain per DID) the right model for multi-domain operators? - Are three label values (
verified-mail-operator,relay-member,clean-sender) enough, or does the cooperative need finer granularity from day one? - How should negative reputation signals (warnings, probation) be handled before Permissioned Data ships?
If you have opinions on any of this, open an issue or reach out.
