“Talked about” is exactly correct. That RFC describes it as an existing practice and describes one common use where the + sign is used. Which is correct. But this is all completely independent of the email protocols and the RFCs which de

by teddyh 3mo ago
Are you implying that plus addresses are part of RFC 2822? Because they aren’t. AFAIK, no RFC documents specify the plus address convention. The RFCs merely specify that, in an email address, whatever is to the left of the @ sign is to

> We could agree to use percolate though, it was suggested elsewhere in the thread and it's a fun word and easier to spell. A more accurate term would be to talk about waiting until old DNS entries “age out”, or “expire”.

In early computing history, the unit of memory was not established yet, and different hardware architectures had different word sizes , not even necessarily evently divisible by 8. And the memory sizes of these machines used to be expre

No, a CNAME can only point to a host name, not a URL. So Cloudflare’s servers would need to know about, and be configured to serve the correct web page for, the “real” name from your side.

It’s still arbitrary, with no geographical (or other) form of propagation.

Yes, I am constantly needing to disabuse people of their misconception that DNS changes start to apply gradually by geographic distance , instead of applying arbitrarily by pure chance of when each resolver happened to query the record pre

The myth of DNS “propagation” needs to die. Changed DNS entries do not “propagate”. The old cached DNS entries in DNS resolvers simply expire, in an arbitrary order. DNS resolvers are not linked geographically; there is no “propagation”.
