From: bblisa [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Ritter
Mitigating the effects of the DMARC reject policy are difficult.
All known mitigation techniques break some user expectations
and/or degrade the user experience.
"break user expectations and/or degrade the user experience" is synonymous with "rawr, I want
a random email server on the internet to be able to relay mail from me, I don't like it when things in the
world change, rawr." And your response is "change to a different email provider," which is an
even bigger change.
If you set dmarc_moderation_action = Munge From, the behavior is: Users send email to the list. The
list distributes the message. Recipients still see "From" the original user, "via
the list," because in fact, the list modified the message. Recipients are still able to reply
privately to the sender, or to the list. They're still able to see who it was from. Everything
simply works.
Take this list, for example. [email protected]. Notice that the From address says "from
bblisa-bounces on behalf of Dan Ritter." You can ask our list moderators how the list is
configured - Are we using "Munge From?" or some other setting?
I wouldn't have even noticed that particular detail about this list, except
that we're having a conversation about it, so I specifically looked for it. I'm
on dozens of mailing lists, and this has simply become the new normal. You
don't hear anyone complaining about it on this list. And I don't hear anyone
complaining about it on any other lists.
I dunno. Maybe everyone has quit using Yahoo already.
I'm on a number of lists and run several of my own. For some it wasn't
an issue because the settings of how replies worked on those lists
essentially did not change with the "munge" options. But on others
replies expected to go to the originator instead went to the whole list,
which has caused some consternation... :)
