If your customer trusts you enough to allow you to sign their organisational domain (i.e. they've published a public key with a selector that you proposed, or given you the private key of an existing pair) then, presumably, they'll trust you enough to publish SPF, MX and - assuming that you want the feedback - DMARC records for an ESP-specific sub-domain:

esp.customer.example TXT "include:_spf.esp.example"
esp.customer.example MX 0 bounces.esp.example
_dmarc.esp.customer.example TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]";



MAIL FROM: [email protected]

DKIM-Signature: v=1; ...; d=customer.example
From: [email protected]



This can pass both SPF and DKIM, send the bounces for this stream back to you, maintain DMARC alignment for SPF (which may improve authentication coverage) and send DMARC feedback to you for your sub-domain.

Hi, all.

I'm taking a first look at DMARC, and I have a few questions. My interest is as a third party sending mail on behalf of another organization, and I want to handle bounces for that mail. So if the mail I'm sending looks like this:

MAIL FROM: <[email protected]>

DKIM-Signature: v=1; ...; d=example.com; ...
From: [email protected]
Date: Fri, Feb 15 2002 16:54:30 -0800
To: [email protected]
Subject: here's a sample

Clearly, the SPF identifier is not in alignment. However, am I correct in understanding that this would still pass the DMARC check, as long as the DKIM signature (which is in alignment) validates?

Assuming that's correct, would this be considered an acceptable practice? I've looked at the FAQ question on third-party senders, and I think what I'm describing corresponds to the suggestion A.2 there.

Has anyone suggested allowing the DMARC record to specify acceptable third-party domains for the RFC5321.MailFrom? In other words, the record for example.com could specify that a MailFrom of 3dparty.com should be considered in alignment for the purpose of SPF checks?

Regards,
Joe Humphreys
