This is explained here: http://www.dmarc.org/faq.html#r_2 As you may have noticed, this topic creates a lot of passion, it sometimes revolves around the "Who moved my cheese" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Moved_My_Cheese%3F), but that does not solve your immediate problem. In practice, contrary to popular belief, I don't have much issues in mailing lists, and I subscribe to a lot. DMARC receivers know when an email come from a reputable mailing list, or a known forwarder. Look in the DMARC aggregate reports when you are in p=none, it is written there. Also, due to company policies, it may be better for employees to subscribe to mailing lists using a personal email address. People may otherwise think they represent the company they work for, and a lot of mailing lists are public in nature. Finally you can find lot of explanations in this document: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6377 So while in theory this can be problematic for a domain with p=reject, in practice it can be quite minor. _______________________________________________ dmarc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://www.dmarc.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc-discuss NOTE: Participating in this list means you agree to the DMARC Note Well terms (http://www.dmarc.org/note_well.html)
