Dear Elizabeth,

The TPA-Label scheme permits the Trusted Domain (email provider) to examine 
their own DMARC feedback compared against domains in their outbound traffic.  
This comparison, when combined with domain reputation, should allow domains to 
be authorized as being within the federation of servers protecting federated 
identities (From header field).  A flag was just added to signal a policy 
failure that a domain has been excluded from the federation to suppress any 
further processing once a decision is made.  The domains within the federation 
can be communicated within a single DNS transaction using a single and highly 
cacheable resource.

While large providers such as Yahoo and Google might be able to determine which 
third-partys are likely okay, ensuring the cooperation of rejecting rogue 
servers is important and is not being achieved.  Currently, users are forced to 
check spam folders to find otherwise legitimate messages, so even degrading 
reject to quarantine represents an outcome that is still placing users at risk.
