This highlights one of the issues with the IETF publication process: many people assume that anything with an RFC number is an IETF standard. It was my understanding from Murray's message of March 26 that DMARC was being considered as an informational RFC, which of course is not a standard. More broadly: I'm not an expert on IETF publication criteria, but I hope that, especially given this confusion, controls are in place to protect against the publication of informational RFCs that might be harmful in some respect. -Jim _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
