I think overall, there are two concerns I have:

1) The over estimated use of the idea for "rewriting" and
2) the word or term "common" is used for mitigation methods.

Common means most and its not the case. Rewriting is a major industry taboo, in all mail or communications concept. Just because one or two renegade MLM wrote a kludge for their site, puts it on a wiki, does not make it legit at all, not one iota.

The doc infers that RFC6377 provides guidance, and it immediate jumps to a Rewriting "common mitigation policy." Thats not right. In fact, RFC6377 preaches ADSP or in general the DKIM Policy framework. I don't support Rewriting, its not common, its not a BCP. It reeks with IETF appeal problems. I don't think the doc should legitimize any idea of rewriting.

Other comments...

The doc should make a note that DMARC is an informational status domain. It is not a proposed standard nor a BCP. It is very incomplete and it is missing lots of considerations. The 3rd party issues was intentionally in an attempt to avoid a complex design issue, but that it could not avoid.

The doc fails to mention technical history with SSP ADSP, ATPS, or any of the RFC documents products such as:

  rfc4686  Analysis of Threats Motivating DKIM
  rfc5016  Requirements for a DKIM Signing Practices Protocol
  rfc5518  Vouch By Reference
  rfc5863  DKIM Development, Deployment, and Operations

and possibly others.

The docs should explain why ADSP was abandoned and why its "Super ADSP" [sic] version called DMARC replaced it.

Title: Interoperability Issues Between DMARC and Indirect Email Flows

Group: dmarc
Pages: 20

Abstract:
DMARC introduces a mechanism for expressing domain-level policies and
preferences for email message validation, disposition, and reporting.
The DMARC mechanism can encounter interoperability issues when
messages do not flow directly from the author's administrative domain
to the final recipients. Collectively these email flows are referred
to as indirect email flows. This document describes interoperability
issues between DMARC and indirect email flows. Possible methods for
addressing interoperability issues are presented.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
