The message is not discarded either, so the mailbox users knows about it because people tend to write back: "why your message was marked as spam?"

At no point in the spec DMARC tells to "discard the message". _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
