I couldn't find prior discussion about this, if I missed it somehow could someone cluestick me?
We've been working with Murray on openarc, and there are some chain validation failure modes that closely resemble a dkim tempfail (for instance, DNS unresponsiveness when trying to query for a key). Right now, these create chain states of cv=fail. We believe this is the correct behavior, as a message in transit amongst multiple hops cannot cleanly have a temporary error retried, so the temporary failure effectively becomes a permanent error for the chain and cv=fail is justified because the chain is dead from this point forward. That said, is there any value (especially for final receivers), in transmitting that this failure was due to a temporary error and not necessarily a permanent one? And is so, where would this transmission live?
