The v=DMARC1; is a magic number that tells you whether it's worth decoding the rest of the record. People put a lot of junk at tops of their zones, some of which is in k=v format and I would prefer not to try to decode records full of junk to see of a v= tag is in there somewhere. Other than that I agree there is no reason to specify the order of tags. -- Regards, John Levine, [email protected], Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. https://jl.ly _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
