There are countless entities in the email ecosystem, both legit senders and bad actors, who believe that authentication alone is enough to earn the privilege of delivery to the inbox, and they continue to be misinformed on that point. Authentication allows the receiving entity to reliably apply to the message in question any reputation information that the receiving entity has accumulated for the verified identity. A published DMARC policy allows the domain owner to request treatment by the receiving entity for mail that does not pass authentication checks; the receiving entity can honor this request or not based on their own local policies. -- *Todd Herr* | Sr. Technical Program Manager *e:* [email protected] *p:* This email and all data transmitted with it contains confidential and/or proprietary information intended solely for the use of individual(s) authorized to receive it.
