Copy that to Reply-To: and write a mangled From: that looks troopy but passes DMARC.  Just like MLMs do.

Lists at MLMs have names that the subscribers will recognize, but the scout troop only has the Yahoo address.

There are certainly kludges that one can apply to circumvent DMARC rejections, but this is a clear failure, an existing legitimate mail use that DMARC breaks.


The entire problem with catering to the long tail is that it is holding hostage better email security. We should stop doing that. There is no right to stasis forevermore. If the scouts email breaks, they can get somebody to fix it. They will thank us in the long run when scammers can't phish using them as a prop.


I agree. Setting p=none makes DMARC non-actionable. I, for one, keep p=none because of mailing lists.

MLMs seem to be much better than ESPs, since their From: rewriting solves DMARC problems effectively, creating only an acceptable noise.

I added two new tickets:
