Ok, i'll break it into two separate issues as they are related but not the same.

Discussion is in scope, per: https://trac.ietf.org/trac/dmarc/ticket/42 <https://trac.ietf.org/trac/dmarc/ticket/42>

This topic has come up before, and there's always general interest in pursuing it, and absolutely no one who puts their hand up for either it being impactful for them or having any interest in implementing it. i.e. it seems interesting to people, but there seems to be no use case with operational support to actually add it.

So from those previous discussions, I don't think it's likely that we'll add reporting beyond mailto:, but it is certainly a conversation that's in scope when either ticket is opened.

    Michael, please open a ticket. I think you're right and some
    consideration around this is needed in the document.

    What about the https part? If it's not in scope I don't want to
    add noise.

            I just scanned through DMARC and I couldn't find any
            security
            requirements/mechanisms for the failure reports. I would
            think at the
            very least the receiver consuming the reports ought make
            certain that
            the report at the very least have either a valid DKIM
            signature or a SPF
            pass. Unauthenticated data is always the source of
            mischief, and I'm
            sure that there have to be attacks that are possible with
            unauthenticated reports. At the very least this should be
            a security
            consideration, and most likely should have some normative
            language to
            back it up.


        I thought the usual rules about when you should or shouldn't
        trust a message ought to be applied, but I guess we never
        actually said that in the document.  We certainly could.

            Since I'm sort of new, it's been unclear to me whether
            whether having a
            new https transport mechanism is in scope or not -- it
            seems to come up
            pretty often -- but I'm not sure how people would propose to
            authenticate the report sending client. That seems to me
            to be a basic
            security requirement for any new delivery method. The
            problem here is
            there isn't a client certificate to determine where the
            report is coming
            from or any other identifying mechanism. An alternative
            might be to DKIM
            sign the report itself, but the long and short is that it
            would need to
            be addressed.


        As I recall DMARC originally (in its pre-RFC versions) did
        have "https" as a supported scheme for "rua", but since
        nobody implemented it during the years DMARC was in
        development, it got dropped before publication.
