Not using the 'authorization of specific domains through DNS' solution which is clearly the more thorough of the two I mentioned. Charles A.

I explained the downside to Sender a few messages back: it lets people put any address they want in the From line so it becomes just a filter on the reputation of the DKIM or SPF domain. If that were adequate, they wouldn't have invented DMARC. I agree that there is no particular downside to something like ATPS, but the fact that we've had ATPS for a decade and nobody has implemented it tells me that this is not a problem that the industry thinks is worth solving.
