As Dave Crocker often reminds us, there is no evidence that the contents of the From line has any effect on users' security decisions, even in the ever more rare case that the MUA shows the address and not just the comment. But it is nice to know who a message is from. I am on a few lists that are misconfigured to put the list's address on the From line with no hint about who wrote the message. My impression is about half the messages on such lists are "could you put your name in the body of the message so we know who it's from, please." -- 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
