This actually concerns me a bit. If having multiple From: addresses causes a message to be out of scope for DMARC and therefore bypass a p=reject policy, that sounds like a reason that attackers might start sending messages with multiple From: addresses in order to accomplish that.

If we decide we need to make DMARC bulletproof even in this case, then perhaps the move is indeed to codify the "check them all" logic that's been suggested. But I don't think we can say in this document that multi-valued From is no longer valid; that's perhaps in EMAILCORE's scope, not in ours.

I suggest we put in some non-normative words about check them all and move on. Let's throw this thing over the finish line.


The text in RFC 7489 is clear and terse. I suggest we copy that paragraph verbatim.

Additionally, we could add a note about the max number of domains, for example:

    To limit potential denial-of-service attacks, Verifiers MAY limit
    the total number of domains they will attempt to verify.

    (That is similar to what DKIM says about signatures,
     https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6376#section-4.2)
